Course objectives
The aim of the course is to provide students with the essentials of interpreter training, based on the premise that students will work outside class time on a regular basis. Homework in ELF will be supervised by an experienced teacher. The classes (every other week) will be taught by a practising interpreter whose expertise will make it possible for the students to get professional feedback and information about the situation on the market. A good working knowledge of both Czech and English is a prerequisite for attending the course.
