Planning to work or register as a healthcare professional abroad? OET (Occupational English Test) is the gateway. Our specialized OET coaching in Chandigarh is tailored for doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers to help you pass the exam with confidence.
OET is an English language proficiency test for healthcare professionals, recognized in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and more. It assesses Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking — all in a medical context.
Tailored for Healthcare: Unlike general English exams like IELTS, OET uses real healthcare scenarios, making it more relevant for doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and other professionals.
Profession-Specific: The test content is customized for 12 different healthcare professions.
Focus on Communication: It evaluates how well candidates can communicate in medical settings, especially with patients and colleagues.
The OET (Occupational English Test) is now available in both paper-based and computer-based formats, offering candidates greater flexibility. The OET Computer-Based Test is especially popular among healthcare professionals who prefer a modern testing experience and want to take the exam from a secure center or, in some cases, from home (depending on location and availability).
The OET CBT is the same test in format, difficulty, and scoring as the paper-based version, but it is taken on a computer. It assesses your proficiency in English in a healthcare context, testing all four language skills:
Listening
Reading
Writing
Speaking
The only major difference is how the test is delivered—electronically instead of on paper.
