David Coltman, Chief Executive of TAFE SA, joins us to discuss this and much more in our latest podcast episode on change resilience.

In this episode of the podcast Claire explains why Skills Ministers are embarking on reforms to VET qualifications, where the process is up to, and what the changes are likely to mean for RTOs.

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/

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 3:-The number of years a practitioner in the workplace is not recognized in certification. 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/

Danielle Driscoll has been the pivotal driver behind TAFESA's delivery of the LivingWorks ASIST, Suicide First Aid training. Since being trained as a trainer of Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training in May 2015, Danielle has delivered 15 Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training sessions. This equates to over 300 people with their Suicide First Aid Certificate, 200 of those in 2016 alone. The ripple effect of the people trained shows that on average 35 lives per trained person will be prevented from being affected by suicide. There is upwards of 9,000 people living suicide safer lives due to Danielle's skills. She is strongly advocating within TAFE SA to provide ASIST training to all staff, improving their ability to support their students and communities. She believes education is the ideal space to nurture intervention and prevention skills for young people and their families and their workers. Danielle also works with people outside of her paid role within TAFESA to ensure the message of suicide prevention is top of mind in communities and that everyday families act safely. Danielle insisted on the inclusion of suicide prevention skills in the TAFE SA qualifications including youth work, juvenile justice, mental health, sport and recreation and community services. She has streamlined ASIST and trauma informed intervention training so that students who are in training to be new and emerging workers in frontline services can be better prepared for the work roles with specialised suicide skills training. She has done this across TAFE campuses across SA. Danielle's perspective is to have all communities feeling confident and provided with culturally sensitive training to prevent suicides. She has been mentored by and works closely with human rights advocate and traditional elder Mr Tauto Sansbury. She has a background in health and through this she has experience working with wider Adelaide Aboriginal community to ensure the utmost respect and cultural competence is demonstrated in all delivery. She modifies and adapts training for people from all walks of life to feel empowered to intervene. She has worked with young people interfacing with the juvenile justice system for 25 years and talking to them and their families about suicide and its prevention. Danielle feels very strongly that young people in the juvenile justice and child protection system are specifically vulnerable and in crisis and in particular the children of traditional communities. Preparing good workers to work with children and young people is an absolute priority for her. Danielle's firm belief in access to education and suicide prevention drives her passion for delivery of the training and integrates the training into her own community, being a pillar of strength to the young people around her to prevent suicide from occurring within her own family. One referee mentioned that they had personally witnessed Danielle in over 25 interventions since 2014. In her career over 25 years working with young people at risk, that number rises to hundreds. #ManyVoicesOneGoal #suicideprevention

In fact, whether you turn to the left, or turn to the right, the last thing we are likely to bring to your mind is fa, fa, fa, fa ,fa, fa, fa, fa, fashion. And yet, even us two specimens of guys with minds elsewhere, have been influenced by the fashion industry. So tonight, at the beginning of the Adelaide Fashion Festival 2016, we have gathered some local designers to help us conceptualise their industry, interpret the trends, and hopefully not trip over ourselves on this catwalk of conversation. Dave Court is the designer behind Fools and Trolls AND the retailer behind Created Range, Rachelle Boyle is event manager of Fashion's Future, a TAFE SA student showcase and Jana Fuss is one of the fashion coordinators of Fashion's Future graduate of TAFE. We discuss Can fashion ever be functional? What's it like running a fashion label? The psychology of fashion and trends Does fashion arise from an evolutionary need to restrict competition in the search for a "mate" Also appearing in the Adelaide Fashion Festival Collection episode In the musical pilgrimage, we choose the only fashion vehicle of note, The Black Limousine The SA Drink Of The Week is ...
