Program Schedule
View our program schedule. Our program schedule is published annually and updated subject to demand. If you would like something that is not on our program schedule or if you would like to participate in a program that has passed, please contact us.
Reports
Once a program is complete, participants will receive first a Z-score summary report and then a proficiency testing report with technical commentary.
Proficiency Testing Reports provide anonymised participant results, program assessment and technical commentary. Participants can see how they performed compared to their industry peers and read technical commentary regarding the program cohort and the cohort’s performance.
Reports are publicly available on our website.
Once testing is completed, and before receiving the full participant report, participants will receive an interim Z-score summary report so that they can assess their immediate performance before the full technical commentary is complete.
As per our final reports, our Z-score summary reports are anonymised and are publicly available on our website.
Participants may forward their Z-score summary report to NATA as interim proof of meeting standard requirements, until such time as the full report becomes available.
