OET preparation at Commonwealth School of Languages focuses on giving you a clear understanding of the OET and its requirements while improving the four macro skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking. You will receive a clear guideline and feedback on your ability to communicate accurately in a clinical context, write profession specific documents, read and comprehend complex texts, and speak and listen in a variety of professional situations.
This course is structured around a series of mock tests to give you practice in the skills required to perform efficiently in the actual test.
