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.

Mastering Your Working Languages – Introduction to Community Translation

Rated 5 out of 5

$0.00

This short course aims to alert translators to the specificities and problem areas associated with specific community languages in terms of structure, textual conventions and sociolinguistic factors. In addition to problem areas in the English language (e.g., polysemy, pre-modification, relative clauses), examples will be provided in Arabic and Spanish (the facilitator’s working languages in addition to English). Differences between Chinese and English, especially in relation to information structure, will also be used to illustrate language issues that might impact on the quality of translations. Participants with other working languages will be encouraged to provide and discuss examples of structural, lexical and textual differences between those languages.

Translating Public Messaging – Community Translation Services

Translating Public Messaging – Introduction to Community Translation

Rated 5 out of 5

$0.00

This short course will be the first one to deal with the practicalities of how community translators are expected to deal with different text types. Rather than classify texts into informative, expressive or operative only (Reiss, 2000), it will draw a distinction between two broad categories of ‘community texts’: ‘public messaging’ texts, which are usually informative and/or operative texts aiming to raise awareness, and ‘regulatory texts’, whose aim is to regulate rights, eligibility, services, relationships and so on.  This will describe the main features of public messaging, especially in the healthcare sector, and provide step-by-step guidance to future community translators in relation to the identification of such texts, their function(s) within institutional communication strategies, appropriate translation strategies for them, and the translator’s communication and negotiation with other stakeholders to ensure translation transparency and appropriateness.

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.
