How to book interpreting

How do you book me for an interpreting assignment?

When you contact me to enquire about booking me for an interpreting assignment, I will discuss with you the following details:

  • Date of the assignment
  • Time - how long the meeting will last
  • Purpose of the meeting and subject that will be discussed
  • Number of people I would interpret for
  • Type of event and venue (will determine whether consecutive or simultaneous interpreting would be used)
  • Place of the assignment (will be reflected in the time and cost spent on travelling)
  • Preparation - any written materials I could read and study in advance, which will help me to prepare for the assignment (for example, look up any specialised terminology and memorise it)
  • Charging rates
  • Form and date of payment

All the above details must be confirmed by the client in a purchase order before I confirm that I will undertake the interpreting assignment.

Charging rates for interpreting services:

Generally charging rates for interpreting services are quoted per ½ day, full day, or occasionally per hour (for example for telephone interpreting), plus travel and sometimes accommodation costs.

Because I work as a direct supplier and not as a "middle man” or an agency, I am able to offer competitive rates.
