NAATI Frequently Asked Question

What must be translated for an Engineers Australia assessment?

Direct Answer

Degree, transcript, subject syllabi and employment references — any Thai-language item needs an accredited translation. The CDR itself must be written by the applicant in English.

In-depth Answer

Engineering assessments look at both curriculum content and work experience, so subject syllabi matter as much as the transcript — assessors use them to check knowledge coverage against the criteria.

In Thailand these are usually in Thai and dense with technical terms, so the translation belongs with an engineering-literate translator working from a consistent glossary.

The Competency Demonstration Report, by contrast, is analytical writing the applicant must produce in English themselves.

Having someone else write it, or translating a Thai draft wholesale, breaches integrity rules and can lead to permanent rejection.

The appropriate service is translating the supporting documents and, at most, light language proofing of the applicant's own CDR.
