Course Overview

In the UK, it is accepted by both the General Medical Council as meeting the English language requirements to practice as a doctor and by the Nursing & Midwifery Council as meeting these requirements to practice as a nurse. Like the IELTS test, it tests the four main components of English language – reading, writing, listening and speaking. However, it is different in that it focuses on the English language skills required in your specific profession. Many doctors and nurses therefore prefer the OET test because it is more relevant to their work and could be seen as a fairer test of their ability to practice in the UK and elsewhere. The Occupational English Test for Doctors and the OET for Nurses are slightly different as the skills required by these different groups vary.

Entry Requirement 

The main aim of the Occupational English Test course is to prepare healthcare professionals for the OET test rather than to improve their general level of English. Therefore. the course is most appropriate for learners with a C1 or high B2 level of English. We are happy to advise you on whether or not we feel that your language skills are sufficiently advanced for this course. Those with a lower level can prepare for this course by taking more general language courses with IFG.
