Is LearnLingo.ai an official OET provider?
No. LearnLingo.ai provides preparation practice and communication feedback, not official OET scores, official test delivery, medical advice, or credential-awarding authority.
What healthcare scenarios can I practise?
Learners can rehearse patient consultations, handovers, explanations, reassurance, information gathering, information giving, and profession-specific vocabulary in spoken role plays.
Where should I verify OET requirements?
Use LearnLingo.ai for speaking practice, then check OET or the relevant regulator, employer, university, or visa route for current rules, accepted scores and registration requirements.
