OET Philippines schedule 2026
The paper calendar below gives test dates and booking deadlines, not a live Philippine seat list. For a computer appointment, search your Philippine city in the official OET venue finder, choose Nursing and confirm the appointments for every sub-test.
Before requesting leave or booking transport, check the venue address and the separate Speaking date and time in your booking confirmation. A date in the global calendar does not mean your preferred Philippine venue offers it.
Planning for UK registration? NMC accepts both IELTS Academic and OET. Choose practice that matches the test you plan to take; a Nursing role-play and case-note letter let you try OET tasks before paying for review. See NMC requirements and OET Nursing tasks.

How to book OET in the Philippines
- Confirm the score and test mode that your regulator accepts on the accepted countries page.
- Search your city on the official OET booking page.
- Choose your profession, the mode and the date.
- Check the total before paying, then keep your confirmation.
OETAce does not book exams.
Check the nursing route before you book
For Filipino nurses, the receiving regulator sets the English requirement. Your home country does not create a separate OET pass mark.
- UK: the NMC accepts IELTS Academic and OET. Use our NMC nursing requirements to check the required skills, combining conditions and validity.
- Australia: Ahpra accepts OET on paper or computer at a test centre; OET@Home is not accepted. Check the Ahpra / NMBA nursing route for the requirements that apply to your test date.
Meeting an English requirement is one part of registration. Ask your employer which registration route and documents it needs; a job offer or a course certificate does not itself establish eligibility.
Official English-test acceptance checked 2026-11-11. See each linked requirements page for its dated score rules.
Try Nursing practice before choosing a course

- Free Nursing writing checker: select Nursing and an original task, write from its notes, then check your letter. One full marking is free without an account.
After the free practice, compare practice passes if you want more AI feedback and practice-bank access. These passes are for OETAce practice; book the OET test separately with OET.

Questions candidates ask
How much is the OET exam fee in the Philippines?
The full test is AU$587, about PHP 25,431 at the 2026-11-11 rate. OET charges in its own booking system, so confirm the total at checkout and check what your bank adds.
Where can I take OET in the Philippines?
OET's directory listed venues in Bacolod, Cagayan De Oro, Cebu City, Davao, Iloilo city, Laguna when we checked on 2026-10-24. Availability changes, so search your city on the OET booking page.
When do I get my result?
OET says paper results for the Philippines can arrive from about 5 days after the test date. Computer results can come in as little as 48 hours after all four sub-tests, with 95% released within 6 calendar days. These are indicative, not guaranteed.
Does the Philippines have a different OET syllabus?
No. The test is the same. Your country affects the venue, available dates and the amount your bank charges. The score you need depends on the organisation receiving your result.
How do I check the OET Philippines schedule?
Use the paper calendar for published dates and deadlines, then confirm your profession, city and seat with OET. For computer tests, select an appointment in the official booking system and check Speaking separately.
Can Filipino nurses use OET for NMC UK or Ahpra registration?
Both accept OET as English evidence, subject to their own requirements. Ahpra requires an accepted test-centre format and does not accept OET@Home. Check the receiving regulator before booking; English evidence alone does not complete registration.
