SOME QUOTES FROM OUR STAFF:

"Being trained as an interpreter and translator by Southeast Interpreting and Translation Services, I have been for the past 2 years able to use my time, knowledge and dedication for the benefit of my community."

Czech and Slovak Interpreter

"Translations go through considerable, extensive and strict working procedures.  I work with other translation companies in the UK, larger than SITS, and their quality assurance procedure is very weak in comparison to SITS."

Arabic Translator

"I tutor the Community Interpreting Level 3 courses for Southeast Interpreting and Translation Services and enjoy working for them because I have the flexibility to tutor according to learners' needs and the administrative backup needed."

PACE Interviews - One Day Training Course at Brighton Police Station - 5th November

Southeast Interpreting and Translations Services are pleased to offer their interpreters this course.  We would like to thank the Brighton Police Station Anti-Victimisation Unit for their support in providing us with two trainers and a free training venue.  The training will teach interpreters the techniques required for this kind of interview.  Although this course is now full, we do hope to work with Brighton Police in providing further courses in the future.
