What podiatrists get
Built around the scenarios podiatrists actually face.
A podiatrist in a high-risk foot clinic assessing a diabetic patient with a hot, swollen foot and counselling on Charcot foot risk.
Every OET criterion, scored
Intelligibility, fluency, appropriateness, grammar, empathy, patient perspective, structure, gathering, giving — plus a 0–500 overall and an A–E grade.
Pronunciation diagnostics
Industry-grade pronunciation analysis surfaces the specific words that hurt your score — including the clinical vocabulary podiatrists say every day.
Cue verification per task
Each role-card has 4–5 tasks. We verify each one against your transcript with the exact quote you used — hit, partial, or miss.
Targets podiatrists' weak spots
Most podiatrists lose marks in the same places: information giving (vascular and neuropathic terms), empathy around amputation discussions, providing structure for chronic management plans. The recommender targets these criteria first.
Podiatry Writing letters, marked
Write a podiatry referral letter against a profession-specific case, then get it scored on all six official OET Writing criteria — with inline annotations and band-5 + band-7 model answers.
Privacy by default
Your recordings, transcripts, and scores stay on infrastructure we control. Export everything, delete your account, and your data is gone.
Where podiatrists use it
Accepted by the regulators podiatrists register with.
OET is recognised by healthcare regulators in every major destination. Practice on OET Live and you're preparing for the exact same Speaking format every one of them assesses.

What each board asks for
You may not need Grade B in all four.
Podiatry boards in Australia and New Zealand both require Grade B. The UK's HCPC and Ireland's CORU accept OET without publishing a grade on OET's list — shown here so the two biggest European destinations are not silently absent.

- Compiled from OET's own list of recognising organisations, captured 2026-08-21. One row per country: where several bodies gate registration, the table shows the one that registers podiatrists specifically.
- Rows marked "not published" are bodies OET lists as accepting the test without stating a grade. They do accept OET — the number simply has to come from the regulator directly.
- Always confirm against the regulator before you book. A board can change its requirement between our weekly refresh and your application, and some accept scores combined across two sittings while others do not.
The answer for one country
A page per destination, stating what podiatrists need there and which board decides — built to be linked when somebody asks.
More detail: how the 0–500 score maps to a letter grade and the full list of countries and regulators that accept OET.

Phrase bank
Four phrases worth drilling.
Internalise these and you'll have go-to language for the moments that matter most in migrating podiatrists' consultations.
Diabetic foot education
“A small wound on your foot can become serious if we miss it — let me show you what to check each day.”
Translating risk
“When we say "high-risk foot", we mean we need to watch it more carefully because the warning signs can be quieter.”
Offloading explanation
“The boot looks bulky, but it takes pressure off the spot and that's how it heals.”
Closing safety-netting
“If anything looks redder, hotter, or starts to leak, ring us the same day — don't wait for the appointment.”
Now scoring OET Writing
Not just Speaking — OET Writing for podiatrists, too.
Write a podiatry referral letter against a profession-specific case — timed under exam conditions, or untimed with hints and model answers — and get it marked on all six official OET Writing criteria. Inline annotations show the phrases that cost you marks, and band-5 + band-7 sample answers show the next band up. There is no word-count penalty: length is judged only through relevance and summarising.
