To be a wholly positive experience for students from
application to course completion.

To be personalised, taking students on an individual basis, assessing, supporting and progressing learners in a constructive way.

To take students with limited experience in interpreting and progress them to reach in excess of the national standards, providing them with what is needed to achieve their future potential.

To take students with experience in interpreting and progress them to reach higher levels of accuracy, providing them with opportunities to further hone their interpreting skills and develop additional strategies to deal with the vast array of the situations interpreters have to face.

To model a positive attitude to learning, acknowledging openly that all participants, whether students or tutors, have more to learn, can handle mistakes responsibly and can continue to develop personally and professionally.

To be a place of enjoyment and even fun for all.

To focus on producing the best interpreters where
qualification and registration are the by-product – not the goal.
