"Andrew Gillies' book offers a fount of useful, practical and fun exercises which students can do, individually or collectively, to develop specific skills. A great book for teachers and students alike to dip into."
Roderick Jones, author of Conference Interpreting Explained
"Andrew Gillies' book offers a much-needed mine of exercises, advice and inspiration for students of conference interpreting - and their trainers. Without over-complicating the skills and dedication needed to acquire professional competence, this book makes it clear that learning is a long-term process and provides a range of both tried and tested and innovative (and even fun) solutions to the issues all trainee interpreters face. The different skills that must be mastered are described and exercises recommended, always with explanations as to why this would work and how. Gillies draws on his own wide experience as a professional and a trainer and has put together a compilation that is sourced widely from the world of conference interpreting, providing students with the means to enhance their training and gain greater understanding of what is really required to succeed in this profession. A treasure trove for all those eager to progress on the path to expertise."
Alison Graves, Head of Training at the European Parliament
"If someone were to ask me what book I would want with me if stranded on a desert island, and if I had to train interpreters, the answer would be easy: Conference Interpreting: A Student's Practice Book by Andrew Gillies."
Barry S. Olsen, 'One Interpreting Practice Book to Train Them All', InterpretAmerica
"Conference Interpreting: A Student's Practice Book is a wide-ranging, diverse compilation of resources that students and trainers of all levels will want to have on their bookshelf and consult as the need arises. [...] I consider the book to be a major contribution to interpreter training."
Michelle Hof, The Interpreter Diaries
"This is a book which may be used not only by the interpreting student and their trainer (a basic glossary of interpreting terms is included), but also by practising interpreters wanting to improve a certain skill or to add a language. [...] As a reference book that you often dip into to top up your skills (think Continuous Professional Development), it comes as both a very convenient and sometimes entertaining and convivial must."

"Gillies' Conference Interpreting is once again a must-read book by student interpreters."
