About OET Online

 

OET Online was established in 2008 by Steve MacPhail with the primary aim of helping medical professionals improve their English language competency and communication skills in order to pass the Occupational English Test (OET). The OET Online website brings 11 years of OET education and resource development into one location. The resources you will find on this website are all original and have been made in partnership with Australian and overseas trained medical professionals.

Here at OET Online we realise that health professionals are busy and well traveled individuals. Therefore, the website has been designed so that students can study at their own pace and at a time and place that suits them. All the materials are located within the website in the form of tutorials, assignments, PDF documents and audio files and there are a variety of courses to meet your needs.

OET Online Teaching Team

All OET Online teachers are experienced and passionate about teaching and will do their best to help you pass OET! We have many years of experience in teaching English for Medical Purposes and will help you develop the required communication skills for your profession.
