Helping you succeed in your medical career

Preparing for your exam with British Study Centres helps you build the skills you need to become more confident when working in healthcare in the UK and Ireland.

The Occupational English Test is an English language test for healthcare professionals – it is not a test of your medical knowledge.

There are four parts of the test: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Each part of the test assesses your understanding of English in a workplace-related healthcare context. The speaking and writing sub-tests are specific to your profession.

The examination assesses your ability to communicate effectively in English in a healthcare context. This differs from other forms of English language examination like the IELTS.
