This unit applies to all industry contexts and individuals working at many different levels of responsibility. This could include frontline, supervisory or management personnel. This unit may be customised for training delivery and assessment of proficiency in any language. This unit does not prepare individuals for the role of a translator or interpreter. No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
