Update: June 4th, 2020
On 2 June, OET reviewed the safety and risk for running the test in the venues that are currently listed as open. For affected test days from 2 June onwards, please see the updated dates in our OET Exam Dates article.
OET also continues with the development of OET@Home, aiming to launch a computer-based version of OET that enables you to take the test safely from home through remote proctoring. If you haven’t already, check out our post- ”OET@Home-How you can complete the OET at home during the lockdown” that can help you prepare for this change!

Official update: 27 March 2020
Sadly, the situation world-wide has worsened to the extent that we have had to make the difficult decision to suspend testing at all of our venues for the entire month of April. This means that both the 4 April and 19 April tests will not run (3 April and 18 April in the US, Canada and South America).
Official update: 19 March 2020
Global: https://www.occupationalenglishtest.org/coronavirus-update/
We understand the anxieties and concerns of future test takers and hope we can provide some clarity during these uncertain times.
Do you have an OET test scheduled in the upcoming months?
E2Language will keep you updated on the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the potential impact on students trying to take their OET test.
- Suspend all OET testing in HK.
- Suspend selected venues in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, USA and Europe.
- All impacted candidates are being advised by email as soon as a decision regarding their test venue is made.
- If the OET test is going ahead but the government strongly recommends that no mass gatherings occur, OET will offer a free deferral or a full refund upon request.
