International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a comprehensive test of English language that is required for a nurse to work in the United Kingdom. English test comprises of key parts that comprising of writing, reading, speaking and listening. This course designed and developed according to individual needs and each candidate is advised about the duration of preparation needed for improving their competencies to attain a score of 7 in all parts which is the requirement placed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council ( UK).
Occupational English Test (OET) is an alternative English test for doctors and nurses, the Occupational English Test. Unlike the IELTS, it is a test that is specific to the medical sector. And as the bulk of the test is made up of medical language and terminology, the content is considered more relevant for doctors and nurses who are experts in their field to pass.
