| This has aroused my curiosity | Mar 8, 2013 |
I noted with interest the range of languages offered, including my pair, and the fact that the examination can be sat at a large number of venues globally.
I wonder, if somebody living a long way from Australia passed this examination, how likely they would then be of receiving public service related translation work from Australia.
I also wonder how hard the 'Ethics of the Profession' section is.

Hi Tim,
Ethics is easy. Basically, you need to use your common sense, that's it.
A couple of links:

As for the first part of your question, well, I can't be sure, but I do not think that your location is THAT important (we are not talking about interpreting here, of course). So far, I have not been contacted by a single agency from South Australia (where I currently live) but the ones from Victoria and NSW are really keen on working with me (they have got more Russians over there). The first thing they ask about is the NAATI accreditation not your location. I can't see the difference for them between Adelaide or Paris from that point of view, unless they specifically need one residing in Sydney, in that case, neither Adelaide neither Paris would work for them.

You should get certified by a court in your state -- most of them require exams, and then you can interpret in any legal setting, and basically anywhere else. Interpreting and translation are totally different skills. Some people do both, but not that many, in fact. There is no translation/interpretation certification, although most certified interpreters translate at least some legal documents.
