Professional development for TIS National interpreters

Certification

The Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS National) highly regards certification from the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). TIS National is continually encouraging and recruiting interpreters to provide services in new and emerging languages.

Contact your Interpreter Liaison Officer or visit the NAATI website for guidance about how to obtain or upgrade your NAATI credential.

Scholarships

TIS National is committed to the professionalism of the interpreting industry while recognising the valuable work of its interpreters. Scholarships are being offered for both NAATI certification and professional development short courses for TIS National interpreters. Eligible interpreters will be reimbursed for the cost of their NAATI certification testing fees or the cost of attending selected professional development short courses.
