OET: An obvious choice for health professionals!

Why do an general exam like IELTS when you can do OET which is an exam designed specifically for health professionals? Furthermore, it will look good on your resume as it is becoming increasingly recognised by hospitals and health care providers as a more relevant qualification to work as a health professional. It is also accepted by many universities for post-graduate studies.

Compare

OET: A test which assesses language skill in a specific to your profession as a health professional.
IELTS: A test which assesses language skill in an academic or general context (A large number of IELTS test takers intend on studying at university).

Which is easier/ harder? 
If you have experience as a health professional either in your country or in Australia, New Zealand or an English speaking country or if you are currently studying for a health related diploma or degree, then there are many advantages in doing OET as it will be specific to your profession and you can use your medical knowledge and vocabulary.

Compare 

Listening
IELTS: 4 parts on General topics which get progressively harder.
OET: 2 parts. Part A is a medical interview which is a note-taking exam. Part B is a lecture on a health topic. Question types include gap fill, short answer, MCQ, table completion style.

The important skill to learn here is note taking as the OET recording is often faster than the IELTS recording however with less complex language. The key skill tested here is note-taking and once you master that, OET is not as hard as it seems at first.

Reading
IELTS: 3 readings MCQ, Gap Fill, True/False or Not Given questions on general topics.
OET: Part A: Summary Gap Fill; Part B MCQ on health topics.

Neither test is easy, but at least with OET you know the topics will be health related so that is an advantage.

Speaking
IELTS: 15 minute structured interview on a general topic .
OET: 14~18 minute profession specific interview where you must complete 2 Health Professional-Patient role-play tasks.

OET speaking is the clear winner here as not only is the OET exam more predictable in the type of question you are asked, it also is very similar to a real-life healthcare situation. If you have already worked in the industry before this means you will likely have already had very similar conversations with patients.

Writing
IELTS: 2 tasks, describing a graph or process & and an essay on a general topic. Not easy or much fun to prepare for!
OET:1 profession specific task, usually a referral letter based on medical case notes.

As in the other skills, you can use your medical knowledge in this section, and as it is only one task it is definitely easier to prepare for and succeed in than IELTS.

Here is an approximate guide to OET and IELTS scores.

It is clear to see that OET is an easier option in almost all areas of the exam. Many students and international nurses have been put off by the difficulty of the IELTS exam however the changes announced by the Medical Councils mean that 2018 is a fantastic time to pass the OET exam and achieve your goals.

OET recognised by the Paramedicine Board of Australia Internationally trained paramedics seeking to work in Australia are now able to prove English language proficiency by taking the Occupational English Test (OET), an English language test designed specifically for healthcare professionals. The Paramedicine Board of Australia (the Board) regulates paramedics in Australia under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (the National Law) and requires all applicants for initial registration to demonstrate English language skills to be suitable for registration.

The Board’s functions are supported by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), which is responsible for the registration and accreditation of 15 health professions in Australia under the National Law. The Board has recognised the Occupational English Test (OET) as evidence of English proficiency to register to work as a paramedic in Australia.

The English language skills registration standard for paramedics (ELS standard) sets out how an applicant for registration can demonstrate to the Board that their competence in speaking and communicating in English is sufficient to practise the paramedicine profession. OET is an international English language test that assesses the language skills of healthcare professionals seeking to register and practice in an English-speaking environment.

Currently, there is no paramedicine specific OET, and therefore, there is no OET test specified in the ELS registration standard. The Board has agreed, however, that an equivalent pass of the OET test for any other registered health profession will meet the Board’s requirements for registration.

For example, an applicant who has successfully undertaken a Pharmacy OET test and has a minimum score of B in each of the four components (listening, reading, writing and speaking) either from one test sitting, or a maximum of two test sittings in a six month period (only if they are tested in all four components in each sitting, and they achieve a minimum score of B in each component across the two sittings, and no score in any component of the test is below C), will be deemed to have met the requirements of the ELS standard for paramedicine. OET CEO Sujata Stead said: “We are pleased to welcome paramedics to our comprehensive list of Australian healthcare boards that recognise OET as evidence of English proficiency.

Together with our recognition by Australia’s Department of Home Affairs, paramedics who trained overseas can take a single test to meet both their visa and registration requirements.” “Although OET does not offer a paramedicine-specific test, unlike other English tests recognised by the Board, OET test materials are based on real healthcare scenarios and are therefore more appropriate for paramedics than a general English language test that offers no healthcare content whatsoever,” she concluded. OET is recognised by healthcare regulators in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Dubai, Malta and Ukraine for registration, employment and education purposes, as well as for immigration and visas in Australia and New Zealand.

In the UK, doctors, nurses, midwives and dentists applying for a Tier 2 (General) visa no longer need to take a separate English test if they have taken OET to register with the relevant regulatory body. For additional information, please see the Paramedicine Board of Australia website.

Immigration New Zealand re-affirms recognition of OET Internationally trained healthcare professionals seeking to work or holiday in New Zealand may continue to use their OET results as evidence of English language proficiency for visa and immigration purposes. Immigration New Zealand, the government department that looks after New Zealand’s border security and grants visas to eligible applicants, recently signed a deed of agreement engaging Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment (the owner of OET) to continue to provide English language test services for Immigration New Zealand.

The deed was signed by Immigration New Zealand and OET CEO Sujata Stead. “We have enjoyed an excellent relationship with Immigration New Zealand since they first recognised OET in 2016. The new deed is evidence of their continued trust in OET as a highly secure and reliable English language test for the purposes of meeting their English language requirements,” said Stead.

She added: “New Zealand is seeing a rise in demand for skilled healthcare workers with an aging population and increase in chronic illnesses – so there is a growing demand for skilled workers with strong communication skills.” “OET is unique among international English language tests in that it replicates real healthcare communication scenarios and the clinical communication of test-takers, to ensure they are best placed to deliver quality patient-centred care.”

Immigration New Zealand has made no changes to its OET requirements. In the Skilled Migrant Category, healthcare professionals require grade B or higher in all four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking) and test results must be no more than two years old at the time an application is lodged.

Therefore, it is clear from the above that OET is going to open the door for healthcare professionals including nurses and midwifes to the UK, Australia, NZ and Ireland.

In conclusion, this is a right time to start a nursing and hospitality academy with UK curriculum to target Au/NZ/Ireland/UK/EU/Middle East. Hence, we need govt funding.
