Training and professional development
Student, professional interpreter or interpreter trainer… the right training will make a difference to your work, your career and your job satisfaction.
Training can mean several things: initial training for students wanting to become interpreters; continued professional development (CPD) for professionals looking to hone their skills or gain a competitive advantage; and training of trainers for interpreters who want to pass on their skills to the next generation of interpreters.
─── Initial training
Initial training
The best way to become a conference interpreter is to get the right training. Learning the basics is essential and almost all conference interpreters study for a post-graduate MA in conference interpreting before joining the profession.
Although AIIC does not offer initial training, we can help you choose the right course and we have tips and advice for anyone already studying conference interpreting.
