Credit for Prior Learning and Discounted Fees

If you completed Foundation Modules (1 – 3) as part of another QAI Level-2 examination preparation training course (e.g., Certificate in Teaching IELTS), you will not need to repeat these components; and, providing you have passed all three end-of-module tests, you will be able to use your credits on the Teaching OET course, which therefore will be both shorter and even more economical for you. Applicants with proven experience in teaching OET exam preparation classes will not be required to complete the Foundation Modules. You can also prove your OET knowledge and experience by completing a test as part of your application. You will find the link to the test on the application form.
