International wildfire program participants at the EMTRAC training base

EMTRAC

Training without the language barrier

Australian wildfire training and education delivered to international organisations, fire agencies and participants.

EMTRAC programs can incorporate advanced multilingual support for international participants, including translated learning material, eLearning and technology-assisted real-time voice and text translation.

This enables participants speaking different languages to engage with instructors and learning content within the same program, while receiving information in their nominated language. Program inclusions, translation coverage and delivery arrangements are confirmed for each cohort.

A program can combine

  • Classroom learning
  • Equipment familiarisation
  • Field training
  • Practical exercises
  • Scenarios
  • Assessment
  • Facilitated debriefs

Multilingual delivery

How the language support works

  • Real-time audio translation

    Instructors and participants can work in the same session while each receives information in their nominated language.

  • Voice-to-text translation

    Spoken instruction can be carried as translated text alongside the delivery.

  • Translated presentation material

    Classroom and eLearning material can be prepared in the languages of the cohort.

  • Field deployment of translation technology

    Translation support can move out of the classroom and into the field exercise with the crew.
