NAATI CCL Course Sydney & Parramatta

CCL Course Sydney and Parramatta

At Englishfirm, we offer private NAATI classes in Parramatta and Sydney that will prepare applicants to successfully pass their CCL test. We offer one-on-one training so that each student is fully prepared by our team of highly experienced educators to gain an overall mark of 63 or more.

The CCL examination is a newly created test designed to assess the applicant’s ability to interpret a conversation between a native English speaker and a speaker who is a native speaker of a language other than English (LOTE). Therefore, the training we offer at Englishfirm is arranged to help students become comfortable switching from English to Nepali, Hindi, or Tamil with ease.

Our online and in-person sessions are flexible, and we’re happy to schedule these to fit in with your busy schedule so that you can take advantage of all the tips and tricks your teacher has to offer.

Our head trainer, Minisha James, is a successful language coach who is one of Australia’s most in-demand CLL trainers. She’s extremely knowledgeable and has skilfully put together our CCL course materials to help students pass their test with flying colours, whether completing Nepali NAATI CCL, Hindi NAATI CCL, or NAATI Tamil coaching.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Format of the CCL Test?

CCL exams are taken online and are made up of two different passages of dialogue between a native English speaker and a LOTE speaker. Each dialogue is approximately 300 words, with about 50 per cent of the dialogue in English and the rest in the test language. Each section of dialogue is further divided into segments of not more than 35 words. A chime will indicate when each short segment ends. The tester will pause the recording at each chime and allow the candidate to complete the response. The tester will then restart the recording and play the next segment only when the candidate has finished their response.

How Long Do I Have to Wait for My Results?

 All CCL tests are conducted by NAATI online. Results are usually released 8-10 weeks after the test is completed.

How Is the CCL Test Marked?

Each passage of dialogue is marked out of a total of 45 points. In order to pass the test, you need to score a minimum of 29 points for each passage of dialogue, and at least 63 out of 90 overall. You have one repeat opportunity per section of dialogue without any penalty. We recommend you utilise this provision in each section.

You will be penalised for every error in your response. Errors include grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, hesitations, omission, and additions in speech.

You’re allowed to correct yourself if you make a mistake while speaking. Although points will be deducted for corrections, it’s better to make a correction with some points deducted than answering wrong and receiving no points at all.

What Topics Can Be Covered in The NAATI CCL Test?

• Health

What Are Your Top Tips for Notetaking in The CCL Test?

You are allowed to take notes while completing your exam. Our advice is to:

• Use abbreviations instead of writing in complete sentences
• Develop a strategy that works for you
• Listen and make notes simultaneously
• Focus on listening so that you fully understand the dialogue
• Use the visualisation technique to remember the topics discussed
• Be careful to record names, dates, location, and address accurately

What Will the Best CCL Course Sydney Cover During Preparation?

A course that encourages you to implement theoretical knowledge into practice is the best preparation for CCL you can get. It’s crucial to practice speaking slowly and clearly before your exam, in both English and the test language. You should practice both languages as much as possible before sitting your exam. Remember to maintain a regular fluency that isn’t too fast or too slow and take your time when you answer; a 2-5 second pause is acceptable. Using a varied vocabulary is also important. Expand your vocabulary as much as possible by reviewing your Shabd Kosh Dictionary.
