NAATI CCL (Credentialed Community Language) Test Preparation

Applying for a point-based visa to study in Australia may involve undertaking a community language skills assessment in your native language. Guide2Success is here to help you determine the required papers, documentation, and tests needed for your application.

The Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test, administered by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters Ltd (NAATI), assesses your language abilities at a community level. Upon passing the test, applicants are awarded five points towards their Permanent Residency (PR) application.

Understanding the NAATI CCL Test

The NAATI CCL is an online test delivered from Monday to Friday. It consists of two dialogue recordings, each featuring a conversation between a native English speaker and a native Language Other Than English (LOTE) speaker. These dialogues cover various topics, representing real-life situations in Australian society.

‍

The test evaluates your ability to understand both languages while communicating in them. A minimum of two examiners will assess your tests individually. Candidates should seek confirmation from the Department of Home Affairs or a migration agent regarding their eligibility at the time of application.

‍

To succeed in the test, follow these guidelines:

1. Account for the style in which the dialogue has been delivered, understanding the nuances and subtleties of the language rather than interpreting it robotically.
2. Stick to the same tense when interpreting the dialogue, paying attention to word clusters, singular and plural forms, etc.
3. Cover the entire dialogue, taking notes of what is said and avoiding any omissions when interpreting from the source to the target language.
