FAQ

What minimum OET score do I need for registration in English-speaking countries?

Most healthcare regulators require Grade B (350–440) across all subtests. UK nurses need Grade B in Listening, Reading, and Speaking with C+ in Writing, while doctors usually need Grade B in all parts. Requirements vary by country, so always verify with the specific healthcare authority before taking the exam.

How long should I prepare before taking the OET exam?
Preparation time depends on your English level and familiarity with healthcare communication. Professionals with intermediate proficiency usually benefit from four to eight weeks of structured training. A diagnostic test at the start helps set your personalised study plan and timeline based on your current skill level and target score.
Can I retake individual OET subtests if I don't achieve the required scores?
Yes, you can retake individual subtests rather than the full exam. If you meet the required grade in some sections, you only need to reattempt those needing improvement. Scores from different dates can be combined, but they must fall within the validity period accepted by your target country’s regulatory body.
What is the difference between OET and IELTS for healthcare registration?
OET focuses on healthcare-specific English used in clinical settings, patient consultations, and professional communication. IELTS measures general academic English across broader contexts. Most healthcare regulators accept both, but many professionals choose OET because it directly reflects real workplace situations and aligns more closely with their daily practice.
How soon can I receive my OET results after the examination?
For OET on Computer or OET at Home, results are released within ten business days. Paper-based test results take around twelve to sixteen business days. Candidates can access their scores via their OET account and download the official Statement of Results for submission to relevant regulatory authorities.
Does Edoxi Training Institute administer the actual OET exam?

No. Edoxi provides expert OET preparation but does not conduct the official exam. Students must register separately on the official OET website and select an approved testing center. Our course focuses on building the skills, strategies, and confidence required to achieve the target scores in the official assessment.

Can our hospital arrange customised OET preparation for multiple staff members?

Yes. Edoxi offers customized corporate OET training for hospitals and healthcare groups. Sessions can be held on-site or online with flexible schedules to suit shift timings. Group diagnostics identify shared learning needs, and content can focus on specific subtests or communication skills relevant to your organisation’s goals.

What healthcare professions does the OET examination cover?
OET caters to twelve professions: Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Dietetics, Podiatry, Radiography, Speech Pathology, and Veterinary Science. Listening and Reading tests are common for all, while Writing and Speaking are customised to reflect the communication requirements of each healthcare profession.
How does the speaking assessment work in the OET exam?

The Speaking test includes two five-minute role-plays where you take your professional role and the interlocutor acts as a patient or relative. You get three minutes to prepare before each scenario. The assessment evaluates linguistic accuracy, fluency, empathy, and clarity in healthcare-specific communication.

What happens if I need to extend my preparation beyond the initial four weeks?
The course can be extended from four weeks to eight weeks for additional practice. This flexibility supports learners needing more time to strengthen weaker subtests. Extensions are arranged with the trainer based on mock test results, progress evaluations, and personal learning goals.
What are the prerequisites needed to join Edoxi’s OET Exam Preparation Course in Dubai?
This OET preparation course welcomes healthcare professionals at various stages of their language learning journey. A basic working knowledge of English is recommended, as the course builds upon foundational language skills to develop profession-specific communication competencies.
Is OET clubbing possible for Dubai?
Yes, OET score clubbing is possible for Dubai, specifically for authorities like the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and Department of Health (DOH), but you must meet strict criteria: tests must be within 6 months, all scores must be C+ (300+) in both sittings, and the combined result must show at least a B in all modules (Listening, Reading, Speaking, Writing).
