Specialist Language Courses (SLC) is proud to announce a new partnership with the University of Sharjah’s Clinical & Surgical Training Center (CSTC) — one of the region’s most prestigious hubs for medical education, simulation, and professional skills development.
Through this collaboration, CSTC will deliver SLC’s Medical English and OET preparation programmes to students, alumni, and medical professionals across the UAE, as an official recognised partner and distributor. The partnership brings together SLC’s internationally trusted English for Healthcare expertise with CSTC’s deep connections across the region’s medical community.
Healthcare professionals in the UAE face an increasingly international environment — with English the common language for clinical communication, collaboration, and global mobility. SLC’s Medical English and OET programmes are designed specifically to help healthcare workers build the language, confidence, and communicative precision needed to succeed in international exams and real-world healthcare contexts.
Through this partnership, CSTC participants will gain access to OET Medicine and OET Nursing tutor-led groups, supported by SLC’s specialist teachers and evidence-based curriculum. Learners will benefit from small-group live sessions, practical roleplays, and targeted feedback designed to mirror real-life professional challenges.
The University of Sharjah’s Clinical & Surgical Training Center is renowned for its advanced facilities and its dedication to continuous medical education. By integrating SLC’s courses into its offerings, CSTC is expanding its support for clinicians and students aiming to achieve international English certification and enhance their communication skills.
“We are thrilled to partner with CSTC at the University of Sharjah,” said Peter Rodway, Director of SLC. “Their reputation for excellence and innovation in clinical education makes them the ideal partner for SLC in the UAE. Together, we can help even more healthcare professionals achieve their goals and make a real difference in the quality of care delivered across the region.”
This partnership is part of SLC’s broader strategy to build global networks that connect language education with professional healthcare development. From the UK to the Middle East and Asia, SLC continues to collaborate with universities, hospitals, and training providers to deliver world-class language education that supports international mobility, professional confidence, and patient safety.
