Overview
You will need to do an assessment. For levels 1 and ,2 we assess your English abilities.
As with the Level 1 Award in Understanding Community Interpreting, this qualification is not a training course to become an interpreter. Those wishing to carry out paid work are advised to undertake training at Level 3 or higher.
This course allows learners:
▪ to understand how to get voluntary bilingual work
▪ The learners will look more closely at some of the aspects of language and other skills which they will need in order to be successful on community interpreting training schemes.
▪ Learners will develop personal skills such as assertiveness and listening skills which will support their future study and work as community interpreters.
▪ There will be an opportunity to further develop awareness and knowledge about public services in the UK
