OET
About the course
An international English language assessment called the Occupational English Test (OET) was created especially for medical professionals. It assesses healthcare professionals’ language proficiency who wish to practice in an English-speaking environment. OET evaluates how well a person can use English to communicate in a spoken and written form when they go and live in an English-speaking environment. It assesses four essential language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Listening assesses the ability to comprehend the spoken discourse in such activities as consultations and discussions in relative professional contexts. Writing entails writing such documents like referral or discharge letters, keeping clarity and relevancy as they relate to their profession. Speaking entails role play, as in discussions and consultation with patients. OET is recognized nationally and internationally by high leading healthcare regulatory bodies, employers, and institutions in Australia, the UK, New Zealand, among others. Such criteria deem important for physicians, immigration nurses, pharmacists alike, other health professionals to attest to their excellence in efficacy.
