Level assessment, OET/IELTS/OSCE preparation and medical English services for recruitment companies
Get clear on international candidates’ English level, what they need to do to be recruitment ready, and what language and communication services you can offer them and their employers.
SLC supports healthcare recruitment companies in their work with candidates around the world – from doctors to nurses, AHPs, and carers.
SLC’s services make it easy for recruitment companies to understand the English level of candidates, to recommend the most effective training programmes, and provide pastoral language and OSCE support.
SLC works as your language partner, providing your clients with expert advice and consultancy, so smoothing the international recruitment process.
SLC uses online language testing to assess the English language level and exam-readiness of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. Tests are standardised, accurate and delivered to healthcare professionals wherever they are.
Assessments allow us to provide clear guidance on how close candidates are to the scores they need in international tests such as OET and IELTS, and therefore what the most effective training programme consists of, so enabling timely recruitment and training decisions to be made.
Previous test scores allow us to advise you how much additional training is required to enable candidates to achieve the scores required.
SLC’s online courses allow expert exam-preparation teachers to work with hundreds of candidates around the world, either in one-to-one or in group lessons.
Courses are designed to meet candidate needs and language level. Lesson timetables are flexible and timetables are set to meet recruitment logistics. Candidate progress is tracked closely with key milestones and progress assessment throughout. You can login at any time and check your candidates’ progress.
Materials are multi-media, work on all devices, and are mapped to course syllabi. Teachers use the latest online teaching pedagogy. Courses produce consistently excellent results.
Give your candidates a strong start to their new lives in the UK with SLC’s Living and Working in the UK courses. The courses – with editions for doctors, nurses, AHPs and carers – contain essential knowledge on UK culture, including food, transport, leisure, festivals and the weather; units on accents, dialects and idioms; and a practical guide to schools, housing, banking and driving.
Living and Working in the UK looks at the NHS, regulators, revalidation, trade unions and the Equality Act 2010. Finally, each edition has a focused section on essential communication skills to use with patients and colleagues.
These courses allow your candidates to hit the ground running when they arrive in the UK and settle quickly and successfully into their new lives.
As some recruitment companies open OSCE training centres for overseas trained nurses, SLC offers a 60-hour digital preparation course designed to support OSCE trainers in maximising first time pass rates.
Preparation for the Nursing OSCE was written in partnership with Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. It includes the new scenarios and skills introduced in November 2022 and the changes announced for September 2024. It can be taken on PC, tablet and mobile phone.
The course covers all OSCE topics and scenarios on APIE, Clinical Skills, Professional Values and Evidence of Best Practice. It details the marking criteria and gives clear guidance on how to pass each station. It also highlights the common areas of failure, so candidates are fully prepared.
All recruitment companies have the option of a branded area on the Learning Management System, where learners, administrators and advisors access the materials and learning performance data.
Here you can quickly see what your candidates have done and what their scores are. For tutored courses, you can check on lesson attendance and progress at the touch of a button. Detailed performance reports can be shared with others.
