Work more efficiently developing soft skills!
Professional skills
The objective of professional skills courses is to allow interpreters to work more efficiently, to develop certain soft skills and to train them for particular tasks. These courses are closely connected with interpretation technique (e.g. voice coaching, simultaneous interpretation with text) and with areas where interpreters work outside the booth (e.g. pedagogical assistance at universities, selection, specialised interpretation courses, meeting organisation and preparation).
DG Interpretation organises courses in the use of tablets (iPad and Android) in the booth, of portable interpreting equipment, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. These courses are tailor-made to the needs of interpreters and linked to the use of glossaries and other tools relating to meeting preparation.

DG Interpretation has a pool of interpreters who share their knowledge with their colleagues in these domains.
