Celebrating Our 2025 Graduates: Decypher’s commitment to excellence in interpreting and translation services

We are thrilled to celebrate the graduation of participants from Decypher’s Interpreting Course! This achievement represents more than individual success­­, it reflects Decypher’s ongoing commitment to bridging language gaps and empowering communities across New Zealand through professional, high-quality interpreting and translation services.

For over 25 years, Decypher has been a trusted name in interpreting and translation services. With a team of over 230 professional interpreters and translators covering more than 60 languages, we have supported businesses, government agencies, healthcare providers, and non-profits in delivering inclusive and accessible communication.



 

Why Interpreter Training Matters?

Interpreting is far more than speaking two languages. Professional interpreters must navigate complex conversations, maintain impartiality, and uphold ethical standards in high-stakes environments such as hospitals, courtrooms, and social service settings.

Our training program addresses these challenges head-on. We equip new interpreters with the skills to manage cultural nuances, handle ethical dilemmas, and ensure accuracy in every interaction. This foundation is critical because quality interpreting can make the difference between understanding and misunderstanding in sensitive situations.

 

Inside Decypher’s Training Programme

Our comprehensive interpreting course covers a wide range of topics designed to prepare interpreters for real-world scenarios. Highlights include:

  • Professional vs Bilingual Interpreting: Understanding the difference and why professionalism matters.

  • Code of Ethics & Conduct: Upholding integrity and impartiality in every assignment.

  • Practical Strategies: How to handle interpreting in medical, legal, and social work contexts.

  • Note-Taking Techniques: Improving short-term memory and accuracy.

  • Managing Errors: Strategies for correcting mistakes without compromising trust.

  • Cross-Cultural Communication: Navigating cultural sensitivities and maintaining neutrality.


Graduates also complete practical assessments, including interpreting in medical and legal contexts, and ethical dilemma scenarios to ensure readiness for real-world challenges.
