This is to inform everyone that, since 1st January 2018, NAATI has introduced a new test called Credentialed Community Language (CCL) Testing for the purpose of claiming extra 5 points in skilled migration.
Prior to that, an applicant was required to appear in para-professional OR professional level tests to claim those extra points. Also, it was possible to appear in the para-professional from 12 overseas locations.
With the new standard, the old tests are discontinued and now the only way to claim the extra points for Credential Community Language is to appear in the CCL examination. Furthermore, at present, CCL test is available only within Australia, no option for an overseas test.
So, from 1st January 2018:
Also, CCL test can be used only to claim Credential Community Language Points, it will not certify the applicant to work as an interpreter or translator. For that, you need to appear in the certification test.
