NAATI’s Credentialed Community Language test and translation careers: What you need to know

Australia’s points-based immigration system allows applicants to gain additional points through the Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test, conducted by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). However, growing demand has also led to misleading claims and false promises of guaranteed success. In this episode, NAATI’s Community Testing Officer sets the record straight—offering practical advice on how to prepare, where to find trusted resources, and why translation and interpreting services are vital in Australia’s multicultural society.
