Everything you need to know about the NAATI CCL test and CCLingo.
The Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test is a NAATI-administered exam that assesses your ability to interpret spoken dialogue between English and another language. Passing awards 5 bonus points toward most Australian skilled migration visas (subclasses 189, 190, 491, etc.).
We currently support Mandarin, Cantonese, Punjabi, Hindi, Nepali, Vietnamese, Arabic, Korean, Tamil, Persian and Thai — the most in-demand NAATI CCL languages. New languages are added regularly.
Our AI uses the official NAATI marking criteria to evaluate accuracy, key terminology, and register. It's designed as a study tool, not a guarantee of your real exam result. That said, users who consistently score above 70% in practice tend to perform well on the actual exam.
Just a computer or tablet with a microphone and headphones. A quiet environment is recommended, both for accurate speech recognition and to simulate real exam conditions. Mobile recording works, but desktop is preferred.
It varies by individual, but we recommend at least 30 practice dialogues and 3–5 mock exams before sitting. Most successful candidates book 4–6 weeks of regular practice. The study plan feature will guide you based on your exam date.
