ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ। ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਦੁਪਹਿਰ ਮੈਂ ਰੇਲ ਗੱਡੀ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਘਰ ਆ ਰਹੀ ਸੀ। ਸਟੇਸ਼ਨ ਉੱਤੇ ਕੌਫ਼ੀ ਖ਼ਰੀਦਣ ਵੇਲੇ ਬਟੂਆ ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲ ਸੀ, ਪਰ ਘਰ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਕੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਿਆ।

Punjabi practice topics and interpretation examples
Language rules for Punjabi CCL
The Punjabi entry refers to General Policy A. Testing is in Eastern Punjabi; Western Punjabi is not offered in this snapshot. Occasional English or other regional-language words are acceptable when most Punjabi speakers in Australia would understand them. Frequent borrowing that many speakers would not understand is penalised.
Using English numerals when speaking Punjabi is penalised. Figures given in millions in English must be converted to lakhs or crores in Punjabi, and the conversion must also be made in the reverse direction.

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: separate the put-out deadline from the collection window
Example · Hard Waste Collection Booking with Local Council · segment 7
The truck is scheduled to arrive on Thursday between 7am and 3pm, so please place everything out on the kerb by 6am that morning.
Model answer
ਟਰੱਕ ਵੀਰਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਸਵੇਰੇ 7 ਵਜੇ ਤੋਂ ਦੁਪਹਿਰ 3 ਵਜੇ ਦੇ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ਆਉਣਾ ਤੈਅ ਹੈ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਉਸ ਦਿਨ ਸਵੇਰੇ 6 ਵਜੇ ਤੱਕ ਸਾਰਾ ਸਮਾਨ ਸੜਕ ਦੇ ਕਿਨਾਰੇ, ਕਰਬ 'ਤੇ, ਰੱਖ ਦਿਓ।
Easy to miss: Three different times (7am, 3pm, 6am); the 6am put-out deadline is separate from the 7am collection start.
Numbers and amounts: retain the money left and the period it must cover
Example · Leaving Home After a Family Argument · segment 10
ਸੱਚ ਦੱਸਾਂ ਤਾਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਵੀਹ ਡਾਲਰ ਬਚੇ ਨੇ। ਤਿੰਨ ਦਿਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਖਾਣੇ ਲਈ ਇਹ ਕਾਫ਼ੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਨ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਕੋਈ ਮਦਦ ਮਿਲ ਜਾਵੇ ਤਾਂ ਮਿਹਰਬਾਨੀ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ।
Model answer
To be honest, I've only got twenty dollars left. That's not enough for three days of food, so if I could get some help, I'd be very grateful.
Easy to miss: The amount is twenty dollars, and the negation 'not enough' must be kept.
Address and relationships: preserve the form of address and identify the niece
Example · Recalling a Transfer Sent to the Wrong Account · segment 8
ਠੀਕ ਹੈ ਪੁੱਤ। ਭੈਣ ਹਸਪਤਾਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਧੀ ਤੋਂ ਸਹੀ ਨੰਬਰ ਲਿਖਵਾ ਕੇ ਮੰਗਵਾ ਲਵਾਂਗੀ। ਫ਼ੋਨ ਸਵੇਰੇ ਦਸ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਰਾਂ ਵਜੇ ਦੇ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ਕਰਨਾ, ਸ਼ਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਮੈਂ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰੇ ਗਈ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹਾਂ।
Model answer
All right, son. My sister is in hospital, but I'll get her daughter to write down the correct number and send it to me. Please phone in the morning between ten and twelve, because in the evening I'm usually at the gurdwara.
Easy to miss: The correct number comes from the sister's daughter (her niece), not from the sister; and the time window is morning 10 to 12.

Good morning. I understand you would like to report a lost wallet. Can you tell me when and where you last saw it?
Resident
ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ। ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਦੁਪਹਿਰ ਮੈਂ ਰੇਲ ਗੱਡੀ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਘਰ ਆ ਰਹੀ ਸੀ। ਸਟੇਸ਼ਨ ਉੱਤੇ ਕੌਫ਼ੀ ਖ਼ਰੀਦਣ ਵੇਲੇ ਬਟੂਆ ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲ ਸੀ, ਪਰ ਘਰ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਕੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਿਆ।
Officer
Which station was that, and roughly what time? These details help us check with the station's lost property office.
Resident
ਸੈਂਟਰਲ ਸਟੇਸ਼ਨ, ਲਗਭਗ ਸਾਢੇ ਚਾਰ ਵਜੇ। ਬਟੂਆ ਭੂਰੇ ਚਮੜੇ ਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੇਰਾ ਲਾਇਸੰਸ, ਇੱਕ ਬੈਂਕ ਕਾਰਡ ਅਤੇ ਲਗਭਗ ਅੱਸੀ ਡਾਲਰ ਨਕਦ ਸਨ।

Questions people ask
Which variety of Punjabi should I use in the CCL test?
NAATI tests Punjabi (Eastern); Punjabi (Western) is not currently offered. Occasional English words are fine if most Punjabi speakers in Australia would understand them (NAATI's examples: mobile phone, fridge, satellite), but frequent use of words many would not understand is penalised (examples: because, marriage, documents). English numerals are penalised, and millions must be converted to lakhs or crores.
How often is the Punjabi 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 29 upcoming Punjabi sessions, 29 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Thu 5 Nov 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/punjabi: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.
Is the NAATI CCL test available in Punjabi?
Yes. Punjabi 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 168 Punjabi practice dialogues.
Do I need a NAATI CCL Punjabi coaching class?
Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 168 Punjabi dialogues and 84 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 Punjabi 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 Punjabi 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 Punjabi?
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.
