- Complete an Application for Accreditation by Testing form. All documents required to be submitted with the application are listed on the application form.
This application form will enrol you for the next NAATI Annual testing Program and will give you three opportunities to sit for each test requested. To avoid a ‘Late Application Fee’ candidates must post their application form before the deadline. (This is stated in the information at the front of the Application for Accreditation by Testing)
- Send your application form and documents together with the application fee and testing fee specified on the form to:
NAATI
PO Box 223
Deakin West ACT 2600
AUSTRALIA
- If your language is included in the current Annual Program, you will receive an invitation in September to sit for the translation test (if you have requested one) and in January, to sit for an interpreting test (if you have requested one).
- If you wish to accept the invitation to sit for the test, return the Test Reply form and test fee by the specified date to the NAATI office where you wish to sit the test.
If you decide not to sit the test, you must notify NAATI Canberra by returning the Test Reply Form indicating you have declined the invitation. This will preserve your opportunity to sit future tests.
- After returning your Test Reply From and test fee to the NAATI office in the state you have specified to sit the test in, NAATI will send you confirmation of your test details in writing. This may not be done until 3 weeks before the test date.
- Sit the NAATI test
- After your test, your paper/tape will be forwarded to the NAATI examiners for marking. A result can be expected within twelve weeks of sitting the test. All tests are marked by at least two examiners who may reside in different states. This, together with the large volume of tests at this time, is why it may take up to twelve weeks to receive a result.
As soon as NAATI receives the results form the examiners, the results will be posted to you. If you pass, you will be accredited as an interpreter or translator in the language and at the level at which you were tested; if not, you will be automatically be invited to sit a test the next time your language and level are tested within the Annual Program. You may also sit another Special On-demand Test at any time. Each time you sit a NAATI test you will be required to pay the appropriate testing fee.
