Occupational English Test

The Occupational English Test (OET) is an internationally recognized English language examination designed specifically for healthcare professionals. It evaluates the communication skills required to work safely and effectively in real healthcare environments.

Unlike general English tests, OET uses profession-specific scenarios, making it highly relevant for nurses, doctors, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and other healthcare practitioners seeking registration, employment, or migration opportunities abroad.

OET is accepted by healthcare regulatory bodies and employers in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Dubai.

• General Medical Council (GMC)
