Interpreter Guidelines

Interpreters may be used for NZTA approved courses under specific guidelines. Students must provide interpreters at their own expense. Interpreters are solely there to translate assessment questions into the student's language, allowing the student to answer. It's important to note that interpreters are not permitted to fill out the assessment on behalf of the student; the student must complete the assessment independently. 

• To translate the assessment information to the student from English to the their language.
• Provide photo ID of themselves to our Course Trainer on the day of the course.
• Fill out the Interpreter declaration form
• They can be a qualified translator, work mate or family member.
• They CANNOT fill out the assessment on the student’s behalf.
• They CANNOT help the student answer any questions.
• They CANNOT be another student/course participant.

Reader Writer use

If the student cannot write the answers in English, a reader writer can be used that is not the same person who is translating.  The Assessor can also be the reader/writer if it is convenient, otherwise, the student will have to pay for another TR team member to be the reader/writer.

When using a reader/writer, our TR Driver Training reader/writer guidelines must be followed.
