The Safety English Test is an English language competency test originally created for the offshore industry in the Middle East. It is now mandated for use by the North Oil Company (NOC) in Qatar for all its subcontractors and is also used by other offshore companies in many other countries.
A powerful tool for recruitment and contractor-management
SET is designed specifically to assess the English language skills of manual staff working offshore or in processing plants. It gives client companies rapid and easy to understand results in a red, amber and green traffic light format.
Our clients use SET as a hiring tool, verifying a base-line standard of language ability amongst potential new hires or sub-contractor personnel.


SET can also be used as an auditing tool across a specific team or an entire workforce, ensuring that the benchmark to work safely in English is reached, and any training gaps are identified.
Our test can be taken in any approved location, at any time. Speaking and writing modules are marked by specialist assessors. Test results are available within a few days.
