Hi everyone


planning on passing the DPSI exam and looking for courses available in London. Found quite a few of them, big difference in enrolment fees... Really difficult to choose one. Feedback from anyone who's taken the course would help enormously.


I need to find something really soon, so please reply ASAP


Thank you in advance

London Metropolitan University also run short courses and I’ve heard they are very good. I wouldn’t recommend Hammersmith and Fulham but I rather not go into details here.

I'd like to resurrect this topic if it possible. Does anyone out there have views on which would be the most appropriate centre at which to study for legal interpreting in London? I note there were previous reservations about one particular institution.
