It's not easy to access information, books and articles on the Interpretation profession in the UK. We address this in a small way with this resource page.
Coming soon
We will be stocking a few excellent Interpretation titles direct from the U.S, printed by the National Association for Interpretation. These titles are not available anywhere else in the UK.
One of the best books on live interpretation is 'Personal Interpretation' by Lisa Brochu and Tim Merriman. An essential textbook for new or experienced interpreters alike. A perfect complement to the Certified Interpretive Guide training programme.
Highly recommended.
Stock available from October, Please check back then.
