Become a NAATI
role-player
Some of NAATI’s interpreting tests are delivered by live role-play. We recruit role-players who are native speakers of their language, and who love acting, to play the role of someone who needs interpreting services during a test.
During an interpreting test, two role-players will engage in a conversation based on prompts provided by NAATI while a test candidate interprets for them.
We generally recruit role-players in NSW, Qld, Vic and WA as needed to meet testing demand. Role-players are employed on a casual basis.
Expression of interest
Become a NAATI examiner
NAATI employs examiners to assist with the setting and marking of our tests.
NAATI Examiners who set and mark certification tests are certified interpreters and translators with tertiary qualifications.
Examiners have extensive professional experience as a translator or interpreter, perfect English language skills and high professional and ethical standards.
