What is a NAATI-approved course?
Australian educational institutions in the Vocational Education Training (VET) and Higher Education (HE) sectors can make an application to NAATI for approval of their translating and/or interpreting courses. If the application meets NAATI's requirements, the course (for example Advanced Diploma of Interpreting) and the languages in which the course(s) can be run will be approved by NAATI.
Benefits of NAATI-approved courses
The advantage of a NAATI-approved course is that students who complete the course at the standard required by NAATI are eligible to apply for NAATI accreditation without further requirements e.g. taking a NAATI test. The award of the accreditation is subject to formal confirmation of the candidates' achievements by the educational institution and recommendation of accreditation to NAATI
How do I gain accreditation through an approved course?
Recommendations by approved institutions are made directly to NAATI. Individuals who have been recommended need to complete and submit an application. The 'Application for Accreditation by Australian Approved Course' (Form B) can be downloaded from the NAATI website. NAATI-approved institutions will make it clear to students whether they are being recommended for NAATI accreditation. Those recommended for NAATI accreditation should normally submit an application to NAATI for accreditation not more than three years after their date of completion. NAATI will consider applications for accreditation where more than three years have passed since the date of completion. The applicant must be able to provide evidence of sufficient regular and continuous work experience in the field of translating and/or interpreting. Student who complete a NAATI approved qualification will be offered the opportunity to receive recommendation to NAATI for accreditation at a level that is relevant to the skills outcome of the qualification completed.
