About this course

The Graduate Certificate in Arts in Japanese Interpreting is a one year part-time program offering a solid grounding in consecutive interpreting to students wishing to specialise in liaison interpreting, rather than conference interpreting or translation.

You'll work in both directions - Japanese to English and English to Japanese. All materials covered in interpreting class are authentic and cover a range of subjects likely to arise in a real liaison interpreting setting.

This program is one of just two in Australia to be listed on the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC) Schools and Programmes Directory, which only features programs that meet its training criteria.

As a student, you'll have access to one of the top facilities in Australia, completely refurbished in 2019, with the same simultaneous interpreting equipment used in the UN and other major European organisations.
