Ist es möglich, direkt nach der obligatorischen Schulzeit Dolmetscher zu werden?
Is it possible to become an interpreter straight after compulsory schooling?
To work as an interpreter, you need either a university degree or a qualification at upper-secondary level or higher, as well as training in applied linguistics or at an interpreting school. Direct entry into the professional world of interpreting is not possible without comprehensive training. Therefore, you cannot work directly as a translator or start training as one after your compulsory schooling.
