We’re excited to announce we’ve launched four new skills courses designed for experienced candidates who are planning to sit OET soon and looking for authentic practice material and expert advice.  

We know how valuable high-quality practice materials are for you, and that’s why we’ve introduced a skills course for each sub-test packed full of practice content! Each course contains plenty of practical tasks and study resources. Our Education team has designed the courses to ensure you’ll have guidance on the criteria and learning skills required to succeed on test day.   

Our courses are self-paced and allow you to study anytime, on any device. You can choose to complete all the courses or pick specific skills you want to boost before your test.
