Tiivistelmä
This article describes the status of interpreter training and qualifications in Finland. Interpreter training is provided at universities, universities of applied sciences, folk high schools and adult education centres, depending on the language and method of interpreting. The authors argue that university-level training should be made available regardless of the language or method of interpreting. Furthermore, the authorities should regulate and develop an accreditation system for the field of interpreting.
