About us
The Leeds OSCE Training Course was established in 2024 with a clear mission: to help international nurses achieve OSCE success with confidence. Our expert tutors are trained OSCE examiners who know the exam process like the back of their hand—they’ve assessed countless candidates and understand exactly what it takes to pass.
We take pride in our personalised, hands-on approach, using professional actors to portray patients and creating realistic scenarios that mirror the exam environment. With a 95% first-attempt pass rate and 100% of our learners recommending us to a friend, we’re confident that our programme will set you up for success.
Our centre is conveniently located next to the OSCE assessment centre, giving you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the surroundings before exam day—a small detail that makes a big difference in reducing exam-day nerves.
We’re passionate about supporting our learners, both academically and personally. As proud recipients of the NHS Pastoral Care Award, we go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome, supported, and ready to succeed.
Please note: This OSCE training course is specifically for participants preparing for the Adult OSCE only. It does not cover pathways for Midwifery, Mental Health, Paediatrics, Learning Disability, or Nursing Associate roles.

Feedback
We’re proud to share that 100% of our participants would recommend our course to a friend, and we currently have an impressive 95% first attempt pass rate!
Tutors were hard-working, compassionate and always dependable in teaching us and answering questions. Supervision was 100%. The mock exam increased my confidence.
The team went the extra mile when my personal circumstances meant that I really needed that support.
The staff helped me understand the local culture and dialects, which helped me bond with my new team.
There was no reason for me to have been anxious & scared about joining the class.
