The training of interpreters, and in particular, the training of conference interpreters is a relatively recent practice. In Spain, where the training of interpreters started to be organized in the form of University degrees in the 1970's, there exist a wide variety of training programs, including masters and 4-year degrees. The training offered varies a great deal from one University to another, both in the content and in the structure. This thesis looks into the general situation of the training of interpreters in Spain and compares it to that of a network of conference interpreting training programs : the EMCI. The aim is to pinpoint the main differences among training programs in Spain to offer a wide overview of the situation and see whether some elements could be harmonized.
