Starting an AITSL teacher assessment from Phuket — which documents come first?

This question is specifically about “Starting an AITSL teacher assessment from Phuket”, so it separates what is specific to this file from the standard certification chain. Before starting, ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The terms that frame this page are Starting · AITSL · teacher · assessment. The specifics here are location: Phuket, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. Record the reference number of each certification layer; it is the fastest way to trace status. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. A Thai-issued academic document used by a foreign body normally follows the same order: obtain the official document from the issuing institution, translate it in full including every seal and signature, then have the translation certified by the Legalisation Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and where the receiving body requires it, by that country's embassy or consulate afterwards. Thailand is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued on Thai documents. AITSL assesses teaching qualifications for Australian migration purposes. The file covers the qualification, the teaching licence, evidence of supervised teaching practice and employment evidence; Thai documents need certified translation in the format the authority sets. Non-English documents lodged with Australian government bodies or assessing authorities must be translated by a NAATI-certified translator, with the stamp, practitioner number and certification expiry shown on the translation. Check that the stamp is still valid on the lodgement date. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving evaluation body sets, so every file is quoted before work starts.
