Oxons College has set out to establish itself as one of the leading organisations in the country administering English programmes for different ages, walks, occupations and professions. The college has developed extensive and intensive resources, curriculums and syllabuses tailor-made course designs to administer in classroom settings. The lessons are not limited to the four walls of the classrooms. Every course is coordinated with the relevant setting and expertise. For instance, the learners of English for Nurse will have part of their learning experiences in the nursing setting. Likewise, in a football club or playground for the learners of English for Sports Personnel. We’ve achieved this thanks to our experience and knowledge of the sector, and through working with some of the leading experts in the field. Research of world-leading scholars in the field of ESP (English for Special Purpose) has been thoroughly studied and has been utilised in connection with the field experience of the subject field.

Our English for Nurses programme encapsulates all aspects of the field. Beginning from the primary knowledge of the subject field, it enables, eg. a carer even the compliances they have to follow. They will practice conversations they might have used with service users. The course also includes job interviews. In a nutshell, we train to learn a very practical English espoused with academic standards

Who Is This Course For?
The difficulties that nurses encounter when they must utilise English as their working language on the wards are the main topic of this course. These include: how to properly diagnose patients, both surgically and medically (e.g., diabetes, asthma, COPD, and wound/pain management), and the variations in medical cultures among nations.
Additionally, the admission and discharge procedures for patients will be taught to the students. Throughout the course, nurses will have the chance to talk with our tutors about the particular problems they encounter at work.
Our amiable teachers will assist them in discussing these concerns and provide helpful guidance based on their extensive experience working in hospitals.

By the time the course ends, our students have gained confidence and are better prepared to manage the pressure of handling foreign patients.
