Communication is the key word in the languages sector, whether it’s written, oral or visual. Studying a language will not only provide you with knowledge and skills in the language itself, but also an insight into the values, attitudes and customs of other cultural groups. Language qualifications at TAFE SA aim to provide practical, vocationally oriented and culturally appropriate skills that will enable you to communicate effectively in written and oral forms. Many students learn a language in conjunction with another course or employment. People who are fluent in more than one language can look towards an exciting career in interpreting and translating. Opportunities exist for freelance interpreting work in a variety of areas both at the community level and in the business and entertainment sectors. Translators work in a wide range of fields at both local and international level. Opportunities also exist for casual employment with interpreting and translating agencies.
Accredited Training - Languages, Interpreters and Translators
Courses which are accredited meet the national standards as set down by the National Training Framework (NTF), the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and National quality assurance requirements such as the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF). The courses are recognised throughout Australia and once you have finished your studies, by completing the relevant core and elective subjects, your efforts are recognised by achieving a qualification and receiving a formal parchment. Assessment is often conducted in real or simulated work places which measure your ability to perform competently in job focused outcomes.
