English for Healthcare Professionals (OET/IELTS)

Cursus beschrijving

The United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS) requires its staff to have the English language skills necessary to provide patients with effective and safe care. We provide preparation courses to help you reach the level of English required.

Healthcare professionals working in the UK, whose native language is not English, are required to pass an exam demonstrating their level of English is adequate. They must be able to communicate effectively with their colleagues and patients.

Depending on the type of NHS work being carried out, healthcare professionals will need to be registered with either the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or the General Medical Council (GMC).

Both the NMC and GMC accept both the Occupational English Test (OET) and International English Language Testing System (IELTS) to prove the level of proficiency in English.

In this course, you will work one-to-one with an expert teacher to prepare for the OET or IELTS exam. The course is designed to:
- practise the four OET skills components; listening, reading, writing and speaking.
- learn specific OET examination strategies and study practice tests and past papers to prepare for the exam.
- improve the general language skills of the participants, through a range of communicative activities
- enable students to deepen their understanding of British Life and Culture

Morning: 9:00 - 12:00
