As we are currently reforming the program to best meet our participants’ needs and requirements, the new training cycle (CAS-DAS-MAS) will start up again in the fall of 2026.
More information will be communicated in 2026. On behalf of the MASIT executive board, Prof. Kilian Seeber
Overview
Objectives
- Acquire the fundamental skillset required to successfully train consecutive interpreters
Audience
Programme
Three thematic modules provide a solid grounding in the skill-and-task analysis for consecutive interpreting, cover the sequencing of training materials based on an incremental approach and focus on the diagnosis of recurring problems including the development of targeted solutions. Seeing the intended objective, which is to train court, medical, public service but also diplomatic interpreters, the certificate course does not comprise the development and teaching of a comprehensive note-taking system (see DAS in Interpreter Training).
Tasks and skills in Consecutive Interpreting • Sequencing and planning in Consecutive Interpreting • Problems and remedies in Consecutive interpreting
