Choosing a course: Guidelines
1. There is no gain for you in starting A COURSE if you are not able to make time for it.
2. COURSES are often time-limited (= you have to finish on time). However, you may be able to pay for an extension (= more time).
3. If you carefully choose A COURSE that is the correct one for you, you are likely to reach your goal more quickly.
4. Taking A COURSE gives you specific goals. These goals are given by THE COURSE timetable.
They help you focus and move forwards.
5. Before buying any English COURSE, try to find out if you have the level of English needed to understand THE COURSE from the start.

Footnotes
- CEFR = Common European Framework of Reference for Language Teachers. This framework is designed to focus on practical use of the language in everyday situations. CEFR avoids expressing language skill according to student’s ability to pass a test. Instead, CEFR grades language ability in terms of a person’s ability to communicate with other people in the activities of daily life and work. Links to free CEFR Tests
- OET = Occupational English Test OET is for Healthcare Professionals. With OET Medicine, job-seeking Doctors generally require a result of B or higher in all 4 exam areas (Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing) . In OET Nursing, grade requirements vary between countries and according to job roles.
- OET exams: In an assessment of students by Naric (enic.org.uk) in 2021, student papers for students taking OET in different specialities assessed to be CEFR levels B1-C2. Those at the highest scores in the OET demonstrate the exceptional accuracy and key subskills that are associated with CEFR level C2.
- Job offers: Passing OET, even with good grades, does not guarantee your dream job. Working in another country will require obtaining a job offer that matches your medical qualifications and experience.
