Diploma in Public Service Interpreting
Although I’ve been in the language industry for nearly 10 years, I’ve only been here at Applied Language for 3 months, a period that has coincided with the start of our contracts with all the Northwest Police Forces. As has long been the case in the United Kingdom, one of the challenges has been to recruit high quality linguists in some of the rarer languages where the availability of interpreters is generally quite low, whilst developing our team of linguists in the more widely-spoken ones.
Among a number of initiatives aimed at improving employment and continuous professional development opportunities for interpreters in the current climate, we have identified a large number of excellent interpreters and are delighted to be in a position to help them pass the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting [DPSI].
This is the ultimate win:win scenario as the linguists gain a formal qualification which matches their professional experience, and it allows them to undertake assignments which require the Diploma. We further expand the large number of NRPSI and DPSI-qualified professionals already providing service through Applied Language and, of course, our customers can be reassured that the interpreter they work with has completed his or her Diploma.
The majority of these newly-qualified linguists, many of whom are very experienced in the Public Sector, are specialising in the Law module of the DPSI. Bearing in mind the new contracts we have with the Police, and the fact that the Ministry of Justice is about to outsource Court interpreting, these interpreters will join ranks with our established professionals at the front of the queue when these assignments are being allocated in the very near future.
If you are an experienced and ambitious interpreter who has been considering studying for the DPSI, please send a copy of your curriculum vitae to interpretingwork@appliedlanguage.com Please write your name and primary working language(s) in the subject line of the email.
