National, 18th March 2025: Indian healthcare professionals aspiring to work abroad can face delays due to the thorough nature of visa and professional registration processes. Understanding the crucial impact that wait times have on their careers, OET, the global leader in English language testing for healthcare professionals, is proud to announce a breakthrough – delivering paper test results in as little as 5 days. This makes OET the fastest paper based English language test in the industry, setting a new benchmark for efficiency and service.
Previously, the result processing timeline for OET paper tests took about 14 working days to process. Now, with significant improvements in its processes and supply chain, OET has cut this period down to as little as 5 days. No other test provider in the market offers such a swift turnaround, giving Indian healthcare professionals a competitive edge in their global career aspirations.
“OET is committed to ensuring that healthcare professionals have a seamless experience when they take our test. By reducing paper-based result turnaround times, we are helping them move forward with their plans, whether it’s securing a visa, obtaining employment letters, or planning relocation, without unnecessary delays,” said Amit Upadhyay, Regional Director at OET.
