Portuguese practice topics and interpretation examples

Language rules for Portuguese CCL

The Portuguese entry refers to General Policy B, allowing limited English borrowing that is normal and widely understood by the language community in Australia, even when an alternative word exists.

The Portuguese test reading uses a neutral accent. Candidates must understand regional variations, including vocabulary and usage in Portugal and Brazil, and examiner panels make allowances for these variations when marking.

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 next Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.

Example · Anxiety Referral at a Community Health Centre · segment 9

There's an opening next Wednesday at ten thirty in the morning with one of our psychologists, if that time suits you.

Model answer

Há um horário disponível na próxima quarta-feira, às dez e meia da manhã, com um dos nossos psicólogos, se esse horário for bom para a senhora.

Easy to miss: Keep next Wednesday and 10:30 a.m. accurate.

Numbers and amounts: keep three sessions per week for two weeks

Example · Back Pain After a Workplace Injury · segment 11

You'll need three sessions a week for the next fortnight, then we'll reassess your progress. There's no cost to you while the icare claim stays open.

Model answer

Você vai precisar de três sessões por semana nas próximas duas semanas. Depois, vamos reavaliar sua evolução. Você não terá nenhum custo enquanto o pedido de indenização da icare continuar aberto.

Easy to miss: Three sessions a week for a fortnight does not mean three sessions in total.

Address and relationships: keep the husband's attendance tentative

Example · Antenatal Check-up: Gestational Diabetes Screening · segment 12

Perfeito, duas semanas está ótimo para mim. Meu marido vai tentar vir junto para ver o ultrassom.

Model answer

Perfect, two weeks works very well for me. My husband will try to come along to see the ultrasound.

Easy to miss: Her husband will try to attend; his attendance is not confirmed.

Advisor

Could you walk me through exactly what happened this morning when you tried to return the faulty phone to the store staff?

Cliente

Comprei um telemóvel Samsung há três semanas na loja JB Hi-Fi, em Adelaide. A tela trava constantemente, mas o gerente só ofereceu conserto, não reembolso.

Advisor

Under Australian Consumer Law, if a fault is considered major, you're entitled to choose a full refund or replacement, not merely a repair.

Cliente

Mas ele disse que teriam de enviar o aparelho para conserto, e isso pode demorar até um mês. Isso é justo?

Questions people ask

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

Examiners allow for regional variation, such as Portuguese in Portugal and in Brazil; the test recording is delivered in a neutral accent.

How often is the Portuguese 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 Portuguese 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/portuguese: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.

Is the NAATI CCL test available in Portuguese?

Yes. Portuguese 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 59 Portuguese practice dialogues.

Do I need a NAATI CCL Portuguese coaching class?

Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 59 Portuguese 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 Portuguese 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 Portuguese 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 Portuguese?

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.
