English Language Assessment

English Language Assessment Services for Healthcare Professionals

SLC, the UK’s leading provider of English language training services to the global healthcare sector, offers organisations detailed and cost-effective language assessments for medical professionals.

These assessments enable healthcare employers, recruitment companies and medical education institutions to understand a test-taker’s current level and what training is required for a learner to achieve a required level.

Assessments may relate to the international OET, IELTS, OSCE or Simulated Surgery tests required by regulatory bodies, or be developed for a specific purpose or project.

The SLC OET Medicine and Nursing practice tests were written by experienced OET test writers. They are very similar to an official OET test and accurately assess your score as if you were to sit an actual test.
