Frequently Asked Questions

Internationally qualified nurses who want to practise in Australia are required to complete the OSCE as part of the registration process. The OSCE tests practical skills and clinical knowledge in a controlled, simulated environment to ensure candidates meet the required standards of care in Australia.

Preparing for the OSCE involves a combination of theoretical study and practical, hands-on practice. We offer OSCE preparation courses that include clinical skill stations, mock exams, and guidance on exam techniques. Our instructors are experienced healthcare professionals who will help you understand exam expectations, refine your clinical skills, and boost your confidence for the real exam.

Our OSCE preparation course includes:

• Comprehensive review of key nursing skills and knowledge areas
• Dedicated one-on-one coach for online dry-run sessions
• Simulation-based practice of OSCE scenarios (including battery tests)
• Mock exams to help you become familiar with the test structure
• Personalised feedback to help you identify strengths and areas for improvement
• Expert guidance from experienced trainers

Yes! Mock exams are a core component of our OSCE preparation program. This helps you:

• Get used to the exam format and timing
• Improve your ability to handle stress and manage time effectively
• Receive constructive feedback from our trainers to refine your technique

Yes. Personalised feedback is one of the highlights of our training program. After every practical session or mock exam, our experienced instructors will provide:

• Detailed feedback on your clinical skills, including areas where you performed well and areas that need further practice
• Constructive suggestions on how to improve your techniques, communication, and patient interaction
• Tips and strategies for handling specific OSCE stations and exam challenges

This feedback will help you continuously improve and build your confidence as you prepare for the real exam.

If you do not pass the OSCE on your first attempt, you can re-sit the exam. We recommend using the feedback from the exam to focus your further study and practice on areas where you may need improvement. If you are an ACT student and your first OSCE attempt was in the last five years, you will be able to attend our training sessions again at no additional cost. If you were an ACT student and your first OSCE attempt was more than 5 years ago, you may be able to re-enrol at a discounted rate.

Yes, our OSCE Training Program includes both face-to-face and online OSCE preparation. Our online courses include video tutorials, practice scenarios, and virtual feedback sessions with experienced instructors. This option is perfect if you’re unable to attend in-person classes or prefer learning from home.

You can register for our OSCE preparation courses online through our website. Simply choose the course package that suits you, complete the registration form, and make payment. Our team will confirm your booking and provide you with all the details you need to get started.
