What is NAATI, and which level test needs to be take for immigration purposes?

National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) is the national standards and accreditation body for the translation and interpreting profession in Australia. It is responsible for setting and maintaining professional standards for translators and interpreters in the country.

NAATI certification is recognized by the Australian government as the standard for assessing the language skills of professionals working in the translation and interpreting fields.

To work as a translator or interpreter in Australia and for immigration purposes, you will need to take and pass the NAATI Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test at the Professional or Paraprofessional level. The CCL test assesses your skills in translating or interpreting between English and one or more of the community languages.

The professional level of the CCL test is considered to be the higher level of the two, and is recognized as demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the language and interpreting skills. The Paraprofessional level of the CCL test is considered to be the lower level of the two, and is recognized as demonstrating a satisfactory level of proficiency in the language and interpreting skills.

It is important to check the latest rules and regulations from the Australian government regarding the immigration process, as it is subject to change.
