Language Professionals such as Translators, Interpreters, or Linguists in Australia and New Zealand are typically required or encouraged to take a minimum amount of Professional Development hours to maintain their professional designations and skills. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted as professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.
Translators and interpreters credentialed by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) are required to complete 120 Professional Development (PD) points during each three-year recertification period. This requirement applies to all certified categories, including translators, interpreters, and specialist interpreters.
The 120 PD points must include a minimum of 30 points in each of the following three compulsory categories:
Examples of acceptable PD activities include:
Practitioners must maintain PD and work practice logbooks via the NAATI Online portal and submit these as part of their recertification application. Documentation must clearly demonstrate activities undertaken, point values, and how minimum requirements were met.
Recertification Process:
Audit: NAATI conducts random audits of 5–10% of applications. If selected, practitioners must provide additional supporting documentation for PD activities claimed.
