Applying for the NAATI CCL Test is a straightforward process, but it requires careful attention to detail to ensure your application is completed correctly. Here’s an expanded guide to help you navigate the process:
Step 1: Create a myNAATI Account and Submit an Application
The first step in applying for the NAATI CCL Test is to create an account on the myNAATI customer portal. This portal is your primary tool for managing your test application, selecting a test date, and accessing important updates.
What You Need to Provide
When submitting your application, you will need to include the following:
- Personal Information
- Full name (given name/s and family name as per official documents)
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Country of birth
- Current residential address
- Contact Details
- A valid email address
- An active phone number
- Photo
- A clear, recent photo that meets the requirements for official documentation (e.g., similar to a passport photo).
- Review NAATI’s detailed photo requirements here.
- Identity Document
- A scanned copy of an accepted ID, such as a valid passport or Australian driver’s license.
- Ensure the scan is clear and includes all relevant details. A list of accepted documents can be found on the NAATI website.
Once all this information is ready, log in to your myNAATI account, fill out the online application form, and upload the required documents.
Step 2: Wait for Application Processing
After submitting your application, NAATI will process it by verifying the details and documents provided. This process typically takes up to two business days.
- If your application is approved, you will receive an email notification from NAATI.
- If your application is rejected, it is likely due to missing or invalid documents (e.g., an unclear identity document). You will need to resubmit your application with the correct information.
Important: You cannot select a test date until your application has been approved.
Step 3: Select a Test Date and Pay the Test Fee
Once your application is approved, you will receive an email from NAATI (via noreply@naati.com.au) inviting you to select a test date.
How to Choose a Test Date
- Log in to your myNAATI account.
- Check the list of available test dates. The schedule is live, so availability may change rapidly.
- Choose a test date that suits your schedule.
- Pay the test fee to confirm your booking.
Test Fee Summary
- Test Fee: $814 AUD
- Additional fees, such as $187 AUD for a review of test results, may apply under specific conditions.
Once your booking is confirmed, NAATI will send you a reminder email approximately 10 days before your test date.
Rescheduling or Cancelling Your Test
Rescheduling Your Test
- Up to 3 Days Before the Test:
- You can reschedule your test through your myNAATI account at no additional cost. Simply reject your current test session and select a new date. However, keep in mind that once you reject a test session, your spot becomes available for others, and the same date may no longer be available.
- Within 2 Days of the Test:
- Rescheduling is generally not allowed unless you provide valid evidence of exceptional circumstances, such as:
- Hospital admission
- Serious injury or accident
- Supporting documentation, such as a medical certificate, must be sent to info@naati.com.au by 8:00 AM (AET) on the test day.
Cancelling Your Test
If you wish to cancel your test, follow these guidelines:
- More Than 2 Days Before the Test:
- You are eligible for a 75% refund of the test fee.
- Submit a cancellation request through your myNAATI account.
- Within 2 Days of the Test:
- Cancellations made within 2 days are not eligible for a refund.
- To cancel, email info@naati.com.au with your customer number.
No-Show Policy: If you fail to attend the test on the scheduled date without prior cancellation, it will be considered a no-show, and no refund will be provided.
Additional Notes
Test Reminders and Notifications
- Expect a reminder email about your test date and details 10 days prior.
- Ensure that emails from noreply@naati.com.au are not blocked or sent to your spam folder.
