Are you inching closer to your Australian Permanent Residency (PR) dream under the General Skilled Migration Program? Every point on your application is precious, and here’s a golden ticket to add five more to your tally! The National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) offers the Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test, a straightforward way to earn these additional points, especially if Telugu is your mother tongue.
The NAATI CCL test evaluates your ability to communicate at a community level between English and another language, in this case, Telugu. This isn’t a professional certification, so while it doesn’t qualify you as a translator or interpreter, it’s a significant step towards boosting your Australian PR application with the “Credentialed Community Language qualifications” under the points test for skilled migration.
Here’s a snapshot of what this opportunity entails:
