OET Preparation Course Outline

Accelerated OET Preparation Course

The accelerated OET Preparation Course is designed for students who are about to take the OET and would like some last minute preparation. It is ideal for those who have taken the OET before but not reached their goal in all subtests. We have broken the course into four, three hour sessions, each of which will focus on one area of the OET: Listening, Writing, Reading, or Speaking. Students can choose which sessions they would like to enroll in based on the areas they feel they need help in. Listening will be on Monday, writing on Tuesday, .reading on Wednesday, and speaking on Thursday in the week before the OET Test. This course is great for those who are already working outside of Hamilton and can only get a short amount of time off. For more information, please refer:
