In the summer of 2009, and every other year after that, the Center will continue to offer intensive simultaneous and consecutive interpreting training in Mandarin-English, Japanese-English, and Korean-English. If we have enough inquiries, other language combinations can also be offered.
Other interpretation and translation courses are being offered during the regular school year that are NOT language-specific and do NOT require an entrance test (unless specified). Most of these courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening
