Come along to an information session about a training course which will prepare students to take the NAATI para-professional interpreter test.
- WHEN? 6pm-7pm Thursday 31 July OR 3pm – 4pm Saturday 2 August
- WHERE? 2nd Floor, Theo Notaras Multicultural Centre, Civic
The course will be held at CIT, Reid Campus and is planned to start in September 2014.
Course fees will be greatly subsidised thanks to funding provided by the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) and scholarships will be available for the NAATI test. Once accredited, course graduates will be required to register with the OMA so that their services can be called on by ACT government departments.
COURSE ENTRY: There will be a fee of $100 to cover the cost of a voice recorder for each participant in the program.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS: As well as proficiency in your own dialect, there will be a requirement to have a good level of proficiency in the standard form of your language. You will also need to have a certain minimum level of proficiency in English, equivalent to Level 6 in the IELTS General Training scale (i.e. a competent user of English).*
The information sessions will be run by CIT Solutions and the Canberra Multicultural Community Forum (CMCF), and will cover course aims, format, costs, and how to apply for a place.
