About the NAATI CCL Mandarin test
The Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test assesses your ability to interpret spoken dialogue between English and Mandarin — the largest CCL cohort in Australia. It consists of two dialogues of around 300 words each, each split into segments of up to 35 words that you interpret one at a time. To pass you need at least 29 marks out of 45 across both dialogues.
Passing the Mandarin CCL test earns 5 bonus points toward the points-tested skilled migration visas (subclasses 189, 190 and 491) — often the difference that gets an application over the line.
Our platform lets you practise Mandarin CCL dialogues across the exact domains you will face on exam day: health and medical, legal, employment, housing, education, banking and finance, immigration, and community and social services.
