Booking BSL interpreting for education and training

Education bookings can involve specialist vocabulary, long sessions and changing timetables. Good preparation helps interpreters support communication effectively.

Share the timetable

Give exact session times, breaks, room changes and the overall duration. For recurring courses, provide all known dates.

Send learning materials

Slides, lesson plans, reading material, technical terms and names help interpreters prepare for the subject.

Think about session length

Long teaching days or intensive sessions may require more than one interpreter. Build interpreter breaks into the timetable.

Keep changes communicated

If a room, lecturer, topic or timetable changes, update the interpreter or agency as soon as possible.
