Certified Provisional Interpreters transfer non-complex, non-specialised messages from a source language into a target language that accurately reflects the meaning.
NAATI’s Certified Provisional Interpreter Test is an objective assessment of the skills and competencies needed to practice as an interpreter in Australia.
What Will The Test Ask Me To Do?
The Certified Provisional Interpreter Test involves three tasks:
Two consecutive interpreting face-to-face dialogue tasks
One consecutive interpreting remote dialogue task (via telephone)
Each task is delivered as a live role-play. There will be two Role-Players for each role-play, one English-speaking and one speaking the test language.
You will be required to interpret in consecutive mode for each of the Role-Players. Each task will last 10-12 minutes and will be set in a different domain.
