An important update

From 2 November 2026,

the majority of our existing on-demand professional development courses will become free to access for interpreters, translators and other language professionals.

NEXPD Training official logo

Professional development, made more accessible.

NEXPD was created to make professional development, industry knowledge and practical learning more accessible to the language-services profession. We believe we can make an even greater contribution by removing the cost barrier from much of our existing course library.

Under the new model, language professionals will be able to create an account, enrol in most NEXPD on-demand courses and learn at their own pace without a course fee.

NEXPD will remain a hybrid platform.

Selected specialist courses — including courses offered under licence or through external providers — may continue to attract a fee, as may some live workshops and events.

NEXPD memberships will no longer be offered.

Memberships were originally introduced to provide better value for practitioners undertaking multiple paid courses. With the majority of our existing on-demand courses now moving to free access, the membership model is no longer necessary.

Our existing Free Resources area will also continue,

bringing together free courses, webinars, lectures, guides and other useful resources developed by NEXPD as well as selected resources produced by other organisations.

The change also coincides with the introduction of NAATI's new Recertification Professional Development Catalogue.

Course information will be updated so that practitioners can refer to the current NAATI catalogue when determining the appropriate professional development category and points that may be claimed towards their individual recertification requirements.

Our direction for NEXPD is straightforward:

Make quality professional development and industry knowledge easier to access, while continuing to support specialist learning from experienced practitioners, academics and industry partners.
