Good evening! I'm looking for a course in London in order to attend the DPSI exam next June. Unfortunately, there aren't many college or uni who offer this kind of course with the Italian combination I've found two main possibilities: one course is given by London Metropolitan Uni and is extremely expensive, while the other is hosted at South Thames College. Did anyone study at one of these two places?
Thanks

Hi saramarc,

The forum already contains some information on this topic. You can find it here: http://www.proz.com/forum/interpreting/32690-dpsi_courses_in_london_which_one.html

True, it dates back to 2005, so take it with a pinch of salt as things clearly have changed since then. Nevertheless, it might contain some useful information or insights.

The same applies to this forum thread: http://www.proz.com/forum/interpreting/241804-dpsi_vs_community_interpreting_certificate_course_uk.html

Alternatively, the IoL website already offers a comprehensive list of the institutions which offer the course here (http://www.iol.org.uk/qualifications/dpsi/courses/dpsicentres09.pdf).

South Thames College Apr 28, 2014

I have heard from colleagues that the Metropolitan is very good but the drawback, as you mentioned, is that their courses are very expensive. I studied for the DPSI at South Thames College and highly recommend it. All the teachers are excellent, multi-lingual and the course is well prepared.

South Thames's cheap and cheerful Apr 28, 2014

I'd also recommend South Thames College, with the proviso that it's ultimately up to you how much self-study hours you put in, as law is such a vast area. I personally found Mariana's course extremely helpful.

Thanks Apr 30, 2014

Thank you for your answers. I've been to the South Thames College for further enquiries about the course and it seems a really good one. I decided to go there on September, even because the other course is way too expensive.
Cheers:)
