Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing the horror that is having to deal with NAATI and am hoping one of the members on this can provide assistance!

NAATI didn't put on a French interpreting test this year but have scheduled one for next year. In order for them to have the required three months (!!) to mark the Ethics and Intercultural exam, I have been put on an Ethics and Intercultural exam in three weeks. I was told that I missed a deadline I didn't know about to gain access

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing the horror that is having to deal with NAATI and am hoping one of the members on this can provide assistance!

NAATI didn't put on a French interpreting test this year but have scheduled one for next year. In order for them to have the required three months (!!) to mark the Ethics and Intercultural exam, I have been put on an Ethics and Intercultural exam in three weeks. I was told that I missed a deadline I didn't know about to gain access to the online preparatory course. I hold a Ph.D. and a Master's in Interpreting and Translation and have 13 years' experience but not in Australia and, as such, will struggle with the content of these exams without any resources.

Does anyone have access to the preparatory course content? I'd be eternally grateful!

AUSIT Code of Ethics Sep 26, 2019

Hi Alison,

Although I do not have the content as such (they have only recently made these changes), I would suggest going through the AUSIT Code of Ethics because this is, essentially, the main document:

https://ausit.org/AUSIT/Documents/Code_Of_Ethics_Full.pdf

I hope it helps, and good luck!

Hi Vanda,

Thanks for your message. I did a bit of research and came across that also but no information whatsoever on the content. Hopefully it’ll be enough!

Hi,

Thank you but I sat the exams in October 😀

I don’t think anything could prepare you for the content without doing the coursework as it was all extremely random and strange. That said, I passed so it is possible.

Alison
