OET is designed to meet the specific English language needs of the healthcare sector and has been developed for twelve healthcare professions, including Dentistry, Occupational Therapy, Podiatry, Medicine, Pharmacy, Speech Pathology, Dietetics, Optometry, Radiography, Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Veterinary Science.
To support the delivery of Upskill for Healthcare as well as to use the range of learning resources for healthcare, Cambridge is offering a series of Teacher Training programmes across India. Interested preparation centres in Kochi, Kottayam, and Trivandrum can register their Trainers with Cambridge to avail of this free support.
Since 2013, OET has been owned by Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment, a venture between Cambridge University Press and Assessment and Boxhill Institute. Cambridge University Press & Assessment has announced a series of support products to enable success for test takers from India. OET supports global mobility to the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, and has recently been added to the list of recognised English tests for immigration to the USA. The opening of OET centres in Kochi, Kottayam, and Trivandrum is a significant milestone for healthcare professionals in Kerala, allowing them to assess their English language skills and pursue their dreams of working in an English-speaking environment.
