Lingo Copilot CCL · NAATI CCL
Updated
Your AI examiner for the NAATI CCL test.
Lingo Copilot CCL simulates the NAATI Credentialed Community Language test: two-way dialogues in segments of up to 35 words, recorded under the same pressure as the real exam, then scored instantly for omissions, additions and distortions — the accuracy errors NAATI's deductive marking deducts for. It covers 31 languages and ten topic domains, and a free Starter tier includes a complete practice test.
The scale you are practising for
Ninety marks, two dialogues, one pass line.
An online interpreting test of two recorded dialogues between English and another language, marked out of 90 with a pass mark of 63; passing earns 5 points in Australia's skilled-migration points test. NAATI offers it in 55 languages.
What Lingo Copilot CCL does
Every feature answers one question: where exactly are the marks going?
Realistic two-dialogue simulations
Segments of up to 35 words, English to your language and back, with record-as-you-go timing. Scoring follows NAATI's structure: 45 marks per dialogue, 63 of 90 to pass with at least 29 in each.
Scoring in NAATI's accuracy error categories
Each segment is transcribed and compared with the source. You see itemised deductions for omissions, additions and distortions, a segment score, written feedback and an improved version of your rendering.
31 languages, ten domains each
From Hindi, Mandarin, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Nepali and Arabic to Yoruba, Igbo and Hungarian — every language has dialogues across health, legal, immigration, education, community, employment, insurance, consumer affairs, housing and finance.
Meaning-based, language-aware marking
Natural paraphrase and synonyms are not penalised, and for pro-drop languages such as Japanese, Mandarin, Korean and Spanish a naturally dropped pronoun is not counted as an omission.
Vocabulary bank, flashcards and free PDFs
214 Australian community-services terms with translations in all 31 languages, spaced-repetition flashcards, and a free five-page note-taking guide.
Progress analytics
Score trends over time and detailed scoring breakdowns show your weak areas and whether you are consistently above the 63-mark pass line — the margin Lingo Copilot CCL suggests before you book.
Web and Android
Practise in a browser on any device or in the Android app. Because the real test bans headsets, the app encourages practising with built-in microphone and speakers.
Free Starter tier, one-time paid plans
One full test and one practice session free with the same AI feedback as paid plans. Paid access is a one-time payment for 3 or 6 months — not a subscription.
How it works
Three steps, repeated until the estimate stops moving.
Choose your language and domain
Pick one of 31 languages and a topic area such as health or legal. A realistic CCL dialogue is generated for that pair.

Questions about Lingo Copilot CCL
Straight answers.
What is Lingo Copilot CCL?
Lingo Copilot CCL is an AI-powered practice platform for the NAATI Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test. You listen to realistic dialogue segments, record your interpretation between English and your language, and receive instant scoring that itemises omissions, additions and distortions. It supports 31 languages and is available at ccl.lingo-copilot.com and on Google Play.
What is the NAATI CCL test and why do people take it?
The NAATI CCL test assesses your ability to interpret between English and another language in community settings such as health, legal and immigration. It is an online test of two pre-recorded dialogues of about 300 words each, offered by NAATI in 55 languages. It is not a professional interpreter certification; people sit it because a pass earns a credential worth 5 points in Australia's skilled-migration points test for subclass 189, 190 and 491 visas.
How is the NAATI CCL test scored?
Each dialogue is marked out of 45, for a total of 90. You pass with at least 63 overall and at least 29 in each dialogue — so 27 + 36 = 63 still fails. Marking is deductive, starting from 90: NAATI's examiners take marks off for errors in accuracy (omissions, additions, distortions), quality of language (grammar, register, pronunciation) and quality of delivery (pauses, hesitations, self-corrections). Accuracy and completeness matter more than elegant grammar.
Which languages does Lingo Copilot CCL support?
31 languages: Japanese, Mandarin, Hindi, Korean, Vietnamese, Nepali, Spanish, Punjabi, Telugu, Tamil, Urdu, Malayalam, Gujarati, Arabic, Kannada, Sinhala, Filipino, Bengali, Cantonese, Portuguese, Turkish, Persian, Indonesian, Marathi, Thai, Swahili, Yoruba, Igbo, Malay, Russian and Hungarian. Every language has dialogues across all ten practice domains.
How accurate is the AI compared with NAATI's examiners?
It marks against NAATI's accuracy error categories — omissions, additions and distortions — but it is practice feedback, not an official score; only NAATI's human examiners mark the real test, and they also deduct for quality of language and delivery. Its strength is consistent, specific, immediate feedback on where marks are lost, which is what candidates need between attempts.
How much does Lingo Copilot CCL cost?
The Starter tier is free forever and includes one full test and one practice session with complete AI feedback, plus vocabulary lists and flashcards. Paid plans are one-time payments — A$59 for 3 months or A$69 for 6 months of unlimited practice across all 31 languages (August 2026 prices). There is no subscription; when access ends you return to the free tier.
How many practice tests should I do before booking?
There is no fixed number, but a useful benchmark is to score above 70 out of 90 consistently on full practice sessions, which leaves a margin over the 63-mark pass line. Candidates commonly prepare for four to eight weeks.
Can I practise on my phone?
Yes — in any modern browser with microphone access or in the Android app. One caution from the product team: the real CCL test does not allow headsets, so do at least part of your practice with your device's built-in microphone and speakers.
