He's touting the benefits of ongoing professional development, networking organizations and global partnerships to innovate and integrate transformational change.Learn about Mainline's latest projects in Ireland as well as exciting ventures based in Sweden, the UK and other countries at the forefront of innovation. Jamie also shares thoughts about the role of project management in large, complicated infrastructure schemes (such as the one Mainline has undertaken at Dublin Airport) as well as the hurdles engineering teams inevitably face in the field. The work can be challenging and the pace of change swift, but Jamie sees renewables as a huge opportunity for engineers to be part of the solution to environmental sustainability. “If we want to go to the extreme,” he says, “engineers will save the world, one wind turbine at a time!”TOPICS WE DISCUSSED INCLUDEThe path less travelled: How Jamie's early experience working in newly post-apartheid South Africa thrust him into positions of responsibility and a steep learning curve.Why Mainline identified renewables early on as a sector that offered tremendous upside growth and a positive way to contribute.Colourful challenges faced on a massive drainage project in Cork that involved large-scale upgrades to water and sewer infrastructure and engineering solutions to accommodate multiple site challenges.Encounters on projects such as an enormous 73-turbine wind farm – the materials, the logistics, weather impacts, design, technical, installation and other specialized expertise required.Growth in solar panels, green hydrogen production and other cutting-edge technologies in Ireland,  whose viability and accessibility are growing “by leaps and bounds” here.The complex cabling and electrical infrastructure that Mainline has engineered for the North Runway project at Dublin Airport – and other large public efforts.Why project management skills, a CDP credential and the constant professional development fostered at Engineers Ireland are critical components of the successful engineer's tool kit.Jamie shares his networking strategy, which starts with looking for ways to bring value to others and a willingness to be vulnerable, reach out and ask for help. GUEST DETAILSAs Chief Executive Officer, Jamie has overseen the growth of Mainline into a key industry provider in the renewable energy and engineering sectors. Jamie's focus is on delivering quality projects that matter, via the safest means, in support of Mainline customers across various geographies.

Some places say that the registration email is proof, others send an email like "thank you for attending XYZ" and some send certificates of attendance. Why the inconsistencies between places for proof of PD? Due to illness have not been able to complete my professional development points but have been working online and need the work practice criteria, what do I need to do?Please ask NAATI when our credentials will be recognised by ATA in the United States, by ITI in the United Kingdom, and by other authorities around the world? It's time for our credentials to be internationalised, especially considering the global nature of our profession.Am I able to get an extension for PD criteria for recertification?Your interest and support is greatly appreciated and we hope you will join us for our events throughout 2021 and onwards.Don't forget to visit our training website for more information and PD opportunities: https://www.conversations-interpretingandtranslating.com.au/w/

Ask NAATI July 2021, features Certification Policy and Development Manager, Aurelie Sheehan and National Operations Manager, Michael Nemarich on the panel.List of Questions for Part 2:I am not an interpreter yet, I have family members who are on workers compensation and often require an interpreter. The problem is the interpreter does not know the terminology for workers compensation. Often my family members become frustrated when dealing with interpreters.  I know this is not recommended but there is really no other option, often I have to be the interpreter and waste my time. The LOTE speaker becomes frustrated. This isn't a one-off thing either it's everywhere when interpreters are used on the phone with insurance companies, WIRO, in person with rehab providers, at independent appointments etc. I have seen this happen over 99 per cent of the time. Just the other day a family member called WIRO with an interpreter, they became frustrated and the interpreter was difficult. I called back two days later and funny enough stumbled on the same person who the family member spoke to and she told me that even though she did not speak the language she could feel that the interpreting was going nowhere. The interpreter was yelling and refusing to interpret. This is not acceptable and needs to be fixed ASAP. ThanksAfter a person passes their NAATI exam, they are not really required to sit any other test unless they want a higher accreditation. They must show PD in their language but the is pretty much it. I have spent years observing interpreters for various family members. I have seen interpreters omit large chunks of information, not interpret everything, interpreting in the third person. I once confronted an interpreter because he omitted large chunks of information. I told the family member that the interpreter missed large chunks of information. The interpreter had the audacity to get angry at me because I caught him not doing his job. Another interpreter did not interpret the risks of an angiogram, Lucky I had interpreted the risks prior to my family member. If I am not present at these important appointments for family members, how do I know if the interpreter is doing their job properly? There seems to be a double standard for interpreters and those who want to be interpreters.  Your interest and support is greatly appreciated and we hope you will join us for our events throughout 2021 and onwards.Don't forget to visit our training website for more information and PD opportunities: https://www.conversations-interpretingandtranslating.com.au/w/

