The challenge runs for six weeks and is a highly interactive, fun and rewarding learning journey. Candidates will be invited to take on weekly English challenges including quizzes and word searches – designed to improve English reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
OET CEO Sujata Stead said:
‘These are really challenging times, but learning doesn’t have to stop. We’ve developed these weekly challenges for ambitious OET candidates who need to prove they can communicate effectively and safely in a healthcare setting. The challenges will allow candidates to continue to improve their English language skills and get them ready for when tests become available again. They will help candidates to build confidence and increase their chances of passing OET when the disruption ends.’
