All NAATI tests are marked by at least two (2) examiners and sometimes by three (3) examiners, who adhere to standard marking guidelines prescribed by NAATI. A candidate’s final mark will be calculated based on an average of the marks given by all of the examiners. Any enquiries regarding the marking of tests should be directed to the Accreditation Manager in the Canberra office.
