I. Professional introduction
Translation is more demanding than business or media, especially language, which is not suitable for some students with relatively weak English. Therefore, students who enter this major generally have good language talent. The demand for English in the Australian job market is increasing day by day, so having a good English level is the biggest weight for employment. Australian translators must be certified by NAATI before they can take up their posts. However, students don't have to worry. As long as the courses enrolled by colleges and universities are approved by Australian universities and NAATI, students don't need to be certified.
