Arabic practice topics and interpretation examples

Language rules for Arabic CCL

The Arabic entry refers to General Policies A and B: candidates must understand regional variation, and examiners allow for it; established, limited English borrowing is recognised under Policy B.

The entry restricts English terms to transliterated words that have become established parts of Arabic vocabulary. Its examples are telephone, town-house and AIDS.

Details to check: dates, numbers and respectful address

These examples show specific mistakes to avoid in our practice material. They are not a ranking of candidate errors or extra NAATI rules. Keep the timing, amounts and social meaning of the original, including polite requests and forms of address.

Dates and times: retain all three weekdays

Example · Enrolling a Son and Claiming the Child Care Subsidy · segment 8

الاثنين والأربعاء والخميس بيناسبوني. بس ابني خجول وما بيحب يترك أمه. في طريقة بتخليه يتعوّد على المكان قبل ما يبدأ؟

Model answer

Monday, Wednesday and Thursday suit me. But my son is shy and doesn't like being away from his mother. Is there a way for him to get used to the place before he starts?

Easy to miss: Keep the three weekdays accurate: Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Numbers and amounts: identify the excess and when it is paid

Example · Storm Damage Home Insurance Claim · segment 4

قبل أن نكمل، أريد أن أعرف: مبلغ التحمّل وهو ألف ومئتا دولار، هل يجب أن أدفعه مقدّمًا أم يُخصم من مبلغ التعويض لاحقًا؟

Model answer

Before we go any further, I'd like to know: do I have to pay the $1,200 excess upfront, or will it be deducted from the compensation later?

Easy to miss: The $1,200 is the excess, not the compensation amount.

Address and relationships: keep the wife's brother distinct from the speaker's brother

Example · Partner Visa: Proving a Genuine Relationship · segment 8

ممكن أخو زوجتي وجارنا يكتبوا إفادة؟ وكيف بنرفع الأوراق كلها بعد ما نجمعها؟

Model answer

Can my wife's brother and our neighbour write a declaration? And how do we upload all the documents once we've collected them?

Easy to miss: The relative is his wife's brother, not his own brother.

Doctor

Can you tell me exactly what's been happening with your eye — when did the redness and yellow discharge first start?

Patient

بدأت عيني اليمنى تحمر وتفرز سائلاً أصفر منذ يومين، وفي الصباح تكون رموشي ملتصقة تماماً.

Doctor

This looks like acute bacterial conjunctivitis, which is quite contagious. Please avoid sharing towels, pillows, or bedding with anyone else at home.

Patient

هل يحتاج الأمر إلى مضاد حيوي؟ أنا قلقة لأن ابني الصغير ينام في نفس الغرفة معي.

Questions people ask

Which variety of Arabic should I use in the CCL test?

English terms should be restricted to transliterated words that have gained currency and become lexicalised in Arabic (NAATI's examples: telephone, town-house, AIDS).

How often is the Arabic CCL test held?

NAATI tests high-demand languages every month and the others at least 4 times a year, and bookings close 1 week before each session. As of 22 Oct 2026, 1:00 pm (Sydney time), NAATI lists 13 upcoming Arabic sessions, 13 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Wed 11 Nov 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/arabic: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.

Is the NAATI CCL test available in Arabic?

Yes. Arabic is one of the languages NAATI tests for the CCL. Passing can support a claim for 5 points towards your skilled migration score. We currently publish 53 Arabic practice dialogues.

Do I need a NAATI CCL Arabic coaching class?

Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 53 Arabic dialogues and 26 mock tests on your own, at exam speed, and the AI marks each segment for what you kept, left out, changed or added. A class adds a teacher who listens and corrects you; if you want one, see the Arabic CCL teachers and classes list on naaticcl.com. The score here is our estimate, not a NAATI result.

How many marks do I need to pass?

63 out of 90, and at least 29 on each of the two dialogues. Marks come off for information you leave out, add, or change, and for language quality. We mark against the same published categories; the score is our own model's estimate, not a NAATI result.

How much does the real Arabic CCL test cost?

AUD $814 (NAATI fees for 1 July 2026 – 30 June 2027), and you do not know the result until NAATI finalises it. That is the whole reason this site exists: know where you stand before you pay to sit it.

Can I wear headphones in the test?

No — no headsets, headphones or earphones of any kind. You use the computer's speakers and microphone. Older guides that tell you to wear wired headphones will get you caught out on the day. Only one screen is allowed at any time; your phone or tablet acts as the second camera.

Can I take notes?

Yes, with a pen and loose sheets of paper only. No typing of notes, and no electronic resources — dictionaries, web browsing, live captions or transcription — during the test.

What if I miss something — can I hear a segment again?

Yes. One repeated segment per dialogue is allowed without penalty. Further repeats incur mark deductions.

How long until I get my result, and how long is it valid?

NAATI's candidate instructions say results come by email within 4–6 weeks; they are issued individually as they are finalised, so two people who sat on the same day can hear back on different days. The result is valid for five years from the date of issue (three years if issued before 9 August 2022) and cannot be extended. You can apply to sit again six months before expiry, according to NAATI’s FAQ.

Is CCL still worth 5 migration points in Arabic?

Yes. Credentialed Community Language points remain in the 189, 190 and 491 points tests. CCL is not a professional interpreting credential — passing it does not qualify you to work as an interpreter.
