The OET nursing course from Dr Hesham is a recorded, nursing-specific programme for internationally educated nurses. It covers Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking with nursing letters and role-plays, personalised letter correction and a live 1:1 Speaking session, so you can work towards the NMC score: B in Listening, Reading and Speaking and C+ in Writing.
The course is built for nurses who need OET Nursing for registration abroad and want one clear route instead of scattered free material.
If you are an internationally educated nurse working towards NMC registration in the UK, this course trains the exact OET Nursing tasks you will meet, alongside your CBT and OSCE preparation. The UK pathway guide explains the full NMC route.
Writing is where many nurses repeat the exam. The course teaches case-note selection, letter structure and professional tone for nursing readers, then corrects your letters so you can see what still costs marks.
OET Nursing is also used for nursing registration outside the UK. Check your destination in the Australia pathway guide or the Gulf pathway guide, then prepare with the same nursing method.
For the UK, the NMC asks for OET Nursing with grade B (350) in Listening, Reading and Speaking and C+ (300) in Writing. Other destinations set their own rules, so check the right regulator first.
| Destination | Regulator | OET requirement | Official source |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | NMC | B (350) in Listening, Reading and Speaking; C+ (300) in Writing. Results from two sittings may be combined only under NMC rules. | NMC: accepted OET results |
| Australia | Nursing and Midwifery Board (AHPRA) | For tests from 23 April 2026: Listening 350, Reading 360, Writing 350, Speaking 360 (all National Boards). OET@Home is not accepted. See score requirements. | Australia pathway guide |
| Qatar and the Gulf | Qatar DHP and other Gulf regulators | Requirements differ by country and licensing route. | Gulf pathway guide |
Choose your Nursing package. The price is the same for Paper-Based and Computer-Based candidates. Nursing has its own packages: the Classic Nursing OET Course and the Nursing Premium Bundle. The Full OET Course + Website Practice, Complete OET Bundle + TutorBook, Ultimate and Full Crash tiers are not sold to Nursing.
Recorded Nursing course, study materials and SAMI 24/7.
The course plus 5 personal Writing letters, a private Speaking session, TutorBook and the Basic English Course.
There are two nursing packages. Both include the full recorded Nursing OET course with 6 months of access; the Nursing Premium Bundle adds personalised feedback and extra material.
The complete recorded course for nurses who want lessons and practice material without bundled assessments.
The most complete nursing package, for nurses who also want a stronger English foundation and extra exam material.
The course is self-paced, but the route is fixed: diagnose, learn, get corrected, test yourself, then book.
OET Nursing Writing gives you 45 minutes (5 minutes of reading time and 40 minutes of writing) to turn a set of case notes into one letter of about 180–200 words. The reader is usually a health professional who will continue the patient’s care.
Hand a patient over to a community or district nurse, a GP or a family carer, with the care plan, medication changes and follow-up the reader must act on.
Move a patient to a rehabilitation unit, care home or another ward, focusing on current condition, mobility, risks and ongoing nursing needs.
Refer a patient to a GP, physiotherapist, dietitian or other professional, stating clearly why they are being referred and what you are asking for.
Purpose, content, conciseness and clarity, genre and style, organisation and layout, and language. A clear purpose in the opening line and a specific final request protect marks in several criteria at once.
The most common reason nurses miss C+ is selection: copying too many case notes instead of choosing what the reader needs. The course trains a repeatable selection method on nursing tasks, and the OET Writing tips show the core rules. If you already have letters written, OET writing correction shows you exactly what to fix.
OET Speaking has two role-plays. You get 3 minutes to prepare each card and about 5 minutes to complete it, with the interlocutor playing the patient or a relative.
Examiners score clinical communication (relationship building, understanding the patient’s perspective, providing structure, gathering information and giving information) as well as intelligibility, fluency, appropriate language and grammar. A calm structure and patient-friendly explanations matter more than advanced vocabulary.
The recorded lessons give you nursing cards with expected ideas and useful language, and the live 1:1 session lets you rehearse them with feedback. Read the OET Speaking tips for the role-play method before your session.
Listening and Reading are the same for every profession, so nurses sit exactly the same papers as other candidates. What changes your score is method, not luck.
Part A is note completion from two consultations, Part B is short workplace extracts and Part C is longer presentations or interviews. Train prediction before each extract and write exactly what you hear, with correct spelling. See the OET Listening tips.
Part A is a strict 15-minute scanning task across four short texts; Parts B and C test detail, gist and inference. Use keyword anchors in Part A and eliminate distractors in Parts B and C. See the OET Reading tips.
The course practice library gives you timed papers with answer keys and rationales, and the separate Listening and Reading practice packages add more papers when you need volume before the exam.
Every package can be extended when you need more feedback. Add-ons are tied to your active course and are the fastest way to fix the sub-test that is holding your score back.
Add 3, 5, 7 or 10 letter assessments to an active course. Each letter is marked manually with an estimated score, detailed correction and voice-note feedback via WhatsApp. You can choose your own letters or follow recall-recommended tasks.
Book one or two live 1:1 Speaking assessment sessions. Each session covers different OET cards and ends with detailed performance feedback, so you hear exactly what to change before the real role-plays.
Sit 1, 3 or 5 full OET mock exams across all four sub-tests. Writing and Speaking are assessed with detailed feedback, Listening and Reading are auto-marked, and each mock package is valid for 6 months.
