The Swedish Military Interpreter School (Swedish: Försvarets tolkskola; TolkS) is a joint armed forces language school within the Swedish Armed Forces
Contents
Overview
The school has operated in various forms since 1957. The school's staff is located in Uppsala Garrison in Uppsala.
The military interpreter training at the school, since 2011, is a specialist officer training forreserve officers over a total of one and a half years. The education begins with basic military training, and then follows a preparatory officer course, with a focus on officer skills. The basic training is normally assigned to another military unit.[1] After completing basic training, position training begins at the Armed Forces Intelligence and Security Centre in Uppsala. The cadets also receive civilian higher education credits for the language studies.[2]
Ever since the beginning in 1957, soldiers/conscripts and now officers have been trained in Russian. During the educational years 2006-2008, new conscription training in Arabic and Persian (Dari) was started, while the teaching materials in Russian were modernized.[2] Up until 2003, conscripts were also trained in Russian at the Defense Radio Institute (FRA). The first woman graduated from the Interpreting School in 1999.

Some alumni
Former students at TolkS are considered to be highly likely to go on to be influential, producing an exclusive social network of actors holding power positions such as ambassadors and other diplomatic positions, businessmen, politicians and professorships.[4]
The alumni has an internal social network among the former students, represented in organizational form as an association, or fellowship, tied very close to TolkS, by the name of Befälsföreningen Militärtolkar. While the name suggests being exclusively for military interpreters, it also includes members from other branches of the Swedish Military Intelligence with language training.[5]
