Curriculum

What You'll Actually Be Able to Do

No textbook theory. Every drill maps directly to booth performance.

1

Simultaneous Technique

Master the "split brain" — listening, analyzing, and speaking concurrently. Structured drills from basic shadowing to live diplomatic speech.

2

Consecutive & Note-Taking

Learn my personal note-taking system — symbols, structure, memory aids — so you can deliver 10-minute speeches with surgical accuracy.

3

Subject Preparation

Build glossaries for legal, medical, diplomatic, tech, and financial conferences. I'll show you the prep routines AIIC interpreters actually use.

4

Booth Hygiene & Team Protocol

How professional booths operate: boom handling, partner switches, relay interpreting, speaker management, and unwritten AIIC etiquette.

5

Speed, Stamina & Voice Care

Drills that push you to 180 wpm without losing meaning. Plus voice care techniques to keep you sharp across a 6-hour conference day.

6

Stress, Ethics & Career

Manage performance pressure. Navigate confidentiality at sensitive events. Quote, contract, and grow a conference interpreter career.

FAQ

Before You Enroll

Do I need prior interpreting experience?+

Strong bilingual Arabic-English proficiency is required. No prior interpreting training is assumed — we progress from basic shadowing to conference-level simultaneous.

What equipment do I need?+

A laptop, good headphones, stable internet, and a quiet room. I'll guide you on microphone setup and can recommend budget and pro options.

Will I get to attend a real conference?+

Professional Track students observe a real live conference with me when schedule allows (in-person in UAE, or remote observation for international students).

Is AIIC membership guaranteed after?+

No — AIIC admission requires years of paid conference experience and sponsor votes. This course prepares the foundation that leads toward AIIC eligibility.

Can I pay in installments?+

Yes — 50% on enrollment, 50% before mid-point session. WhatsApp us to arrange.
