OET COACHING
Occupational English Training or OET is designed for specialized professionals like nurses, doctors, and pharmacists. Healthcare professionals who wish to work or practice in predominantly English-speaking nations can take the Occupational English Test (OET) to gauge their level of English proficiency. The OET test is administered by CBLA, or Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment, a joint venture of the Boxhill Institute and Cambridge English. Government agencies, organizations, and universities in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Singapore, Dubai, Ukraine, and Namibia- all accept OET Test scores.
OET test scores are valid for two years, and the results are declared 16 business days after the completion of the test. These test scores determine whether you possess the required language skills to work in a healthcare environment. All candidates wanting to appear for the OET Test must begin early, as this would allow them greater time to set aside for revision.
The OET Test assesses an individual on the basis of the following parameters:
- Reading
