Frequently Asked Questions

The NAATI CCL (Credentialled Community Language) test assesses your ability to interpret spoken conversations in two languages: in our case, Indonesian and English. It is administered by NAATI (the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) and is used by the Australian government as part of certain visa and citizenship pathways.

Passing the CCL test earns you 5 points toward your Australian visa application, making it a valuable credential for many Indonesian-Australians.

The real NAATI CCL exam has 9 segments per dialogue. Each segment is scored from 0 to 5, giving a maximum of 45 points per dialogue. The full CCL test consists of two dialogues, so the overall total is 90 points.

The passing mark is 63 out of 90 overall, with a minimum of 29 out of 45 required for each individual dialogue. Marks are deducted for omissions, inaccuracies, incorrect register, or adding information that was not in the original.

The NAATI CCL test is approximately 30 minutes long and is conducted online. It includes a short information session, a microphone test, and two dialogues: one in each direction (English to Indonesian and Indonesian to English). You are allowed to use headphones and a microphone.

The CCL exam focuses on community-level conversations. Topics regularly covered include medical appointments, legal consultations, government services, immigration, housing, employment, banking, mental health, aged care, disability services, education, and family services.

Our platform covers all 12 of these topic areas with up to eleven authentic practice dialogues each, so you can build familiarity with the vocabulary and register expected in each domain.

After you speak your interpretation, it is transcribed in real time and compared against a model answer using an AI language model. The AI scores your response from 0 to 5 based on how accurately you transferred the meaning: taking into account key terms, omissions, and overall completeness.

The score is indicative and intended to guide your practice. For best results, also read the model answer carefully and note any key terms you missed. The AI scoring mirrors the rubric used in the official NAATI CCL exam.

For the best experience, use Google Chrome on a desktop or laptop: it provides the most reliable speech recognition. Any built-in microphone or headset microphone will work. You will be prompted to allow microphone access when you start a practice session.

The platform also works on Safari and Edge, though speech recognition quality may vary. On mobile, Chrome for Android works well; iOS support is limited by browser restrictions.

There are currently 132 practice dialogues covering 12 topics. Each dialogue alternates between English and Indonesian speakers and is scored on the same 0–45 point scale as the real exam. We add new dialogues regularly, so check back if you have already completed them all.

Yes: the platform is fully responsive and works on mobile devices. We recommend using Chrome on Android for the best speech recognition experience. On iPhone and iPad, you can still read model answers and review dialogues, but live speech recognition may be limited depending on your browser.
