Test of Competence

We use the Test of Competence (ToC) to assess the skills and knowledge of people applying to join our register from overseas or rejoin our register after a long period away from practice.

All five OSCE test centres in the UK are currently open.

We're closely monitoring any restrictions and their impact on OSCE test centres, and there may be some changes to your booking as a result.

Check our Covid-19: OSCE page for more information.
