You can start your NZ OSCE preparation from home, wherever you live. With NZSC’s online OSCE training and Virtual OSCE platform, you practise exam-style stations with NZ registered nurse tutors and arrive in Christchurch already exam-ready.
Why nurses choose online OSCE training
- Keep your job while you prepare. Train from India, the Philippines, the Gulf or anywhere else, and travel only when you are ready.
- Spend less time and money in New Zealand. You arrive with the groundwork done, so your days in Christchurch go on final practice.
- Updated for November 2026. Candidates report new scenarios in 9 of the 10 stations, and our online training already covers them. See what changed.
What you get with NZSC online OSCE training
- Virtual OSCE platform: 40+ practice scenarios, mock exams and 2026-updated study materials, all online
- Online learning (10 days): acted videos, readings and lectures on every OSCE station
- Live online classes: Monday to Friday, 9–10 pm NZ time (early afternoon in India, late afternoon in the Philippines), with recordings
- One-to-one mock reviews: an NZ registered nurse tutor watches you run a station and tells you exactly what to fix
- Christchurch finish: two weeks of hands-on mocks of all 10 stations at our clinical skills lab, close to the exam centre
Over 2,000 internationally qualified nurses trained since October 2024, with an average OSCE success rate above 90%.
What is a virtual OSCE?
A virtual OSCE is OSCE practice done online. You read the station, start the timer and work through the scenario while a tutor watches or plays the patient on a video call. It is the closest you can get to the real exam from home. Read our Virtual OSCE Guide 2026 to see how the platform works.
Online now, Christchurch later
Most NZSC students start online and finish with hands-on training in Christchurch before their OSCE. See our full OSCE training in New Zealand.
