OUR INTERPRETING AND TRANSLATION TRAINING

Our interpreter and translation programme, in partnership with Bruce and Delfosse, will provide aspiring Deaf sign language interpreters and translators with the essential knowledge, understanding and skills for a career in the signed language interpreting and translation professions.

We will guide you through the programme and deliver all sessions in BSL. The first year will focus on the fundamentals of interpreting and translation theory and practice. You will be given the opportunity to apply the learning in practical sessions and the course is a mixture of teaching, group, and individual work, along with group and one to one tutorial sessions.

Translation Training Course Outline

Year one of the training consists of Theories and Principles and year two consists of understaking professional interpreting and translation assignments. In year 2, you choose either: Stream 3 Interpret within the same language Intralingual Relay Interpreter or Stream 4 Translate between a written and signed language. There is the possibility of completing both streams upon request.

The translation training will be provided in BSL by Linda Bruce and Lynn St John (Nee Delfosse) from Bruce Delfosse Interpreter Training, with guest Teachers including qualified RSLT. This will be a hybrid model of training. Some training will be delivered face-to-face onsite at our venue in Warrington and some will be delivered remotely online using Zoom.

What support will I get during the course?

Our two trainers, Linda and Lynn, will be on hand to support and guide you through the course.
