Professional Medical English and communication courses for healthcare professionals

Support your staff with courses that improve their ability to communicate and use English at work.

SLC works with hospitals and healthcare recruitment companies around the world to improve the professional clinical English of their staff as well as to prepare them for the OET and IELTS tests.

Medical English courses target the profession-specific needs of healthcare professionals so they can care for patients, work in international teams, keep up with research, make presentations, and work internationally.

OET and IELTS preparation courses enable candidates to achieve the scores they need to work and study in English-speaking countries.

Your branded learning platform

All organisations have a branded area on the Learning Management System, where learners and administrators access the materials and learning performance data.

Here you can quickly see what your staff have done and what their scores are. For tutored courses, you can check on lesson attendance and progress at the touch of a button. Detailed performance reports can be shared with others.
