NAATI Translation — Thai Diploma / Vocational Certificate for Australia
A vocational certificate or diploma is issued by an institution under its own programme. NAATI translation for Australian recipients must identify the actual award and field, not relabel it Certificate III/IV or assign an occupation code. Send the award and requested training records, confirm scope and timing, check the translation and receive the agreed format. Translation timing is assessed from the documents; skills recognition and equivalence are decided separately by the recipient.

Illustrative document preparation; not actual client records.
What should you prepare for this document?
- Send the award with its complete heading and institution-issued level wording.
- Include actual theory, practical or placement-hour records when requested.
- Distinguish award, results and employment records rather than treating them as interchangeable.
What may lead to a request for replacement documents?
- Relabelling the source award as Certificate III/IV without assessment.
- Inferring placement hours from course duration.
- Omitting training or results records requested by the assessor.
These are preparation checks, not universal rejection rules. The recipient determines the evidence required.
What should not be guessed or changed?
A field title does not establish an occupation code or skills-assessment outcome. Do not add undocumented training hours or practice rights.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Thai vocational diploma be translated as Certificate IV?
Do not automatically replace a Thai award title with an Australian level. The translator uses wording that reflects the source and institution. Equivalence is assessed separately against programme details and supporting evidence. If an assessment is requested, check its requirements rather than altering the award name to appear to meet a visa or occupation criterion.
How is the fee assessed?
Send complete readable files and the recipient’s request. Confirm scope, page count, format, payment conditions and quote before work starts.
When can I receive the translation?
Timing depends on the scope and translator availability. Agree the proposed date before work starts; shipping and recipient processing are separate.
PDF or printed translation?
Ask the recipient which format it requires. Agree delivery before work starts. A translated PDF does not itself certify the original copy.
Is acceptance guaranteed?
No. The recipient assesses documents under its own requirements. Verify the translator and language direction in the official NAATI directory; translation does not guarantee a visa or registration outcome.
Which application can use this document?
Follow the actual recipient’s checklist. A document title does not establish that it meets every visa or application requirement.
