"It has helped me to improve my language skills and taught me knowledge about the different topics, which are very practical. It would be definitely useful in the real working environment. It has been such a pleasure - you guys have made this a fabulous experience. I am looking forward for my exam tomorrow, so let me prepare a bit more..."

"I have really enjoyed the whole course, I cannot pick a favourite part. The course has given me an overview of the DPSI Law examination and also an understanding of the role of an interpreter in different scenarios, such as when working for the police or in court. I have gained profound knowledge about the legal system in England and Wales. Coupled with this, it has been interesting to learn about different relevant laws; I am sure these would help me in my role as an interpreter in the future. Doing the exercises throughout the course has improved my confidence and developed my interpreting skills. It has also widened my legal vocabulary in both languages."

Gerard (PT > EN), DPSI Law 2021

"The course was thoroughly insightful and the exercises exposed weaknesses in my interpretation that I did not realise before. I was able to find ways around this and better my skills through the regular exercises provided.

The course is exceptional, the exercises are helpful and I am very happy for having completed it"
