" This unit should not be included in the skill sets at all. The skill sets are for those already working in the industry and seeking a qualification. They should already have the computer skills and if not, this can be address outside the skill set."

"This should not be included in the skill sets at all. The skill sets are targeted for people who are already working in the T and I industry and seeking a certification. They would not have got to the skill sets if they don't know their career pathway."

"This unit should also be in the skill set, to ensure all candidates have necessary occupational computer skills and to the ability to complete course requirements. If it can be subsidised in a skill set, it removes yet another barrier to entry to the industry and path to a qualification."

"Confirming that for spoken languages, this unit is an absolute requirement. If Auslan candidates have done a similar unit in the Dip Auslan, it should be mapped against this one to determine whether they can claim credit, or they should have a skill set without it for them."

"Clearly the suggested wording is untrue and misleading. The skills in the skill set are not the skills of interpreting, they are generic foundational skills needed by all who may seek to proceed to interpreting competence."

"Suggest amend to: 'This skill set is targeted at individuals who have existing language skills and are seeking to gain the foundational skills necessary to progress to training in language pair specific interpreting transfer'.""
Heather Glass 05.06.2022 10.29AM
"The skill set does NOT provide 'an introduction to the skills required for interpreting between two languages'. The skill set is delivered generically, in English. By definition, the skills required to interpret require two languages; those skills are in language and transfer. Suggest: 'The skill set provides all industry entrants with a common basis for entry to language pair specific transfer training, comprising foundational generic skills and industry knowledge.' A fundamental flaw of the current, unendorsed skill sets is the manner in which they are promoted as preparation[sic] for a NAATI test. It would be highly misleading if that misperception were embedded in the description and target group of this skill set. Indeed, the use of such misleading descriptors may invite legal question."
