Interpreting Career Qualifications for South Korea

I am from Ireland and am currently doing a BA in Asian Studies, focusing on Korean Studies. I am studying the culture and language of Korea and I will be studying in South Korea for a year. Will this qualify me to be an interpreter\translator in South Korea or will I need further qualifications?

3	Interpreting, may it be liaison, business or conference, requires more than just to speak two languages. That knowledge is best acquired by following a course in interpreting at postgraduate level. permanent link answered 01 Apr '15, 05:45 Gaspar ♦♦ 7.2k●14●18●29

1	You will need a degree or certificate in Conference Interpretation in English<>Korean. I have heard good things about the program in South Korea. permanent link answered 01 Apr '15, 12:02 Anyuli Ináci... 350●1●1●4
