Somali practice topics and interpretation examples
Language rules for Somali CCL
The Somali entry refers to General Policies A and B. It does not add a separate language-specific rule.
Policy A covers regional variation: candidates need to understand variation within the language, and markers allow for it. Policy B permits limited English borrowing when it is normal and widely understood in the language community in Australia, even if an alternative word exists.
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: retain the full hearing date and time
Example · Preparing a Self-Defence Statement for an Assault Charge · segment 11
Your hearing is scheduled at 9:30am on Thursday, the fourteenth of May, at Blacktown Local Court; please bring the signed statements with you by then.
Model answer
Dhegeysiga maxkamaddaada waxaa loo qorsheeyay 9:30 subaxnimo Khamiista, 14-ka Maajo, Maxkamadda Degmada Blacktown (Blacktown Local Court); fadlan markaas la keen warbixinnada saxeexan.
Easy to miss: Time, weekday, date and court name all in one segment: 9:30am, Thursday 14 May, Blacktown Local Court; drop none.
Numbers and amounts: retain the amount paid and the two contact attempts
Example · Online Laptop Purchase Dispute · segment 2
Saddex toddobaad ka hor ayaan online kaga iibsaday laptop shirkadda Officeworks, waxaana bixiyay afar boqol iyo konton doollar. Wali ima soo gaarin, oo laba jeer ayaan la soo xiriiray iibiyaha, balse jawaab lama i siin.
Model answer
Three weeks ago I bought a laptop online from Officeworks, and I paid four hundred and fifty dollars. It still hasn't arrived, and I contacted the seller twice, but I was given no reply.
Easy to miss: The amount is 450 dollars (afar boqol iyo konton), not 400 or 415, and 'laba jeer' means twice, not once.
Address and relationships: include both the wife and the children
Example · HIV Diagnosis Disclosure and Family Transmission Risk · segment 2
Ilaahay, sidaas baa dhacday? Haddii aan la noolaanayo xaaskayga iyo carruurtayda hoy, miyaan u gudbin karaa fayraska HIV-ga?
Model answer
Oh God, is that what's happened? If I'm living at home with my wife and children, could I pass HIV on to them?
Easy to miss: 'Hoy' means at home; keep both wife AND children, not just wife.

Nurse
Mr Farah, thanks for coming in today. How has your chest pain been since you started the aspirin and GTN spray last week, and has it changed?
Patient
Waan ku qaatay dawooyinkii aad ii qortay, laakiin weli waxaan dareemaa xanuun yar oo laabta ah marka aan fuulo jaranjarada. Waxay dhacdaa hal ama laba jeer usbuucii.
Nurse
Does the tightness ease when you rest, or does it stay the same even when you stop walking or lie down?
Patient
Haa, marka aan istaago oo nasto, xanuunka wuu yaraadaa dhowr daqiiqo gudahood, laakiin marka aan hawl adag qabto ayuu soo noqdaa.

Questions people ask
Which variety of Somali should I use in the CCL test?
NAATI's general policies apply: examiners allow for regional variation (Policy A), and English words that Somali speakers in Australia regularly and commonly use are not penalised (Policy B). Excessive use of English is still one of NAATI's listed common mistakes.
How often is the Somali 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 Somali 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/somali: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.
Is the NAATI CCL test available in Somali?
Yes. Somali 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 64 Somali practice dialogues.
Do I need a NAATI CCL Somali coaching class?
Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 64 Somali dialogues and 32 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 Somali 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 Somali 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 Somali?
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.
