The OET exam is accepted, along with IELTS, as the first step in their journey to become registered with GMC. After that, they must sit PLAB 1 and PLAB 2. The OET course is very much in demand but there is a great lack of provision, and ours is one of the very few courses available. One of the attractions of the OET is that, although it has the same papers as IELTS (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Listening) all the topics in all parts of the exam are connected to the medical profession and this can help them in their future work in this country as well as be more reassuring in the exam situation itself. The OET exam includes 12 healthcare professions altogether, and the Listening and Reading papers are taken by all candidates.
