D'accord, docteur. Comment dois-je utiliser ce spray, et est-ce qu'il y a des effets secondaires que je dois surveiller ?

Easy to miss: Two separate questions; interpreters often render only the second and drop 'how should I use it'.
All right, doctor. How should I use this spray, and are there any side effects I need to watch out for?

French practice topics and interpretation examples
The French entry refers to General Policy B, which permits limited English borrowing that is normal and widely understood in the language community in Australia.
The test uses non-dialectical Standard French, and candidates are expected to use a non-dialectical, non-regional form. Country-specific terms are accepted only to a very limited extent; the entry gives nonante for quatre-vingt-dix as an example.

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.
Example · Referral to an Eating Disorder Program · segment 12
D'accord, je comprends mieux maintenant. Je suis prête à commencer lundi prochain, merci beaucoup pour votre aide aujourd'hui.
Okay, I understand better now. I'm ready to start next Monday, thank you very much for your help today.
Easy to miss: 'Lundi prochain' is 'next Monday', not 'this Monday' or 'on Monday' without the 'next'.
Example · Negotiating a Retail Lease at Rockdale Plaza · segment 3
The rent rises by a fixed three per cent each year. Outgoings are extra: cleaning, security and marketing. We estimate about nine hundred dollars a month for your shop.
Le loyer augmente d'un pourcentage fixe de trois pour cent par an. Les charges sont en plus : le nettoyage, la sécurité et le marketing. Nous estimons environ neuf cents dollars par mois pour votre boutique.
Easy to miss: Three per cent is fixed, and $900 is an estimate per month, not per year or exact.
Example · Applying for Social Housing and the Waiting List · segment 4
Nous sommes trois : ma femme, mon fils de dix-neuf ans et moi. Mon fils étudie, ma femme ne travaille pas en ce moment, et moi je travaille à temps partiel dans un entrepôt.
There are three of us: my wife, my nineteen-year-old son and me. My son is studying, my wife isn't working at the moment, and I work part-time in a warehouse.
Easy to miss: Son is 19 (dix-neuf), not 9 or 29, and the wife's not working is 'at the moment', not permanent.
Interpret the complete sentence first, then compare the existing reference interpretation. The term link explains the Australian context; wording can vary with the situation.
From Managing New Angina Symptoms · segment 9
If the pain doesn't ease within five minutes after two sprays, call triple zero straight away — that could mean a heart attack.
Si la douleur ne diminue pas dans les cinq minutes après deux pulvérisations, appelez tout de suite le triple zéro : ça pourrait être une crise cardiaque.
Keep the meaning: Two numbers here — five minutes AND two sprays — plus 'triple zero' must stay as Australia's emergency number, not be converted to another country's.
From Disputed Physiotherapy Claim Under Extras Cover · segment 3
Your extras cover has a two-month waiting period for pre-existing conditions, unless it's an emergency admission. Was your knee surgery planned in advance?
Votre couverture extras prévoit un délai de carence de deux mois pour les affections préexistantes, sauf en cas d'admission d'urgence. Votre opération du genou était-elle prévue à l'avance ?
Keep the meaning: Don't drop the emergency-admission exception; 'waiting period' is 'délai de carence', not a generic 'attente'.
From Cellphone Refund Dispute · segment 5
Under Australian Consumer Law, a fault this serious is treated as a major failure, so you're entitled to choose a refund rather than accept a repair.
Selon le droit australien de la consommation, un défaut aussi grave est considéré comme une défaillance majeure, donc vous avez le droit de choisir un remboursement plutôt que d'accepter une réparation.
Keep the meaning: 'Major failure' is the legal term; render it as 'défaillance majeure', not just 'gros problème'.
From Managing New Angina Symptoms · Health · the same audio you get when you practise.
Mr Bertrand, thanks for coming in today. Can you tell me more about the chest tightness you've had this week, and when it first began?
Ça a commencé lundi, docteur. J'ai senti une pression dans la poitrine en montant les escaliers, et ça a duré environ cinq minutes avant de disparaître.
Does the pain settle down when you rest, or does it stay the same even after you stop moving?
Oui, si je m'arrête et que je m'assois, la douleur diminue en quelques minutes, mais si je continue à marcher, elle revient assez vite.

Non-dialectal Standard French is expected; country-specific terms can be used only to a very limited extent.
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 12 Nov 2026, 11:00 AM (Sydney time), NAATI lists 7 upcoming French sessions, 7 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Thu 17 Dec 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/french: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.
Yes. French 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 63 French practice dialogues.
The test. This page is for the CCL test, which can support a claim for 5 points on a skilled migration score but does not qualify you to work as an interpreter or translator. If you need a document translated, see how to find a NAATI certified translator.
Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 63 French dialogues and 31 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. Class packages we saw listed on 6 November 2026 ran from about $250 to about $700. The score here is our estimate, not a NAATI result.
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.
Speaking French at home is not enough. You carry every detail across at speed, in both directions, and marks come off for each omission or change. You need 29 of 45 in each dialogue as well as 63 of 90 overall, so one weak dialogue can fail you. More in is NAATI CCL hard.
NAATI publishes no preparation time and there are no training prerequisites. Try your two free dialogues first, because the score shows how far off you are, then use the 4-week study plan.
Yes. All CCL tests are online, and NAATI accepts a current passport from any country. Session times are listed in Sydney and Melbourne time, so check your own time zone. More in taking the CCL from overseas.
You can apply again and pay the test fee again. If you fail with 58 or higher, you can apply for a review within 30 days of your result for AUD $187: a separate examiner marks your test again. More in NAATI CCL review and resit.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. One repeated segment per dialogue is allowed without penalty. Further repeats incur mark deductions.
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.
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.
