Oceania-Wesley OSCE Preparation Course
This comprehensive training program has been designed to maximise your preparation for the Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ) OSCE examination. Our course structure ensures that you receive the most effective learning experience and includes 80 hours of a combination of online and in-person (face-to-face) training at our Centre of Excellence simulation suite. Starting in February 2025, this course will be offered in Christchurch, New Zealand, with the option to arrange accommodation on the same premises.
The one-off payment of NZ$3,450 (GST included) includes both the online and in person training components of the program only. Accommodation is offered separately.
Once you have registered and paid for your OSCE prep course, you will receive access to the online component. There is no test or examination with this component, but it is highly recommended that you complete all the content prior to attending your simulation week. We recommend booking your simulation week one to two weeks prior to attempting the NCNZ examination.
We recommend that due to the one-month time constraint on the online content, you should allocate 4 weeks to fully focus on your preparation. We are currently offering one In-Person Simulation Training per month so please consider this prior to booking the OSCE, to ensure you can receive the best OSCE prep experience.
