Introduction to Interpreting Skill Set

This course is designed for people who already have work experience as an interpreter and wish to meet the eligibility requirements to sit the NAATI Certified Provisional Interpreter test or apply for the NAATI Recognised Practising Interpreter credential.

You will complete four subjects, which cover:

• ethics in interpreting and translating
• preparation for an interpreting or translating assignment
• communication and discourse management techniques
• building glossaries.

Throughout this course, you will learn and apply the professional codes of ethics as an interpreter, prepare work plans, manage discourse and prepare glossaries for translating and interpreting assignments. The course will expand on the ethical implications and practical skills required for interpreting or language-related roles within a workplace or community, when candidates wish to practise as professionals.
