This is a tricky question, as I understand we are not allowed to mention agencies names here
If you have recently passed your DPSI exam, then you must have heard names of the main players on the market.
Risking the edit by moderators the main 3 agencies are:
Capita - court interpreting
Language Line - hospitals and police in some areas, also telephone
thebigword - big telephone interpreting player... See more This is a tricky question, as I understand we are not allowed to mention agencies names here

Thanks for your response and information.
what are the rates these agencies currently pay? (for telephone interpreting in particular)
how many hours per week should I expect them to offer me for telephone interpreting?
I did the Law option so I don't think I can take health related assignments.
also do you think registering with the NRPSI is necessary / worth the roughly £200 annual fee?
I don't have any prior professional experience in interpreting.... See more Thanks for your response and information.

I don't have any prior professional experience in interpreting.NRPSI also issues an Interpreter's ID card which I think could be necessary/beneficial for a new interpreter,but it's only valid for 1 year and £200 sounds abit too steep for one year. ▲ Collapse

| Health and law options | Dec 12, 2013 |
I passed the DPSI (Law) exam and used to interpret in the UK 2 years ago. I'm not sure about other language pairs, but in my language pair, it was possible to receive health related assignments. The word then was that passing the Law option would allow you to receive both legal and health assignments, but passing the Health option would limit you to health assignments.

Assuming that you've had no prior interpreting experience, you won't be able to register with the NRPSI yet. You can read up on the criteria on their website.

the criteria says one can still register if they have DPSI and no experience.but the status will be interim not full.
their name will still be registered and searchable online and will also receive the NRPSI ID card.
