What is OET? Understanding the Occupational English Test
The Occupational English Test (OET) is an international English language test that assesses the language communication skills of healthcare professionals who wish to register and practice in an English-speaking environment. Unlike general English tests (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE), OET is specifically designed for healthcare settings and uses medical and nursing contexts in all test materials.
Developed by Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment Trust in collaboration with Cambridge English Language Assessment, OET for Nursing is recognized by nursing regulatory bodies in multiple countries including the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in the UK, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and Nursing Council of New Zealand, among others.
