You should still lodge a recertification application with as much detail as possible about your work practice and professional development if you want to maintain your NAATI credential/s, even if you don’t think you meet the minimum recertification criteria.
Lodging an application will allow NAATI to assess your application and contact you for more information, provide guidance on your application or consider granting some flexibility.
NAATI has the ability to grant you an extension of up to one year on a case-by-case basis (for example, if you were unable to work for extended periods due to health reasons, or for practitioners in low demand languages).
You can also contact us for advice at recertification@naati.com.au and one of the team will respond as soon as possible.
