My OET Professional Development Certificates Vol. 1

 

The 2025 PD: Giving Feedback on OET Writing certificate, awarded by teach.oet.com, is part of OET’s Professional Development (PD) series designed to enhance the instructional skills of teachers working with healthcare professionals. This focused training equips educators with the strategies and confidence to deliver high-quality, targeted feedback on students’ writing tasks in preparation for the OET Writing sub-test.

In this course, teachers learn how to:

• Apply the OET Writing assessment criteria with accuracy and consistency

• Identify and explain common learner errors in grammar, tone, structure, and task fulfillment

• Prioritize the most important issues in student writing to avoid overwhelming them

• Provide both formative (in-progress) and summative (final) feedback in a professional, supportive way

• Guide learners to make self-aware improvements using structured correction techniques

The course emphasizes clarity, relevance, and empathy in feedback, recognizing that healthcare professionals often come from non-academic backgrounds and benefit from constructive, practical instruction.

Successfully completing this training reflects a teacher’s ability to not only assess writing accurately but also coach learners toward long-term improvement—a crucial part of helping candidates pass the exam and succeed in real-world medical communication.
