The aim of this thesis is to better understand the current scenario of spoken-language conference interpreter training in Brazil. The first aim is to map out the diverse scenario of interpreter training and the second, to compare the curriculum and practices of these different courses with AIIC Conference Interpreter Training best practices. Some proposals for interpreter training were presented, based on the work of Danica Seleskovitch e Marianne Lederer, David Sawyer, Donald Kiraly and Rosemary Arrojo; and an overview of the history of conference interpreter training in Brazil and around the world was made, highlighting AIIC s prominent role in this process. These are the profiles of the courses that took part in the survey: three graduate-level courses, three undergraduate level, one extension course and four commercial courses. Their practices were analyzed according to AIIC s best practices for interpreter training. We concluded that even though no school has fully met all AIIC s recommended criteria, interpreter training in Brazil is on the path to professionalization.
