What is the OSCE training for midwives?
- By (36 articles)
Hello, in today's blog post, I'll discuss how OSCE training for midwives works. Before taking the OSCE exam, a midwife must first register with the NMC and then take either an IELTS or an OET, both of which are English examinations with the exception that the OET is a healthcare-specific English language test. After that, they must take a CBT, which is a computer-based exam with 120 general nursing and midwifery questions (Legacy / "old version") or 15 numeracy questions & 100 Multiple Choice questions (ToC 21 / "new version").
The NMC OSCE for Midwives
The OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) exam is divided into six or ten stations, for which we have three-, four-, and five-day courses available. Our courses are held at our Central London Training Centre from Wednesday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the next one will run from the 1st of December to the 3rd of December.

In these courses we will provide you with the necessary training needed in order to pass the OSCE for Midwives exam which will then allow you to become a registered midwife here in the UK. Here at IELTS medical we also provide online courses, we have two packages, the basic online OSCE course which includes the NMC OSCE textbook, a 1x 3 hour 1:1 zoom voucher with an educator and also a let’s talk OCSE card game.

Once a course is booked midwives will be posted pre-course materials such as textbooks to help you prepare for exams, before exams midwives will be provided with a full mock test with feedback so you are able to understand what skills you need to improve on. Exams can be taken at either Northampton, Oxford Brookes or Ulster.
