Why do I need my high school certificate translated?
Australian universities, TAFEs, and skills assessment bodies require NAATI certified English translations of overseas secondary school qualifications for admission and assessment. If you're applying for undergraduate study, a TAFE course, or a trades skills assessment, your high school certificate must be translated.
Secondary school documents from every education system
High school qualifications vary enormously across countries — from the French Baccalauréat to the Chinese 高中毕业证, from the Indian Board Examinations to the Vietnamese Bằng tốt nghiệp THPT. Our translators understand each country's secondary education system and accurately translate qualification titles, subject names, and grading systems.
