The training mirrors the NMC standards as set out in the Test of Competence part 2. You will cover all aspects of patient assessment, writing care-plans, safe drug administration and written patient evaluations. Through classroom training and Moodle (our online learning platform) you will have exposure to the patient scenarios used at the test centres. Skills are taught during face to face training and you will also have access to videos posted on Moodle. Currently the skills are:

Skills:

  • BLS
  • Catheter removal
  • Fluid balance
  • Inhaled meds
  • Neuro obs
  • Peak flow
  • Physical obs
  • Subcut injection

Moodle access is provided prior to attending the training and you will continue to have access to this resource up until the point of passing your formal OSCE. We actively encourage candidates to submit work for review as this is part of our distance support and pastoral care. We are happy to accept both written work and also videos of skills for review. This service is invaluable and sets us apart from other training providers. The use of this service is also reflected in our excellent pass rate.

At the end of your training with us we put you through a formal timed mock exam. This is to expose you to what you will experience at the test centres as you cannot underestimate how being timed during stations and also stress affects performance. Your will receive formal written feedback feedback within 3-5 working days (NMC standard).

As part of your training agreement you will be expected to share your NMC feedback from your OSCE exam. This is for our own peer review and to ensure we continue to deliver an excellent service. We also want to be able to congratulate you on your success as it is the first milestone of your UK career.
