OSCE Midwifery

Preparing for your Midwifery test

The Test of Competence is blueprinted against the current UK pre-registration standards which are available on the NMC’s website.

The Test of Competence for Midwives consists of 10 stations:

• 4 skills
• 4 assessing the patient’s care journey (Assessment, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation)
• 2 assessing the candidate’s values and behaviours and evidence-based practice.

It is essential that candidates prepare for the Test of Competence. We recommend at least 14 days preparation time from the booking of your test date to the actual test to sufficiently prepare yourself.
