OET Eligibility

The eligibility for OET at home is same as other test formats under Occupational English Test (OET on Paper, OET on Computer at a venue). We have mentioned few of them here:

• You must be a healthcare professional (or nearing completion of your qualification).
• For Indian test-takers, a valid, original passport is mandatory.
• There's no specific age restriction to take the test.
• OET does not set a minimum English proficiency level to register for the test, but the test itself is designed for intermediate to advanced English users.
• You don't need a job offer or university admission to be eligible to take the OET.

No, there is not any set eligibility for taking OET. The exam conducting body does not set a minimum English level for eligibility to take the test. However, the exam assesses communication skills required for healthcare. That's why, English proficiency is generally necessary to achieve the required scores for nursing registration.

No, you do not need to have any work experience. OET itself does not have a minimum work experience requirement to be eligible to take test. It may happen that the regulatory body or employer you are applying to might have their own experience requirements for registration.

Yes, students who haven't graduated yet can take the OET. There is no eligibility fixed by exam conducting body yet. In short, yes you can appear for the exam. However, some hospitals and universities may only accept OET scores after graduation. Always check the rules of the place you're applying to before taking the test.
