WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE
The role of the community interpreter is becoming increasingly important, particularly in regions with many linguistic communities. The interpreter acts as a bridge between communities and enables people to access services and situations which would otherwise not be possible. This qualification enables speakers of other languages to learn about the area of community interpreting.
The qualification offers the opportunity to learn about the language skills required when working in the community – giving an awareness of how language changes depending on the situation. There is also an opportunity to look at how public and voluntary service sectors work and their interaction with the community. The role of the interpreter is also explored and discussed if you would like to use this as a stepping stone to becoming a community interpreter.
The aims of the qualification are to enable learners:
1 To learn how to use language skills to the best advantage
2 To learn about the sectors where interpreters may be required to work
3 To learn about the role of the community interpreter
This will take place each Wednesday evening from 15th January for 15 weeks from 6pm- 9pm at Shipley College
This course could be FREE for you (see the funding information below).
