Why Choose Talking Heads?
Talking Heads was named ‘BEST IN THE COUNTRY (UK)’ upon winning the Nuffield Trophy for Best Group Entry.
Talking Heads is one of the officially listed training providers of CIoL language training courses AND an established provider of language services to the private and public sector for over 18 years. These two facts mean that we know what the customer wants and how you can provide it.
Manage your learning in your own time. Content is accessed online whenever and wherever. Face-to-face Interpreting practice and live interaction Sessions arranged at your convenience.
I searched on the internet for a thorough programme about translation, and contacted a selection of companies, but to no avail (lack of details, when not even a reply!). My partner found Talking Heads and passed it on me. What made the difference was the obvious seriousness of your company and the fact that you replied very quickly and have been more than helpful in everything I needed since then.

I found the learning process very challenging and stimulating. As I am at the beginning of my learning, I find the whole process enjoyable.
Agata, DipTrans
So far I have enjoyed the course and I have found it all useful; the reading materials are useful, as are the translations and Skype sessions. I am really enjoying the course.
