COURSE DESCRIPTION
This qualification covers the competencies required for independent and self-directed work as an interpreting practitioner. It reflects the skills and knowledge required to interpret from a source language to a target language in complex dialogue and monologue settings where the physical elements of the setting or the number of parties involved can challenge the capacity of the interpreter to manage the discourse. The interpreter will require advanced skills in retention and recall and may be required to switch modes. The Advanced Diploma of Interpreting prepares interpreters for work in all community, business, and diplomatic domains, interpreting content that may not easily be predicted or planned for requiring a high level of subject knowledge, or intense assignment specific preparation.
The community, business, and diplomatic domains will include health and welfare, policing and courts, formal immigration hearings, education, the media, commerce, government, and international relations, professional sectors such as the law, technology, science, assignments involving formality, and participants with high status where the consequences of errors in communicative intent can have significant implications.
