Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment (CBLA), the owners of the
Occupational English Test (OET), and Kaplan Test Prep, the world
leader in test preparation, today announced a collaboration on
publishing “Official Guide to OET”, the first official study guide
for the healthcare-specific exam.
OET assesses the English language skills of healthcare
professionals seeking to register and practice in an
English-speaking environment. Unlike general English tests, OET
test materials are based on real healthcare scenarios so employers
can be confident that successful candidates have the right level of
English to provide safe, high-quality patient care.
OET results are recognized by healthcare boards and councils
globally, including in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand,
Singapore and Dubai as proof of English language proficiency.
The book, available by August, will be the first guide to
prepare students for the updated OET, which launches in
September.
The OET has gained popularity, with double-digit growth
annually, as healthcare professionals increasingly look to this
exam as most appropriate for assessing their English language
ability.
“We are delighted to have worked with Kaplan Test Prep to create
the first official OET study guide. The new book is relevant, an
excellent study resource, and will no doubt assist our candidates
in developing both the English language skills and confidence to
deliver patient safety and quality care in a variety of healthcare
settings,” said Sujata Stead, CEO of CBLA.
”The collaboration with CBLA to create this official guide
allows us to produce a world-class preparation resource that
combines Kaplan's unparalleled expertise in proven test-taking
strategies with verified test-like content vetted by CBLA,” said
Steven Marietti, President, Licensure division, Kaplan Test
Prep.
