This difficult exam is easier with training in technique and then lots of practice.
This longstanding course is highly oversubscribed and receives very positive feedback from attending candidates.
“Excellent, well-run, up-to-date and testing OSCE/SOE course run in a great location by a fantastic faculty - Thank you!”
This course is designed to give essential help for the OSCE/SOE day of the exam. Although it is not possible to review the whole syllabus in two days, it is possible to increase your chances of passing the exam by learning about exam techniques and by practicing under simulated exam conditions.
The course is only suitable for candidates about to sit the FRCA SOE and OSCE exam.
The course is organised and run entirely by volunteers who give up their time for free.
A fee is charged in order to cover the costs associated with running the course. Most deaneries will support this course at part of the study budget.
SCIP is a not for profit organisation.
The current course fee is £400.
