NAATI CCL Test Day Rules

Failing the NAATI CCL test because of a technicality or a broken rule is a heartbreaking experience. Because the test is administered entirely online, NAATI enforces strict proctoring rules to ensure the integrity of the exam.

What this page helps you do

Understand the exact rules and regulations you must follow on test day to avoid warnings, point deductions, or outright disqualification.

Why this topic matters

If you look at your phone, wear headphones, or have someone else in the room, your test will be invalidated. Knowing the rules reduces anxiety and ensures a smooth test experience.

How the NAATI CCL test works

The test is conducted via Microsoft Teams (or a similar platform). A live proctor will check your ID, inspect your room via your webcam, and monitor you throughout the entire 30-minute exam.

Common mistakes candidates make

  • Wearing headphones or earbuds (which is strictly prohibited)
  • Looking off-screen frequently, which makes the proctor suspect you are reading notes
  • Forgetting to have an accepted, original physical ID ready to show the camera
