This will involve opportunities for practice, sitting a practice test, and the certification test. This is normally conducted over a 4 day face-to-face workshop.
In 2022 we will be looking for opportunities to provide testing online via video where possible.
These sessions are designed for certified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language interpreters who are looking to build on their professional skills and maintain their certification by earning professional development (PD) points.
