Fill your UK health and social care skills gap

HIGH QUALITY OET PREPARATION COURSES DELIVERED BY QUALIFIED EXPERTS

Open up your recruitment pipeline

• One of the biggest bottlenecks in overseas recruitment is recruits’ lack of a recognised certificate of language competency

• Designed for the healthcare sector and covering 12 separate healthcare roles, the Occupational English Test (OET) is the preferred test of language competency.

• It is recognised by the NMC, GMC, GPhC among others

Offering OET preparation courses will increase your number of potential recruits

The global shortage of healthcare professionals means an increased competition for the limited pool of overseas talent. Offering high quality OET training will give you the edge in todays competitive recruitment environment.

“I took the OET course for one week then I took the OET exam and passed on my first attempt.”
