What is the OET exam?
The Occupational English Test, also known as OET, is an international English test that assesses the language skills of health professionals who wish to register and work in English-speaking countries. This exam focuses on the evaluation of four fundamental language skills – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking – with emphasis on communication in professional healthcare contexts.
The Listening and Reading components are the same for all health professionals, while the Writing and Speaking components are specific to each profession.

Does this course assign any level of language proficiency?
The OET does not assign a general language proficiency level like CEFR levels (A1, B2, etc.). Instead, it assesses specific skills required in healthcare settings. Candidates receive grades (A to E) for each sub-test: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. These grades correspond to their ability to communicate effectively in a professional healthcare environment.
