Choosing a course

OET online course: which option suits you?

The right OET online course depends on what you lack. Live classes suit candidates who need a teacher and a timetable, self-paced courses suit those who need the skills explained, and practice with feedback suits those who know the format but are not yet reaching their score. Free lessons and tests can show you which one you need.

Find out which you need in one sitting

  1. Take a timed Listening test and Reading test.
  2. Write one letter from a writing sample, then compare it with the model.
  3. Record one role-play on your phone and listen back.

If you do not understand why your answers were wrong, you need teaching. If you understand but keep running out of time or missing marks, you need more practice with feedback.

What OETAce offers

OETAce is a practice site rather than a live course. There are free short lessons, free tests, and a six-week plan. Letters marked by AI and role-plays with an AI patient are available after sign-in, within free limits and practice passes. Its scores are practice estimates, not OET results.

Teachers can use our free class packs and homework links alongside their own lessons. To compare providers on price and feedback, see the best sites for OET preparation.

Questions candidates ask

Is there a free OET online course?

Yes. OETAce has free short lessons with practice at /learn, and OET publishes its own free preparation material on its website. Free material can take you a long way if you also get honest feedback on your Writing and Speaking.

Do I need OET classes to pass?

No test rule requires classes. They help if you need structure, or if you have nobody to correct your letters and role-plays. Take a timed test first so that you know whether a class would be solving the right problem.

How much do OET online courses cost?

Prices vary widely by provider, country and whether a teacher is involved, so compare what is included rather than the headline price. OETAce practice passes are shown with regional prices on the pricing page.

How do I choose a good OET teacher or class?

Ask for a sample lesson, how many letters and role-plays are corrected, and how quickly. Avoid anyone who promises a pass or offers recalled test papers.
