Qualifications
Conference Interpreting Programme provides you with a professional training in simultaneous and consecutive interpreting. One can make use of the acquired skills not only on the Polish market, but also in European Institutions. As a part of the programme, I took a course in professional note-taking for consecutive interpreters. The programme also included subjects concerning European and International Organizations. Additionally, the conference interpreting programme focused on developing one’s language skills by incorporating interpreting from German into Polish. A course in Dutch was also a part of the curriculum.
