In an increasingly interconnected world, the power of language has never been more apparent. As a community interpreter, you don’t just translate words—you create bridges of understanding that span cultures, ethnicities, and experiences. By enrolling in the Level 3 Community Interpreting Course offered by DPSI Online with Helena El Masri, you can unlock the power of language to impact lives and empower communities.
As a community interpreter, your role extends beyond conventional interpretations. You serve as a crucial link connecting diverse communities, promoting inclusivity, and enabling effective communication for those facing language barriers. Our comprehensive course prepares you to succeed in this rewarding profession, guiding you to manage professional boundaries, handle challenging situations, and maintain confidentiality—all essential traits of an effective community interpreter.
Contribute to Social Integration
Community interpreters play a key role in ensuring everyone gets access to essential services, regardless of language proficiency. Whether it’s in healthcare, education, social services, or housing, your skills can make a real difference, enabling non-native speakers to understand and navigate complex systems. As an interpreter, you can contribute to a more inclusive society, ensuring that language is no longer a barrier to accessing vital information and services.
Detailed, Comprehensive Curriculum
Delivered virtually on Zoom in intimate groups of up to 12 students, the course emphasizes personal attention and quality interaction. A unique aspect of our training program is the inclusion of three one-to-one sessions with a language assessor – a level of support that distinguishes us from other providers in the industry.
The course structure spans across various critical areas of community interpreting:
- Weeks 1 – 4: Introduction to Community Interpreting, Healthcare, Sexual Health, and Mental Health.
- Weeks 5 – 8: Social Services, Education, Welfare Benefits, Housing, and Immigration.
- Week 9 – 11: Ethics, Continuous Professional Development (CPD), Cultural Awareness, Telephone Interpreting, and the Business of Interpreting.
- Week 12: Final Assessments.
