NAATI CPI test dates: questions

How often are CPI tests scheduled?

NAATI says CPI tests run every 6 months for each language. The published list can contain several sessions in a testing round.

How do I book a CPI test?

Apply for CPI through myNAATI first. Once NAATI approves your application and any prerequisites are met, use myNAATI to select and book a session. NAATI says CPI bookings close 5 weeks before the test date.

Is CPI online or in person?

CPI sessions may be online or in person. The table reproduces the location in NAATI’s schedule. Spoken-language online CPI uses MS Teams; check your candidate instructions for your language and delivery mode.

Can I cancel a CPI booking and get a refund?

NAATI states that cancelling at least 1 hour before the test gives a 75% refund. Read the current cancellation terms before changing a booking.

Why does my language have no CPI dates?

No published session does not mean the language is unavailable. Check the NAATI test-date search again and contact NAATI through your myNAATI application for the next round.
