NAATI CCL: Credentialed Community Language Points

Specific types of visas require specific documentation, tests, and arrangements. Skyline Consultantz can help you identify exactly what is required from your end and guide you through the process efficiently.

When applying for a point-based visa to study or migrate to Australia, you may choose to undertake a community language skills assessment in your native language. If you successfully pass the test, you can be awarded five points toward your permanent residency (PR) application.

This test is known as the Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test, administered by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters Ltd (NAATI). The CCL test assesses an applicant’s ability to communicate in both English and a Language Other Than English (LOTE) in everyday community settings.

These are officially recognized as Credentialed Community Language Points. Before applying, it is recommended that candidates confirm their eligibility with the Department of Home Affairs or a registered migration agent.

What Does the NAATI CCL Test Include?

The NAATI CCL test is conducted online from Monday to Friday and consists of two dialogue recordings. Each dialogue features a conversation between a native English speaker and a native LOTE speaker. Topics may include:

• Health
• Legal services
• Community services
• Housing
• Finance
• Business
• Consumer affairs

These scenarios reflect everyday situations in Australian society and are designed to evaluate your real-world language skills.

Each test is assessed by a minimum of two certified NAATI examiners.

Tips for Success in the NAATI CCL Test

• Maintain the original tone and style of the dialogue while interpreting. Avoid robotic translations and focus on capturing the nuances.
• Use the correct tense and be careful with singular/plural forms and context-based meanings.
• Do not skip any part of the dialogue. Take notes if necessary to ensure complete and accurate interpretation.
