In CEC we offer a specific Occupational English Test preparation course designed to provide optimal preparation for candidates who wish to take the OET exam. OET is an internationally recognised English language test that assesses the language communication skills of healthcare professionals who seek to register and practise in an English-speaking healthcare environment.

This course is for people who wish to:

  • Prepare and take the OET Exam
  • Learn from experienced OET teachers
  • Gain experience and insights into the exam format
  • Perfect their test taking techniques
  • Prepare for the exam in a short timeframe

Studying the OET Exam Preparation programme with Cork English College offers students the opportunity to study English while making friends and experiencing the rich cultural heritage Cork has to offer.

You can book and pay for your official OET exam here: https://www.occupationalenglishtest.org/places/cork-english-college/

The CEC  Operational English Test Ireland Preparation course explores the language required to facilitate communication in a professional healthcare environment, while classroom tasks simulate real workplace scenarios in a healthcare context. The course is the ideal preparation for those looking to succeed and reach their required goals in the OET exam.

Prior to the course, all students complete a needs analysis form, which gives the CEC team valuable information about each participant’s individual needs and enables us to effectively meet their requirements.

CEC is an official test & preparation centre for OET. We are one of the few centres in Ireland to offer both for the OET.
