The training of translators and interpreters in sub-Saharan Africa began in the 1980s with the creation of the Advanced School of Translators and Interpreters of Buéa in Cameroon. Today, there are several schools and training programmes in South Africa, Cameroon, Benin, Senegal, Mauritania, and Côte d’Ivoire, to name but a few. However, the literature on these training programmes is virtually non-existent. Apart from (Afolabi in J Afric Lang Trans Stud 4:55–72, 2019) reflection in an article on translator training in Nigeria, very few research papers address issues of training, quality assurance, and the relevance of those programmes. Similarly, there is no exhaustive mapping of curriculum developments across industry sectors to market demands. This chapter analyses the relevance of translation and interpretation programs with regard to market needs.
