The role of the Community Interpreter has become increasingly important, particularly in regions with many minority linguistic communities. The community interpreter acts as a bridge between these communities and public services, enabling people to access services and deal with situations that would otherwise be very difficult. This qualification is for speakers of other languages to develop the language and skills necessary to train as community interpreters at Level 3 and higher levels. As with the Level 1 Award in Understanding Community Interpreting, this qualification is not a training course to become an interpreter. Those wishing to carry out paid work are advised to undertake training at Level 3 or higher.
Entry requirements
You will need to attend an interview to assess your suitability for the course. You should have completed the Level 1 Award in Understanding Community Interpreting.
