Diploma of Interpreting - PSP50922

Course Details

This qualification reflects the role of individuals who interpret between two languages, in general dialogue and monologue settings where the interpreter is able to control the interaction to assist retention and recall.In a general setting the context is usually broad and routine and the content or complexity of the situation can usually be predicted and planned for. There are typically two dialogue settings or a few monologue setting participants, to whom the interpreter has physical, visual or audio access.The Diploma of Interpreting prepares interpreters for work typically in the community and business domains, including sectors such as general health, welfare and community services, educational and social contexts, and tourism. It also includes interactions such as initial police interviews, over the counter interviews in customer and community information services, non-complex disability assistance, and other informal business and workplace interactions. The interpreting takes place where miscommunication or the consequences of errors in communicative intent can be readily managed through consultation and preparation, and where there are opportunities for error correction.The skills in this qualification must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian Standards and industry codes of practice.No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
