Tamil practice topics and interpretation examples
Language rules for Tamil CCL
The Tamil 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.

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 Thursday deadline
Example · Divorce Application Consultation · segment 12
நன்றி, வியாழக்கிழமைக்குள் சான்றிதழையும் ஒப்புதல் படிவத்தையும் பதிவேற்றுகிறேன்.
Model answer
Thank you, I'll upload the certificate and the consent form by Thursday.
Easy to miss: Preserve 'by Thursday' rather than changing it to 'on Thursday'.
Numbers and amounts: keep the displayed price, charge and overcharge separate
Example · Overcharged at the Store · segment 2
அம்மா, விலைப் பட்டியலில் அறுநூற்று தொண்ணூற்று ஒன்பது டாலர் என்று போட்டிருந்தது, ஆனால் காசாளர் என்னிடம் எண்ணூற்று நாற்பத்தி ஒன்பது டாலர் வாங்கிக்கொண்டார். அது நூற்று ஐம்பது டாலர் அதிகமாக இருக்கிறது.
Model answer
Madam, the price tag said six hundred and ninety-nine dollars, but the cashier charged me eight hundred and forty-nine dollars. That's one hundred and fifty dollars too much.
Easy to miss: Do not reverse the $699 displayed price and the $849 charged.
Address and relationships: identify the husband's older sister and her citizenship
Example · Relationship Evidence for a Partner Visa · segment 8
புரியுது சார். என் கணவரோட அக்கா சிட்னியில இருக்காங்க, அவங்க ஆஸ்திரேலியக் குடிமகள். இன்னொரு நண்பரும் இருக்கார். அவங்க ரெண்டு பேரும் கையெழுத்து மட்டும் போட்டா போதுமா?
Model answer
I understand, sir. My husband's older sister lives in Sydney, and she's an Australian citizen. There's another friend as well. Is it enough for the two of them just to sign?
Easy to miss: The speaker confirms the sister's citizenship, but does not state the friend's status.

Questions people ask
Which variety of Tamil should I use in the CCL test?
NAATI's general policies apply: examiners allow for regional variation (Policy A), and English words that Tamil 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 Tamil 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 11 upcoming Tamil sessions, 11 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/tamil: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.
Is the NAATI CCL test available in Tamil?
Yes. Tamil 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 115 Tamil practice dialogues.
Do I need a NAATI CCL Tamil coaching class?
Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 115 Tamil dialogues and 57 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 Tamil 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 Tamil 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 Tamil?
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.
