English Language Criteria

An important part of the assessment process is the applicant's ability to provide evidence of English language proficiency.

This evidence can be provided either by having English as a first language, having completed occupational therapy education in English, or achieving an accepted result on either the IELTS or OET English language tests.

At its meeting on 26 June 2006 the Committee resolved to amend the accepted result for the English language test.

Results must now be EITHER:

• A minimum score of 7 in each of the four components (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking) in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination (Academic Module);
  OR
  
• An overall pass in the Occupational English Test (OET) administered by the Centre for Adult Education with grades A or B only in each of the four components.
