Hello, my experience is similar to yours, and I am also a career preparation teacher. Later, I was admitted to the International Interpretation College, but I did not take the conference interpretation (commonly known as CI), but took the professional master's interpretation direction (MI) and graduation certificate. The ci you mentioned is a high-intensity training teaching mode. Academic qualifications and degrees will not be awarded after graduation. If you can graduate successfully, you will get a certificate issued by the European Union (a very invincible certificate). As for whether to give up the establishment, you can negotiate with the unit. Regardless of this, you must attend classes and practice a lot after class, otherwise you will fail the exam for one to two years, fail the final exam in the second year, and get nothing (the intensity and pressure are too great for outsiders to understand). If your company agrees to leave your job without pay in the past two years, (as far as I know, the organization is very sensitive to whether it is on the job) that's best, otherwise you can only choose one. The intensity of class and the practice of conference interpretation should not make you work normally at school, but it will definitely have an impact.
