BSL Interpreting questions

[dingatoo]

Hello,

I'm wondering if there are any qualified bsl interpreters on the forum asI have a few questions. My brother is trying to become qualified, but it seems quite hard to pinpoint the training needed and salary figures. My questions are:

1. I imagine that demand is area dependent, but in general how is the demand for interpreters?

2. What sort of hourly rates do fully qualified interpreters charge?

3. How long will the training be from newbie to fully qualified (level 6??)

Anything else that you can tell me about this career would help me out a great deal.

Thanks for listening.
