• What is OET?

OET was designed in the late 1980s by Professor Tim McNamara, under the guidance of NOOSR. The Occupational English Test is an English language test for people interested in the healthcare sector. This examination generally tests the communication skill of healthcare professionals. OET is available in 12 professions namely, dentistry, dietetics, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, podiatry, radiography, speech pathology, and veterinary science.
