The Certification System's Design:

The development of the NAATI Certification System involved extensive research and consultations to identify the knowledge, skills, and attributes essential for success in the translation and interpretation roles. This comprehensive approach ensures that certified professionals are equipped to deliver high-quality language services.

1. Complete Formal Training and Meet Prerequisite Requirements

Before applying for NAATI certification, you must undergo formal training in interpreting or translation. Additionally, you need to satisfy prerequisites, which include demonstrating proficiency in English, ethical competence, and intercultural competency. These requirements differ based on the credential you are pursuing. Visit the NAATI website for more information and a full list of NAATI Endorsed Qualifications and courses: https://www.naati.com.au/certification/prerequisites-training/

2. Pass a Certification Test with NAATI or Demonstrate Work Practice (for Recognised Practising Credentials)

The certification process involves either passing a certification test conducted by NAATI or demonstrating your work practice, depending on the specific credential you are aiming for.

3. Recertify Every Three Years

All NAATI credentials have a three-year validity. To maintain your certification beyond this period, you must undergo recertification by demonstrating that you are actively maintaining your language skills and work practice through continuous professional development. This process assures the community that only active professionals who meet NAATI’s standards hold NAATI credentials.
