NAATI has commissioned Macquarie University to create three new professional development (PD) modules, designed exclusively for NAATI-credentialed practitioners:
Machine Translation (MT) Literacy
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Literacy
Interpreting Technologies
The first two modules are now live, with Interpreting Technologies launching in November.
Each 3-hour, self-paced eLearning module is free for NAATI-credentialled practitioners and eligible for 20 PD points (Category 1.5). They’re designed to provide you with the essential knowledge and confidence to navigate the rapidly evolving world of translation and interpreting technologies.