Ask NAATI July 2021, features Certification Policy and Development Manager, Aurelie Sheehan and National Operations Manager, Michael Nemarich on the panel.List of Questions for Part 3:I watched the 4-part podcast – All Graduates Conversations: Interpreting and Translating: Ask NAATI, March 2021. It is very likely this will be glossed over, or I will receive some vague answer, that will not actually be answering this. Michael Nemarich said something along the lines of ‘'people who do skills set courses have a higher failure rate.'' So other than the skills set course being a prerequisite to be completed before the exam. What other purpose does this course have?  So NAATI can fail people before the exam?How can someone who cannot find any courses in their language that are NAATI endorsed or any prep courses that can help them to become an interpreter, translator, or both? According to Mr Nemarich, they are already disadvantage and likely to fail. I have done my skills set course and sat for my NAATI test and failed. I have applied for the next available test next year. I have put my name down on a waiting list/expression of interest for a Diploma of Interpreting in Greek with both RMIT and TAFE NSW. I will need to wait to see if the demand is there. Seems like I must fork out more money to increase my chances. It's not like the exam is cheap either. When I jumped on the NAATI website for endorsed qualifications, I get a list of RMIT courses but when someone does not have a diploma or a degree, the slim choices become even slimmer. RMIT has Graduate, advanced graduate, master courses. I only have an undergraduate certificate from a university. NAATI does not help to give out learning materials (I asked and got nothing), when asked on ASK NAATI back in March 2021 how to study, the answer was very vague. Apart from using the material that I got in my skills set course, and my glossaries. I really do not where else to do or turn to increase my chances of passing the test. I even asked RMIT for study materials and their answer was, apply for a course which is $24000. I even found a prep course for Greek on the website it was via TAFE SA. I enquired with TAFE SA and was told that the course no longer exists. I even sent them a snapshot of the NAATI website. Even the website isn't updated. The only learning materials I have is the two workbooks from RMIT and TAFE SA, which I had access to during my RMIT skills set course. In addition, participate in as many PD, podcasts, and short courses as possible with All Graduates, NAATI, AUSIT etc. Please explain how someone is meant to pass the test with only a Skills Set qualification which is the minimum requirement? You guys go on and on about practice, practice, practice but how and with what? I cannot find learning materials, online, with AUSIT, NAATI, RMIT etc or courses to further my skills. Or is NAATI deliberately failing people who only do the skills set and diploma courses? I cannot be the only person who is in this situation. Is NAATI failing the people who only done the skills set course as a way for NAATI and educational institutions to make easy money? The only reason I bring up money is several times during the 4-part, two-hour podcast Mr Nemarich mentions money. Specifically goes into detail how NAATI loses money when hosting CPI exams etc. These comments made by Mr Nemarich does not inspire any confidence at all. I hope I will get a proper answer and not a vague response. I noticed on the CPI test for Greek is set for 14th April 2023 (Sunday, 16 April Orthodox Easter 2023). That is the date of Orthodox Good Friday. Very disrespectful from NAATI. You think of a multicultural place like NAATI would have been aware of this. https://www.conversations-interpretingandtranslating.com.au/w/AU/

For, certified and recognised practising translators.-How many hours of work we need to do in the 3 year period?-Sometimes I have a problem logging on even when all the details are correct?-NAATI has rejected my Recognised Practicing Interpreter application twice; my Evidence of English proficiency test was dated 2018 December with a Speaking score of 5.5 which is now expired. The skillset course with government subsidies is not available in NSW. I have work experience and attend many PD events. Is it possible for NAATI to give special consideration to someone like me, who is of mature age, who cannot re-sit IELTS? Is it possible to review my application? -I'm currently taking a 2-year masters course in interpreting and translation at Monash Uni. I have completed 75% of my course. Why am I not eligible to sit for the NAATI test while a friend of mine studying a translation course at Melbourne RMIT could sit for the test with 50% completion of the course?-How do I get information about the latest updates for the tests?-I would be very happy if NAATI answer this query regarding my overdue application test for Certified Interpreter. In fact, since I am eligible for the test. I did apply to upgrade my certification in Feb 2020. Unfortunately, my application was put on hold for an indefinite time. So, my question is why NAATI does not consider the keen and competent interpreters and translators who wish to enhance their level of certification?Your interest and support is greatly appreciated and we hope you will join us for our events throughout 2021 and onwards.Don't forget to visit our training website for more information and PD opportunities: https://www.conversations-interpretingandtranslating.com.au/w/

For example, after 20 years at least one step up is fair.-When will you change the name for the "Certified PROVISIONAL Interpreter" to "Paraprofessional" Interpreter as it used to be? Provisional is the most misleading and unsuitable denomination and it affects how we are perceived as interpreters. There is nothing "provisional" about me being an interpreter; have been doing it for over 25 years. The change in the name needs to be ASAP. -When will you lower your Re-certification fees? They were lowered for COVID. Please keep them at $99 or lower. Not higher. Interpreters are not very well paid. For as long as this is the case, please keep them as low as possible. Much appreciated. -Hi, any indication of when you may have testing for advanced translator level for Persian - English in the future? The old system used to have it and I am wondering if the new system will too. Cheers!-If a person had done Diploma of Interpreting (certified) in the year 2015 & has been working as an Interpreter since the year 2012, could s/he sit for NAATI directly, instead of doing the competency tests. This is for the Tamil language.-We know leaving the Interpreter for Interpreting Assignment and a patient in a closed room with a psychiatrist on Video link is against HEALTH AND SAFETY rules, unacceptable and risky.  but this is happening in some clinics. What you will do about it?-In the next few months, I will be sitting for the NAATI CPI test. I have looked high and low for Greek prep courses and found absolutely nothing. So how does one prepare to study for the NAATI test? Do I concentrate on glossaries or dialogues? I have requested guidance from NAATI, RMIT, TAFE SA and AUSIT and have hit a brick wall. How would you best utilize the 15 minutes prep time before each part of the test?-What is the failure rate of participants in NAATI testing? How many fail their first go? Second, go?Your interest and support is greatly appreciated and we hope you will join us for our events throughout 2021 and onwards.Don't forget to visit our training website for more information and PD opportunities: https://www.conversations-interpretingandtranslating.com.au/w/

