What is the OET?
The Occupational English Test (OET) is an internationally recognised English language exam designed specifically for healthcare professionals. Unlike general English tests like IELTS, OET focuses on real-life medical language and scenarios, making it highly relevant for doctors, nurses, and allied health workers.
For internationally educated nurses and healthcare professionals aiming to register and work in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, or other English-speaking countries, OET is accepted as proof of English proficiency by regulatory bodies such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in the UK and AHPRA in Australia.
