SUCCESS STORIES
Nursing - Course: DO-IT Programme 2022 Read More
My OET journey hasn't been an easy one but it was worth it. I started preparing for my OET in April 2023 and on my first sitting I passed listening, speaking and writing with good results but only got 240 in reading, a score I couldn't club. I managed to forge ahead and in June I took my 2nd exam once again I passed the other 3 modules and failed reading with a 300 score.
During my 6 months of preparation, I attended many sessions that were delivered by the NEU Professionals English Team including OET DO-IT and relearn sessions, as well as watching past recordings of lessons that are available on NEU professionals candidate sharepoint area. I Improved not only in my reading but the other 3 modules too. These lessons gave me a amazing life changing experience and today I'm confident to say I did it ❤️
With determination, hard work and prayer you can conquer anything. To everyone who's struggling with OET please read through this every time you feel discouraged and say to yourself you've got this 🙏. Wishing you nothing but the best 💗
Nursing - Course: DO-IT Programme 2022 Read More
My name is Vivian, a female Zambian who had attempted and failed the English exams on three occasions before I signed up for the DO-IT programme in November 2022. The training involved actual English coaching, interview preparation along with a good number of support webinars.
The Programme was entirely free and a very comprehensive package was delivered for a period of 4 weeks. The programme was tailored to fit in my busy schedule as the morning sessions would be repeated in the evening as well. This enabled me to choose which time was appropriate for me each day.
Before I signed up for the DO-IT programme, I never thought I would ever get an 'A' in my OET Reading but alas... I did it. Thanks to this well coordinated programme i was able to pass my OET with a good margin. Further, the interview preparation gave me the confidence to face the interviewers and get an offer for my dream job. I therefore recommend the DO-IT Programme for everyone aiming on pass their OET Exams.

I focused much towards my reading. The DO-IT Programme was very useful for it. They explained how to score more and provided some tips too. They provided some time to ask questions and I request to increase the time period to answer the questions. Thank you very much for organizing it!

The course covers a wide range of essential care, from introducing yourself to discussing pain, pressure area care, breathing difficulties, infection control, falls and injuries, to administering medications, IV therapy, post-operative and end-of-life care. The units cover medical terminology, patient and staff interactions, hospital language and documents, and much more. In addition, at the end of each unit there is a quiz to make sure you have understood the most important language items.
During the course, you study all aspects of nursing language, including vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and functional skills. There is a very wide range of activities, including interactive recording where you record and listen to yourself in conversation with a patient. The program is strongly practical and is regularly reviewed so the content remains relevant and up to date.
