AUSIT NSW Branch - In the Loop: Hands-On Training with Portable Equipment for Simultaneous Interpreting

  ***  Complete your EOI before 12 May to be considered  ***  

  Places are limited so be quick!  

Join the NSW Branch for an onsite practical workshop focusing on the use of portable equipment to support simultaneous interpreting in courtrooms or other appropriate settings.

Branch member Silvia Martinez, Certified Specialist Legal Interpreter and a regular user of this equipment in court, will demonstrate use and share tips on what’s worked for her. Participants will have the opportunity to try the equipment and practise simultaneous interpreting in language-specific groups.

Places are limited, so we ask colleagues who are certain they can attend on the day to express their interest by Monday 12 May. Participants will be selected by Thursday 15 May on the basis of:

1. Ability to interpret in the simultaneous mode (essential); and

2. Language grouping, so that we can get the most out of the practice session.

AUSIT members will be prioritised. Please submit your EOI to participate here.

Our thanks to NAATI NSW for being our hosts and to Multicultural NSW Language Services for lending us the equipment which participants will be using to practise.
