The theoretical model underpinning the structure of this qualification is based on a multimodal understanding of the translation process, which is defined as either āinterlingualā (across languages) or āintralingualā (within the same language), and as either āintermodalā (across modalities) or āintramodalā (within the same modality)
This qualification is designed to give the candidate the flexibility to specialise in 1 or more of the 4 areas of practice covered by this qualification.
The learning objectives and assessment criteria that make up this qualification are based on the National Occupational Standards for interpreting (CFAINT) and translation ( CFAPTra) (Instructus 2017).
The qualification is in 2 parts. In order to complete this qualification, candidates must complete Part 1 and at least one stream in Part 2.

Candidates will demonstrate knowledge and skills against the assessment criteria by undertaking assessments relating Part 1 and Part 2 (relevant to their chosen stream).
