OSCE performance reports
The Nursing Council provides OSCE performance reports for those internationally qualified nurses (IQNs) who have completed but not passed their Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE).
Performance reports give candidates information about how they performed in a specific OSCE sitting. They do not provide guidance on how to improve clinical practice, and they are not intended to be specific feedback.
The OSCE performance report records whether you met or did not meet the assessment standard for each clinical scenario across the OSCE stations.

The Council does not provide any further information beyond what is included in the performance report. The OSCE is a formal examination and it is important to maintain the integrity of the examination process.
Please note, if you passed the OSCE, you will not receive a performance report.
Some performance reports will be emailed automatically while others need to be requested. This depends on the date you sat the OSCE.
Please refer to the table below to find out what applies to you.

Requesting a performance report
Performance report requests must be submitted by the nurse who sat the OSCE. We do not accept request forms from third‑party agents.
If you sat the OSCE between 1 October and 20 December 2025, please note that requests for a performance report are only open for a limited time. Applications open on 8 June 2026 and close on 31 August 2026.
Please do not contact the Council for additional information about OSCE performance reports. Our staff are prioritising the delivery of reports and are unable to respond to individual enquiries.
The Council is the only organisation that issues OSCE performance reports. Please do not request a report from Nurse Maude.
