DPSI Online with Helena El Masri

The best way to start the path of interpretation! My experience has been great, both my tutor and my language advisor have been very supportive. Being able to share experiences with people from all over the world has been a real luxury.

Its not just about interpreting, if you are in UK this will give you a complete knowledge of your rights and how to handle your day to day routine,

I learned a broad spectrum of knowledgeable, practical and ethical issues on how to become and further develop as an interpreter. The classes were fun to attend to, the people within the group truly lovely and the teachers not just professionals but really cool people to learn from and with. I Definitely Highly recommend this course!!

No doubt, this is the most comprehensive and straight forward course.

Perfect course for those looking to get into community interpreting as a profession. After passing the course, you become a qualified interpreter in your chosen language.

Well, I would first and foremost like to introduce my self because I am the first student who is not an Arab and who has no official Arab background nor culture that is connected to me, I solely studied the Arabic language out of love and reverence for the beautiful language, although I was born and bred in the UK and my language is English and that is what I use on a daily bases. I have to say, and I am saying this from my heart that this course has helped me out a lot, and that goes from understanding the profession of an interpreter to improving on my language of Arabic to an extend of just having a wider and broader image of how to be a disciplined interpreter. So, I would recommend any one out there who is looking for an comprehensive course and an understanding of how to become an successful interpreter this is the right course for you.

I have benefited so much from this course and I recommend it to anyone who is planning to work as a community interpreter. You don't have to worry about taking a bus or where to park your car to study this course, or even worry about catching or spreading COVID-19, as all you need is access to internet and a PC, laptop or even your smart phone from the comfort of your home. Also for people who would like to do this course and have child care duties, you can do that around your child care duties, just like I did.

It covered extensive contents. I learnt more than I expected. I have much more understanding of the social and immigration system in UK. It also employed different ways to help my learning, e.g skype, zoom, dropbox, videos. Very informative.

I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to quickly embark on a community interpreting career with no experience in interpreting beforehand . The course gave me the self confidence I needed and the essential knowledge and skills necessary to start.

This is a robust, very well thought out programme delivered by humble professionals with significant experience in the field. The tutor and assessor were well positioned to challenge their learners and embed meaningful examples of real life obstacles and experiences. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone wishing to enhance their professionalism in the field and gain an accountable qualification.

The 12 weeks challange has been amazing for me. It helped me a lot in learning different terminology, how to introduce myself and to present myself professionally. Marta is a great teacher, her ways of teaching helps every individual to develop a professional attitude towards interpreting. It has been though and challenging, however the team has been professional. Ivona and Marta, I would like to thank you for having me as a student.

this course for me was a sea of knowledge.
