OET preparation

The English exam for people who already do the job

Occupational English Test preparation for nurses, doctors and allied health professionals who need the score to practise.

IWhat we do

Three things, done properly.

i

Profession specific

Materials for the actual profession, since OET assesses in a clinical context.

ii

Communication criteria

The relationship building and structure criteria that clinicians consistently underestimate.

iii

Writing task

The referral letter, which is where most candidates lose the sub test.

IIWhat goes wrong

The two failures we see most.

We publish these because most of the value in hiring anyone is knowing which mistakes are common, and that knowledge is not worth hiding.

Treating it as IELTS

OET assesses clinical communication, not general English. Preparation aimed at the wrong construct plateaus.

Clinical skill assumed to carry

Being good with patients in your first language does not automatically satisfy the criteria in English under exam conditions.

IIIHow we work

We tell you what we find.

Including when the answer is that you do not need what you came to ask for. Anyone who never says that is not giving you information, they are giving you an invoice.

Scope

Where something needs a legal opinion, a financial audit or a clinical judgement, we will say so and stop rather than improvise past the edge of what we do.

Start a conversation.

Tell us the situation rather than the service you think you need. We would rather start from your problem.
