How to increase points for Australia Skilled Migration 

To apply for Australia Skilled Migration you must have at least 65 points in order to submit EOI. Often applicants need to increase points through some additional factors. One of the great and easy ways to increase five points is passing the NAATI test. 

NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is the national accreditation body for translators and interpreters in Australia. It is responsible for setting and maintaining professional standards for the translation and interpreting industry in Australia.

One of the tests offered by NAATI is the CCL (Credentialed Community Language) test, which is a language assessment test for people who speak a language other than English and wish to work as a translator or interpreter in Australia. The test assesses the candidate’s language proficiency and understanding of cultural nuances in the language they are translating or interpreting.

The test is conducted in person and is divided into two parts: a written test and an oral test. The written test assesses the candidate’s grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension skills in their community language. The oral test assesses the candidate’s interpreting skills, including their ability to accurately translate spoken language in both directions.

NAATI accreditation is required by some Australian government agencies, as well as many private sector organizations, in order to work as a translator or interpreter in Australia. The CCL test is a requirement for those who want to apply for the accreditation.

It’s important to note that the test’s difficulty level, format, and the pass mark may vary depending on the language and the test format can change without notice, so it’s always recommended to stay informed about the requirements and updates from NAATI.
