Creation and Planning
Build, Review, and Manage Your OSCE Scenarios
Create Reusable Scenarios
Create a comprehensive, reusable bank of OSCE scenarios and manage the complete content development process from one place.
Create Customisable Marksheets
Marksheets can be fully configured to include numerical scoring, descriptors, checklists, global ratings, marking domains, and free-text feedback.
Align With Assessment Frameworks
Comprehensive blueprinting and metadata allow you to align scenarios with curricula, learning outcomes, competencies, and other assessment frameworks, helping teams build balanced assessments and make better use of their existing content.
Manage Station Resources
Author source content directly within the platform, bringing candidate instructions, examiner guidance, simulated patient resources, equipment lists, multimedia, and marking criteria together within each station.
Simplify OSCE Scheduling
Simultaneous Circuits
Rest Stations
Multi-Day Assessments
Multi-Site Delivery
Manage Everything in One Place
Simplify the planning and management of even the most complex OSCE schedules with a platform that can allocate candidates, examiners, and simulated patients across multiple stations, circuits, sessions, and venues. All the moving parts are brought together in one place, helping teams coordinate delivery with greater efficiency.
Build Repeatable Templates
Set up reusable exam configuration templates to make repeatable assessments faster to set up and help reduce the risk of configuration errors.
Test Prep
AI Clinical Coach
AI-Powered OSCE Practice
Allow your learners to comfortably practice their clinical skills independently using a trained AI patient, while receiving instant rubric-based feedback and personalised insights.
Exam Day Delivery
Give Examiners a Seamless OSCE Experience
Intuitive On-Screen Marksheets and Resources
Keep examiner focus firmly on candidates with an intuitive iPad app that displays station materials and marksheets, with mandatory criteria preventing missed scores. Marks are then captured digitally and processed automatically.
Streamlined Station Rotations
Candidates are presented to examiners in the order in which they are expected to appear, along with the right station information, resources, and digital marksheets.
Full Offline Resilience
High-stakes clinical assessments should continue to run even if the Wi-Fi drops. Marks are retained securely offline and synchronised automatically once the Wi-Fi connection returns.
Monitor and Control Complex Exam Day Operations
Have Central Oversight
Assessment teams maintain central oversight across multiple sites, sessions, and circuits simultaneously, allowing them to track mark submissions and to monitor candidate and examiner activity.
Respond to Challenges Quickly
Examiners can flag queries directly within the platform for supervisors to review and respond to quickly without disrupting the wider assessment.

“Before, it took four of us four days to ratify OSCE marks on paper. This has now been eliminated and we have never had a blip during an exam.”
Caroline MosleyLecturer in Veterinary Clinical Skills
Deliver Clinical Assessments Remotely
Dual Delivery From a Single Bank
Use the same OSCE platform to deliver both in-person and remote clinical assessments. Switch between delivering in-person or remotely, without having to rebuild your scenario bank.
Oral Assessments Delivered Anywhere
Integrated live video allows candidates, examiners, and simulated patients the ability to participate from different locations.
Virtual Station Rotations
Automated rotations and built-in timings help move participants between simulated exam stations at the right time.
Progress Monitoring
Alongside face-to-face OSCEs, administrators can also monitor remote exam progress centrally and observe individual virtual stations as needed.
Analysis and Feedback
Turn Assessment Data Into Defensible Decisions
Deliver and Analyse in One Place
Move directly from exam delivery into advanced standard setting, psychometrics, and analysis without transferring results between separate systems.
Automate Cut Scores and Results
Automatically calculate cut scores and aggregate results to reduce the need for external calculation and move quickly from delivery to quality assurance and decision-making.
Apply Standard Setting
Apply a range of standard-setting methodologies, or define custom rules, conjunctive criteria, and remodeled standards to reflect the requirements of your assessment.

Evaluate Psychometric Performance
Analyse candidate, station and examiner performance using a wide range of psychometric reports. Identify trends, investigate areas of concern, and monitor assessment quality across the exam.
Provide Actionable Feedback Direct to Candidates
Turn rich assessment data into clear, meaningful feedback that helps your candidates understand their strengths and where they can improve.
Bring together structured scores, global ratings, examiner comments and performance across stations, domains, and competencies into a single candidate feedback report. Configure the information candidates receive to reflect your assessment model, giving them a more complete view of their performance than a pass/fail outcome alone.

Exam Software Built in Collaboration With the Healthcare Community
For over 25 years, we’ve worked side-by-side with healthcare educators worldwide to build specialised software that tackles the real-world complexities of knowledge, practical, and clinical assessments. Our team also includes assessment specialists with first-hand experience of delivering OSCEs within healthcare education organisations, helping us combine our deep technical capability with a practical understanding of the challenges assessment teams face.
