Italian practice topics and interpretation examples

Language rules for Italian CCL

The Italian entry requires Standard Italian. Both the recording and the candidate's speech may have regional intonation; the policy treats this as natural variation within the standard language.

Some English words are acceptable when native Italian speakers commonly use them and they form part of the lexicon.

Source: NAATI Language Policy for Credentialed Community Language (CCL) Tests, Language-specific information and general policies, as applicable. Checked .

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: keep the alternative appointment as an offer

Example · Managing High Blood Pressure Medication · segment 11

If Thursday afternoon doesn't suit you, we can book Friday morning instead - would nine thirty work for you instead?

Model answer

Se giovedì pomeriggio non le va bene, possiamo prenotare per venerdì mattina: le andrebbero bene le nove e mezza?

Easy to miss: Friday at 9:30 am is an offer requiring confirmation, not an already confirmed booking.

Numbers and amounts: distinguish the oxygen level from the size of its drop

Example · Asthma Attack: Emergency Department Assessment · segment 9

Her oxygen level dropped to ninety-one percent, so we're giving her nebulised medication now and admitting her overnight here at Bankstown Hospital for close observation.

Model answer

Il suo livello di ossigeno è sceso al novantuno per cento, quindi ora le stiamo somministrando un farmaco tramite nebulizzatore e la ricoveriamo per la notte qui al Bankstown Hospital per tenerla sotto stretta osservazione.

Easy to miss: The oxygen level dropped to 91 percent, not by 91 percent.

Address and relationships: identify whose father the care plan concerns

Example · Palliative Care Planning at Calvary Mater Newcastle · segment 1

Thank you for coming in today, Mrs Colombo. I'd like to talk through your father's care plan here at Calvary Mater Newcastle, and answer any questions you have.

Model answer

Grazie di essere venuta oggi, signora Colombo. Vorrei parlare con lei del piano di assistenza per suo padre qui al Calvary Mater Newcastle e rispondere a tutte le sue domande.

Easy to miss: The care plan is for Mrs Colombo's father, not for her.

Nurse

Mr Conti, thanks for coming in today—your eye swab results confirm acute bacterial conjunctivitis affecting your right eye, as we suspected.

Patient

Grazie, infermiera. È molto contagiosa? Devo stare attento con mia moglie e i miei figli a casa?

Nurse

Yes, it can spread easily to others in your household. I'll prescribe antibiotic drops, four times daily for five days, plus strict hand hygiene.

Patient

Capisco. Lavoro come cuoco in un ristorante a Cabramatta. Posso tornare al lavoro prima, magari dopo due giorni, oppure devo restare a casa tutti e cinque i giorni?

Questions people ask

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

Standard Italian is required. Regional intonation is treated as natural variation, and English words commonly used by native Italian speakers are acceptable.

How often is the Italian 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 8 upcoming Italian sessions, 8 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Wed 18 Nov 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/italian: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.

Is the NAATI CCL test available in Italian?

Yes. Italian 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 58 Italian practice dialogues.

Do I need a NAATI CCL Italian coaching class?

Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 58 Italian dialogues and 29 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 Italian 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 Italian 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 Italian?

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.
