ASLITA endorses that Certified Interpreters as a minimum should be engaged for legal and court work, however, we acknowledge the challenges of providing interpreting services in regional and rural areas. As such, this specific session is open to interpreters who have NAATI Certification (CPDI, CPI, CI and CCI).
