Through a mix of taught sessions, self-study, interactive activities and research and reflection, you’ll gain the essential training you need to take the CIoL DPSI exam.
You’ll learn to work collaboratively using our e-learning technologies.
Additionally, you’ll get the flexibility to tailor your studies to your preferred language combinations.
You’ll join a 3-hour live webinar every Tuesday 09:30 - 12:30 (January start course, Friday 09:30 -12:30), supplemented by synchronous and asynchronous online activities. You will also have the option of online one-to-one tutorials with the module leader to discuss your progress on the course.
In addition to your workshop sessions, you'll have tutorials with your Language Consultant. This will be a native speaker of your Other Language and an experienced interpreter and translator. Your Language Consultant will help you with all aspects of your interpreting and translation out of English into your OL target language including advising on bilingual terminology.
