NAATI
APPROVED AUSTRALIAN COURSES
NAATI’s primary purpose is to strengthen inclusion and participation in Australian society by assisting in meeting the nation’s diverse and changing communication needs and expectations through:
-
setting, maintaining and promoting high national standards in translating and interpreting, and
-
implementing a national quality-assurance system for credentialing practitioners who meet those standards.
NAATI approval of the courses run by institutions in translation and interpreting is a critical part of NAATI’s national quality assurance system.
Where a course at an educational institution holds NAATI approval, students who complete the qualification at the standard required by NAATI may apply for accreditation from NAATI without further testing.

NAATI’s approval of a course includes approval for it to be completed in only a specified group of languages. Prospective students should note that educational institutions may not offer courses in all of the NAATI-approved languages at any one time (i.e. variations in student demand for particular languages will result in courses not being run in all approved languages every year).

Details of individual programs and the approved languages an institution intends to run should be confirmed directly with the educational institution, not with NAATI. The links listed in the NAATI Approved Courses document have been provided by the institutions to assist prospective students to gain further information. If a link does not work, please do an internet-based search for the institution and course you are interested in.
