UK NMC accept two language tests as evidence of your ability to communicate effectively in English: The International English Language Test System (IELTS) Academic and the Occupational English Test (OET). NMC is not looking to expand this list at the moment. This is subject to periodic review, so if this position changes NMC will update this section of website to reflect this. You must achieve the required score in each of the four areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Your test scores are valid for two years. If you have narrowly missed the required score in one domain and exhausted test combining options, you may be able to use supporting information from your employer (SIFE) to support your application(https://mallunursingcouple.com/news/uk-nmc-latest-update-oet-ielts-ഇല്ലാതെ-എളുപ്പത്തിൽ-ba/)
OET
NMC will accept an OET examination certificate that confirms you achieved at least grade B (350 or above) for reading, listening, and speaking, and at least grade C+ (300 or above) for writing. NMC accept the OET on Paper, OET on Computer, and the OET@Home.

IELTS
NMC will accept an IELTS Academic examination certificate that confirms you achieved at least 7 for reading, listening, and speaking, and at least 6.5 for writing. NMC accept both the paper based and computer based IELTS Academic test delivered at a test centre. NMC is not able to accept the IELTS indicator test because the security measures for the indicator test are not comparable to those in place for the face-to-face test and do not meet NMC’s standards.
