Five migration points
A pass on the CCL test adds five points to your skilled migration score, often the difference in an invitation round.
Turn your bilingual skills into five migration points on the road to Australian permanent residency.
If you speak a language other than English at a working level, you already carry an advantage in your Australian migration journey. The NAATI CCL test lets you convert that skill into five points on the points-based migration test.
For many students and graduates, five points is the number that lifts an Expression of Interest above the invitation cut-off. Sky Consultants explains how the test works, what preparation looks like and how to pick a course provider that matches your language.
Our team stays with you from enrolment through to test-day logistics, so you can focus on the language itself.
