Sabine Centofanti, recipient of 2021-22 sponsored ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Award for excellence in the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI) talks about her experiences and what the DPSI means to her.

Why did you choose to study for a professional interpreting qualification?

It was important to me to achieve the skills that are specific to good interpreting. Such skills can’t be developed just by speaking a foreign language. I also felt that the DPSI interpreting qualification would provide me with the right certification for the skills I would need to work in my chosen field.

How does being qualified make you feel?

It makes me feel more confident about my capabilities. I can provide an interpreting service that meets recognised professional interpreting standards.

What plans do you have for the future: where would you like to be in your interpreting career in the next five or ten years?

This is a very difficult question! I don’t really know, to be totally honest, but surely the DPSI qualification will help me to create opportunities in my professional life and find new challenges. I may even think about expanding my interpreting skills via another qualification!
