QALP is a quality management system standard for ESOL providers. QALP provides a unified model for a quality and professional mode of operation in English Language schools based on WCL framework of reference. WCL levels are equivalent to CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). Why is it important? The use of the QALP provides teachers with the following advantages: • 1. Access to a meaningful and useful point of reference that is understood globally and that informs their decisions on measuring language knowledge and skills. • 2. A detailed description of learning, teaching, and assessing languages, how learners compare to a set of competencies, and how they carry out communicative tasks. • 3. Teachers and learners move toward specific levels and specific goals of those levels. • 4. Teachers may want to select teaching materials (course books and resources) that are referenced to the CEFR. • 5. CEFR levels provide an indication of performance and ability to function in communicative contexts in a foreign language. • 6. There are no requirements in the CEFR; it is a framework of reference. It is up to the teacher and learner to plot a course for language development. The CEFR does not tell them what to do or how to do it. Our services for English Language Providers 1. Training staff how to hold placement tests (a complete package for holding placement tests) 2. Training teachers how to use CEFR in the classroom 3. Training teachers how to reach CEFR standards 4.

The Occupational English Test is the English language test for healthcare professionals. It assesses the language communication skills of healthcare professionals who wish to register and practice in an English-speaking environment. Why OET? To work as a healthcare professional in an English-speaking country, the first step you must overcome is gaining registration for work. If you are a non-native English speaker, this will mean proving you have a high level of English. There are a number of different tests available which you can take to provide proof of your English proficiency. Only one test is healthcare specific: OET. How OET works? OET is the English test for healthcare professionals. As such it tests your English by providing you with texts, audios, writing and speaking scenarios which are familiar to you as a healthcare professional. Other tests might ask you to listen to a recording about the invention of the light bulb or to write an essay to show your support for a particular opinion. OET tests you on real-life healthcare contexts. OET respects that you have already completed training in your healthcare profession and have possibly been working in your profession for a number of years. As a test, OET respects that you are attempting to gain registration as a healthcare professional. The tasks which you complete in the test will be beneficial to you in the workplace once you have achieved registration. Preparing for OET will directly support you for work in an English-speaking healthcare environment. No other test can do this. How many types of OET are there? OET has been developed specifically for 12 healthcare professions: Dentistry, Dietetics, Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Radiography, Speech Pathology and Veterinary Science. Find out how the Occupational English Test is based on typical workplace scenarios in your profession. 31 B2 B2 & C1 + OET Preparation Course C1 OET (Medicine) for Doctors Book B2 OET (Medicine) for Doctors Book C1 Total 120 hours (120 hours teaching + Review + Practice+ Mock Test) Free Speaking / Writing Sessions OET Tips & Tricks Sessions Review Sessions OET Techniques Practice Sessions Free Speaking / Writing Sessions OET Tips & Tricks Sessions Review Sessions OET Techniques Practice Sessions General Aims of the B2 + OET Prep.
