Mobile-first OET prep
OET preparation delivered to your WhatsApp — between shifts, on the go.
You're a working healthcare professional preparing for the OET. You don't have hours to sit at a desktop. Our WhatsApp courses arrive in bite-sized lessons every two days, with inline quizzes and short voice-note narrations you can listen to on your commute.
Built for 2026 candidates — the single-sitting rule for ECFMG candidates, and the same 6-criteria writing assessment in use since August 2018.
In short
- Structured OET courses delivered as WhatsApp messages on a fixed cadence — no app to install, nothing to log in to.
- Each lesson is short enough to read in a 5-minute break, with an inline multiple-choice quiz graded automatically.
- You pick the hour you receive lessons. Miss a quiz reply? The course continues — no nagging.

Why WhatsApp delivery beats a desktop course
Most OET preparation platforms assume you have hours at a desk. You don't. You have 5 minutes between patients. Here's how the channel compares for working healthcare professionals.
| Feature | WhatsApp course | Desktop LMS / website | PDF e-book |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open rate within 24h | ~95% | ~20–30% | Read once, never re-opened |
| Login required | No | Yes | No |
| Works on a 5-min break | Yes — designed for it | Friction-heavy | Depends on chunk size |
| Graded quizzes | Yes — inline, instant | Yes | No |
| Voice-note narration | Yes — Dr Quill reads each lesson | Sometimes | No |
| Forced pacing | Yes — every 2 days | Self-paced (most don't finish) | Self-paced |
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app?
No. WhatsApp is the only thing you need. You message a number, we message back. Everything runs inside the chat you already have open every day.
What if I miss a quiz?
Nothing — the course continues on its schedule. You can answer late and we'll log the response, but we never nag silent students.
What hour are lessons sent?
You choose, in UTC. The bot asks once at activation: 'What hour of the day (0–23 UTC) suits you?' Most students choose 7–22.
Does this replace expert writing correction?
No. WhatsApp courses teach the structures and strategies behind a sub-test. Writing-letter correction by Dr Mariam's OET writing team catches the specific tone and content choices in your own letters.
Will my data be private?
Yes. WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted between you and our number. We log message metadata on our own server in Bogotá, never shared.
Has OET Writing marking changed in 2026?
The six writing criteria and their descriptors are unchanged since August 2018, and OET has announced no change to marking. What feels like strictness is usually Purpose, selection of content and conciseness. ECFMG also requires the four sub-tests passed in a single sitting. Our courses are written around both.
Pair a WhatsApp course with expert letter correction.
Courses teach the method. Writing-letter correction by Dr Mariam's OET writing team catches the specific choices in your own letters. Most students use both — course first, then submit letters as the exam date approaches.
