How Long Are OET Results Valid For?


What is the validity of your OET exam results?

When do they expire?

Most medical boards such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) state that…

…OET results are valid for two years.

This means that there might be a deadline for you to apply for your exam and you should take this into consideration before booking and sitting your OET test.

You should contact the relevant authority to check their exact validity period and whether they will expire.

IELTS results are also valid for two years.

The official OET website has a useful list of regulatory authorities on their website. If you apply for registration with a governing body such as the GMC with expired results, then your application will be refused.

If your results have expired, you will need to take the full OET test again.
