Booth work and remote platforms
Simultaneous interpreting
The core of the profession: split attention, pacing, working in pairs, subject preparation and handling unexpected situations.
TRIS · School
The TRIS translation school
The agency has trained interpreters since the mid-1990s: simultaneous and consecutive interpreting, and professional development for those already working in the field.
Programme status
We are updating the programme and our teaching methods
We are revising both the content of the courses and the way we teach, so that they match how the profession works today: hybrid events, remote booths, AI tools and post-editing. We are doing this thoroughly, because teaching the old way where the profession has already changed makes little sense. Once the updated programme is ready, we will write to everyone who left their details. We send nothing else to that address.
Programmes
What the programme covers
Negotiations, delegations, accompaniment
Consecutive interpreting
Note-taking, memory, working with a speaker, etiquette and the limits of the interpreter’s role at an event.
For working interpreters
Professional development
Sector terminology, conference preparation, self-review, terminology databases and interpreter tools.
Approach
How this differs from university courses
Taught by practitioners
Classes are led by interpreters who work at real events, not only describe them.
Material from live projects
We train on what interpreters actually meet: live speeches, difficult diction, uneven pace, specialised terminology.
Equipment
The agency owns simultaneous interpreting equipment, so classes run in real conditions rather than with headphones at a laptop.
Small groups
Simultaneous interpreting cannot be learned in a lecture hall: everyone needs enough practical sessions.
Schedule and cost
How the training works
Training runs in groups around specific dates: every student completes the practical sessions rather than simply sitting through a course. Schedule and cost are therefore set for each group and announced together with the updated programme.
Format
Small groups working on the agency’s own equipment, in the real conditions of an interpreter’s work.
Schedule
Groups form around specific dates so that everyone completes the practical part.
Cost
Set for each group and announced together with the updated programme.
