Simultaneous interpreting is a significant subfield of translation and interpreting activities, and it is generally perceived as the most difficult form of translational practice since it requires a high command of using comprehensive and productive skills at the very same time and it necessitates a special working environment (soundproof booths equipped with necessary technical sound systems). The educational process of this profession, on the other hand, becomes more challenging, especially in Türkiye, due to the limited technical and human resources offered in the departments of translation and interpreting in the country. By taking into account this challenge, the present study aims to analyze the current technical and human resources allocated for the training of interpreters at the undergraduate level in Türkiye. In line with this aim, the present study will offer numerical data on the presence of laboratories for simultaneous interpreting and the profile of interpreter-academicians working in the departments of translation and interpreting in Türkiye. The locations of the universities, the presence of laboratories, the research fields of academicians, the number of interpreteracademicians, and the impacts of all these factors on the training of simultaneous interpreters will be discussed in detail to create an awareness of the limited resources in the field in Türkiye.
