Graduate Training Academy, Kochi & Ernakulam Trusted by healthcare professionals across Kerala. Certified trainers, profession-specific preparation, and individual feedback on every OET letter — for nurses, doctors, dentists & physiotherapists.
The Occupational English Test is not a general English exam — and that distinction changes everything about how you should prepare.
Every year, thousands of nurses, doctors, dentists, and physiotherapists from Kerala attempt the Occupational English Test — and a significant number fall short of Grade B in one sub-test, not because their English is weak, but because OET tests very specific healthcare communication skills that are different from everyday English.
The Occupational English Test (OET) is internationally recognised and administered by the Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment Trust (CBLA) — a joint venture between Cambridge English Language Assessment and Box Hill Institute, Australia. OET is recognised by healthcare regulators and employers in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Dubai, Singapore, and 45+ other countries.
Unlike IELTS or PTE, OET tests your ability to communicate in real healthcare settings. The reading passages are healthcare texts. The writing task is a profession-specific referral or discharge letter based on actual case notes. The speaking test is a clinical role-play simulating a patient consultation.
For healthcare professionals from Kerala, OET is increasingly the preferred choice — your medical vocabulary, understanding of patient communication, and familiarity with clinical scenarios are a direct advantage.

Part A: Two healthcare consultations — take notes as you listen to a health professional and patient. Part B: Six short workplace recordings (ward briefings, announcements) with MCQs. Part C: Two longer presentations by healthcare professionals with MCQs.
Part A (Expeditious): Four short healthcare texts — drug information leaflets, clinical guidelines, patient care protocols — with 20 questions requiring you to locate specific information across all four texts simultaneously. Part B (Careful): Two longer healthcare passages with 16 detailed comprehension questions.
You are given a set of case notes — patient history, test results, treatment record — and asked to write a profession-specific letter addressed to another health professional. Marked on six criteria: Purpose, Content, Conciseness and Clarity, Genre and Style, Organisation and Layout, and Language.
Two role-plays of ~5 minutes each. You play a healthcare professional; the interlocutor plays a patient or carer. Assessed on 9 criteria: Linguistic (intelligibility, fluency, grammar) AND Clinical Communication (relationship building, understanding patient's perspective, information gathering).
Three formats designed for every stage from first-time candidate to targeted re-taker.
Maximum batch size for focused attention. Morning, Evening, and Weekend batch timings at our Ernakulam centre.
Live interactive sessions with the same certified trainers. Available across all Kerala districts and NRIs.
For re-takers who need to improve in specific sub-tests. Intensive targeted preparation.
The biggest challenge for most candidates from Kerala is accent unfamiliarity. The IELTS Listening test uses recordings from British, Australian, American, New Zealand, and Canadian speakers.
We train structured note-taking — identifying keywords before the recording begins, using abbreviations, and avoiding common distractor traps.
The 60-minute Reading section is where many students lose marks by reading every word. Our training teaches skimming (reading for general idea) and scanning (locating specific information quickly).
We place particular focus on True/False/Not Given questions and handling dense academic vocabulary effectively.
The two most common errors: Task 1 responses detailing numbers without identifying trends, and Task 2 essays drifting off-topic.
Our writing training uses a structured framework. Every student's writing is reviewed individually with written feedback on Task Achievement, Coherence, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range.
Common issues: long pauses, overuse of filler words, and short answers in Part 3.
Our Speaking training includes daily one-on-one practice, weekly full mock Speaking test recordings, and dedicated vocabulary sessions covering 50 high-frequency conversational topics.
Every single letter you write is corrected with detailed feedback on all 6 OET criteria.
One-on-one role-plays every day to build confidence and empathy markers.
We limit batch sizes to ensure every student gets the trainer's focus.
