Highly recommend AusiLife Education for NAATI preparation. I recently completed the course and successfully passed my exam with 71/90. The support, clear teaching, and practice sessions were extremely helpful throughout my preparation journey. My lecturer was very supportive, flexible, and always encouraging. The learning materials provided helped me a lot in understanding the exam question formats and building confidence before the exam. One thing I really appreciated was that they offer different class packages and session formats, so you can choose according to your preference and English level. The coach also gives individual attention to students, which made the learning experience even better. Truly grateful for the guidance and support!

NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is the national standards and certifying body for translators and interpreters in Australia. It provides certification to individuals who demonstrate the skills required to work in community language roles, and it plays a key role in maintaining high standards in the language services sector.

The NAATI CCL (Credentialed Community Language) test assesses a candidate’s ability to interpret spoken conversations between an English speaker and a speaker of a LOTE (Language Other Than English). Successful completion of this test allows candidates to claim 5 bonus points towards their skilled migration application.

The CCL test is ideal for bilingual individuals who are applying for Australian permanent residency under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program and wish to gain extra points for their language skills.
