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.

Introduction to Sight Translation

Rated 5 out of 5

$0.00

Sight Translation (ST) is an oral translation of a written text (Gile, 2000). Interpreters working at all levels (RPI, CPI, CI) may be asked to sight translate various documents during their interpreting assignments. This online module aims to provide interpreters with an understanding of the ST process and the challenges involved in producing a good sight translation. We will discuss the use of ST in community interpreting settings, including legal, health, education, and welfare. The ST module also aims to assist interpreters in developing skills for producing a sight translation that is faithful to the original and easy for the listener to follow in the target language. We will provide interpreters with ample opportunity to practise sight translation through exercises involving typical texts.

Examples of translations and suggested revisions will be provided in Arabic, Chinese, English and Spanish. Participants with other working languages will be encouraged to search the internet for examples of translations in their languages that might require revision.

Translating Culturally Sensitive Texts – Introduction to Community Translation

Rated 5 out of 5

$0.00

This course will provide a theoretical introduction to intercultural mediation in (community) translation, followed by a discussion of different scenarios and contents that might be culturally sensitive to translate in a multilingual society. Case studies will range from unimportant in-text references or examples, which can easily be substituted/adapted to cater for the new readership, to entire texts that address culturally sensitive issues (e.g. LGBT rights, sexual abuse, domestic violence, religious freedom, strong language in political discourse, etc.). Naturally, the topic of this course will require further discussion of the translator’s professional ethics, role, ideology, and (professional, cultural and social) identity.

Community Translation: Essential Regulatory Texts Guide

Translating Regulatory Texts – Introduction to Community Translation

Rated 5 out of 5

$0.00

This engaging course will focus on the translation of 'regulatory texts' – documents written from an institutional perspective to regulate rights, services, and relationships between public services and citizens or residents. Unlike specialized legal texts, contracts, or agreements, this course will concentrate on legislative or institutional texts intended for the general public, such as those related to elections, welfare benefits, and school governance structures. Participants will delve into the nature of these texts, exploring the concept of institutional translation and “government by translation” (Koskinen, 2014). The course will also include a brief discussion on the ethics of translating these types of texts. While the translations covered in the "Translating Public Messaging – Introduction to Community Translation" course are clearly communicative and reader-oriented, those in this course may cater more to the official voice and power structures. This raises important questions for community translators about their roles and loyalties. As communication mediators, community translators often face a loyalty paradox where serving one party faithfully may impact the trust of other parties (Taibi and Ozolins, 2016). This short course aims to equip translators with the skills and knowledge to navigate these complexities, ensuring effective and ethical translation practices.

We will also discuss the benefits of building your own glossaries and explore the process of compiling a comprehensive glossary.

What our students say

I am so privileged to work with NEXPD because not only is it a pathway to be a bridge between the language barriers, but also because of the insightful and interactive webinars and trainings it provides for its interpreters. The training provided has enabled me to learn at least 1 or 2 new traits every time. I am really grateful as it sharpens my knowledge about the industry, for the industry and for my own growth, while satisfying all the parties involved in interpreting.
S. P.Victoria, AU
The lecturers engaged for the webinars are all professionals with great experience in their field, we can grab and use their experience in our daily working life as interpreters. It is nice to know that we are not alone, that we have colleagues having similar experiences than us and use their experience as well to overcome certain issues that could arise in our field of work. Good job NEXPD Team!
M. D.Queensland, AU
I was fortunate enough during the rough times of the pandemic, to be able to participate and attend beneficial PD training events that was arranged by NEXPD remotely. These events were catered for the needs of the interpreters, upbringing their professional skills and to be familiar with new technology methods and platforms. I personally gained comprehensive professional skills to enhance my work ethics, know my duties/rights and how to navigate with the remote assignments (Video conference).
N. S.Victoria, AU
NEXPD attaches great importance to the provision of PD activities for its panel of interpreters and translators. I have found the webinars and podcast to be very relevant and useful. These PD activities cover a broad spectrum of topics and issues; and suit practitioners from different cultural backgrounds with different levels of skills and practising in different fields.
C. C.Victoria, AU
All PD sessions offered by NEXPD have been informative and educational. I recommend them for both beginner and advanced Interpreters and Translators. Thank you, All Grads Team!
