At OET, we know every healthcare professional’s journey is unique. Whether you're a nurse dreaming of working in Canada, a doctor aiming to practice in the UK, or a pharmacist setting your sights on Australia, OET is here to support your global ambitions.

And now, exploring the possibilities has never been easier!

We’re excited to introduce the new Who Recognises the OET Test section on our website—a user-friendly feature designed to help you uncover where your OET Test results can open doors for your career. This new addition makes it simple to see which healthcare regulators, employers and educational institutions worldwide accept the OET Test as proof of English language proficiency.

A world of opportunities at your fingertips

With OET, you can open doors to a global career. More than 550 organisations in over 20 countries recognise OET Test results as a trusted measure of English language skills for healthcare professionals. From regulatory bodies to government departments, professional associations, and educational institutions, OET’s acceptance spans a wide range of healthcare sectors.

This recognition isn’t just for regulators like the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in the UK or the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) in the USA. Many employers, training institutions and immigration departments also trust the test to verify your readiness to work in English-speaking environments. Whether you're exploring opportunities in Canada, New Zealand, Ireland or Australia, the OET Test is a stepping stone to achieving your career goals.

Know the requirements

Different organisations and countries set their own minimum OET Test score requirements, depending on the profession and role. For instance, a nurse applying to practice in Australia might need specific scores in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. It’s important to check these requirements before taking the test so you can focus your preparation on meeting your goals.

How to use the tool

The new search tool is simple and convenient:

• Visit the Who Recognises the OET Test page.
• Select your healthcare profession—doctor, nurse, dentist, pharmacist, or others.
• Choose your desired country.
