OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Exa-mination )
Candidates who are ready to practise in the UK and meet the standards set out in the NMC Code should be confident of passing OSCE stations.
Part two of the Test of Competence is a practical exam known as the OSCE. In this part you'll be tested on your clinical and communication skills.
We, at AINA provides online theory classes and practical face to face sessions to help you sucessfully complete OSCE exams.
Booking your test
There are five approved OSCE test providers:
Oxford Brookes University
University of Northampton
Ulster University
Northumbria University
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
OSCE structure
The OSCE has 10 stations:
Four stations are linked together around a scenario: the APIE (one station for assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation)
Four stations to test skills (two pairs of two skills)
Two stations to assess the candidate's values and behaviours and evidence-based practice.
Getting your result
The test centres will email your results to you within 5 working days of the date of your OSCE. If you pass your OSCE, you’ll get an email with details of what to do next. If you fail your OSCE, you’ll get an email with feedback on which stations and elements you were unsuccessful in.
Resitting the OSCE
You can take the OSCE a maximum of three times as part of your application, but you need to wait at least 10 days between each sitting. If you do not pass your OSCE on your third attempt, your application will close and you’ll need to start a new application if you want to register with us. You must wait at least six months before you sit the OSCE again and retake the 10 stations.