NAATI and All Graduates have collaborated in an initiative that aims to provide information to practitioners directly from a NAATI representative. Every quarter, a panel of NAATI managers will answer questions that Interpreters and Translators have sent through using an online form. Questions will be picked at random and directed at the panel by Fatih at the end of each quarter.Guest Bio: Ask NAATI March 2021, features Certification Policy and Development Manager, Aurelie Sheehan and National Operations Manager, Michael Nemarich on the panel.List of Questions for Part 4:-As now many organisations accept digital copies of certified translation documents, I found that some migration agencies are illegally using NAATI translator's stamps. Once an agency has received some documents translated by a translator, they would know what the stamp looks like and can keep a copy of it. With lots of document editing software available, it's very easy for an agency to "steal" a NAATI translator's stamp and "paste" it on whatever documents they want, and then send the fake stamped documents to relevant parties. During the whole process, the translator and the document receiver do not know the truth. I have seen many migration agents advertising on their website saying "Free NAATI stamp to put on your documents if required". How does NAATI prevent these kinds of things from happening? How can the translation document receivers know if the stamps on the documents are real or not? How can translators themselves know if their stamps have been misused or not?-Why is there no standard hourly rate for interpreters, every Agency pays different and when is travel allowance payable, how is the distance calculated: is the reference point from the city or distance from the interpreters home?-An Agency is allegedly letting all of their contractor interpreters (of all levels of certification) access and accept the available interpreting jobs at the same time, causing an unfair allocation of jobs, despite they always deny that and claim that interpreters with the highest level of certification get the priority. The fact is all certified interpreters working for this Agency are currently getting much fewer jobs than their provisional certified colleagues. This could be seen simply as their way of business running, but it undermines what NAATI is always promoting, which is every interpreter should aim to further their skills and obtain the next level of certification. Said Agency is prioritising provisional certified interpreters over certified interpreters, thus dis-encouraging provisional certified interpreters from improving themselves. What is NAATI's view on this?-In the current environment, most agencies have shifted to telephone interpreting services thus fewer hours face to face so how could interpreters fulfil the criteria of 200 hours if jobs are scarce! Should NAATI reduce the criteria considering work practices have changed!?Your interest and support is greatly appreciated and we hope you will join us for our events throughout 2021 and onwards.Don't forget to visit our training website for more information and PD opportunities: https://www.conversations-interpretingandtranslating.com.au/w/

Examiners and test designers Don't Have Tertiary Qualifications in interpreting and translation and that's why they made many mistakes in choosing test materials and in examining the test. I and many of us raised the matter to NAATI, it is time for them to change the system and invite fresh, educated people in the panel. Why doesn't NAATI want to replace the uneducated (male-dominated) Persian/Farsi panel with academic and highly educated examiners and test designers? Why someone with no tertiary education in interpreting/translation, someone with only limited knowledge should be a NAATI examiner and test designer?-I am planning to take the Certified Interpreter test soon & do not have many materials to practice by myself. Any comments on this?-Based in New Zealand. Can I train and become certified through NAATI?-Can I apply for the Certified Interpreter exam while I am still studying? I have completed the key interpreting units and would like to sit my exam ASAP.-I took the Interpreting test a couple of times and was unsuccessful. I got my doctorate here in Australia and I have been working as a freelance interpreter for many years. However, I didn't have the NAATI qualifications to pursue my dream of focusing on an Interpreting job. The ways role players did weren't fair because they kept talking which is not true in a real conversation. If we interrupt them so many times, we're seen not capable to do the interpreting job, but if we don't, we only can interpret the overall meaning of the segment. Examiners' members, please put yourself in the situation, if somebody told you 5 or 7 sentences very fast non-stop and you were asked to repeat exactly without errors, can you do that? Another problem was that the markers marked sentence by sentence like the written language test. Can the NAATI examiners' board please make sure to have a fair test and marking for us so more people can get NAATI qualifications? Thank you!-As a recognised interpreter for Kirundi, how can I get a certification?Your interest and support is greatly appreciated and we hope you will join us for our events throughout 2021 and onwards.Don't forget to visit our training website for more information and PD opportunities: https://www.conversations-interpretingandtranslating.com.au/w/
