Our care-focused Diploma of Interpreting covers the competencies required to interpret from a source language to a target language, in general dialogue and monologue settings where the interpreter is able to physically control the discourse to assist retention and recall.

About the Course:

Charlton Brown’s Diploma of Interpreting offers a formal qualification in interpreting that is endorsed by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI).

The Diploma of Interpreting prepares interpreters for work typically in the community and business domains, including sectors such as general health, welfare and community services, educational and social contexts, and tourism.

As a pre-requisite course for the NAATI Certified Provisional Interpreter credential, Diploma of Interpreting offers an opportunity for students who are bilingual in English and LOTE to better harness their language proficiency for professional purposes. Incorporated with a well-rounded teaching with both essential knowledge of the industry and plentiful exercises to hone their skills in interpreting, students may get prepared for a career in the language service sector that serves a critical need in regards to multiculturalism and diversity.

What You’ll Learn:

  • how to manage interactions such as initial police interviews, over the counter interviews in customer and community information services,
  • Handle non-complex disability assistance, and other informal business and workplace interactions would be expected in this role.

Brisbane Centre Campus Course TRAINERS

Eddie Da Teng

NAATi Certified Translator of English from/to Chinese, NAATI Certified Interpreter of English and Mandarin, Master of Arts in Chinese Translation and Interpreting at the University of Queensland, Certificate IV in Teaching and Assessment. Out of great enthusiasm in translation and interpreting study, I started working in the language service sector since 2016, and joined the vocational education sector as a translating and interpreting trainer one year later.

I have always felt blessed being able to work in a career which I have a true interest in. Making communication between meanings of two completely different languages, deliberating on the choice of a word that is so subtle yet significant enough to affect the whole sentence, exploiting every possibility to formulate the ideal semantic structure that can best fit in the context … they all fascinate me so much. It is not only about teaching students to be proficient in translating and interpreting skills, but also to take enjoyment in this practice. And I just feel obliged to pass on every bit of it to anyone who wishes to learn.

Franchezca Israel

Words cannot express accurately enough how grateful I am for having Fanny as my trainer during most of my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. The level of her service delivery was above and beyond my expectations, as well as her ethics and the knowledge and skill set she kindly shared with her students, always with a positive attitude, broad smile and gentleness that are her trademark.

Angelica Okawa

Teachers and general staff are always willing to attend our needs, tutoring, questions or even basic documents from reception. The campus is organised and clean. Library, learning materials and even the kitchen are always available for student’s use. I feel comfortable studying here and supported by my teachers. Having chosen to study Childcare at Charlton Brown has being a great decision. Thank you Fanny and Fei for your constant support both in theory assessments!
