Application

This unit describes the skills required to interpret in collaboration with one or more other interpreters as part of an interpreting team or in relay, observing each other’s work and providing practical support to achieve effective communication that satisfies professional and industry standards.

This unit applies to those working as interpreters in both consecutive and simultaneous modes, in dialogue or monologue settings and includes team, tandem and relay interpreting. The presence of multiple interpreters confirms this as a complex setting.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and industry codes and standards for ethical translating and interpreting adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work independently and as part of a team, using a broad range of support resources as required, while performing sophisticated tasks in a range of specialised contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
