A little clarity before you begin

Your questions, answered.

Can I enrol in just Theory or just OSCE?

Yes. Choose IQN Theory preparation, OSCE preparation, or both according to your study needs. Each course is purchased separately and you do not need to have studied Theory with KNA to enrol in OSCE Prep. Your study choices do not change the official assessment sequence or your NCNZ requirements.

Can I study around work and other commitments?

Yes. Access online course resources on desktop or mobile and study at your own pace. Theory lessons, quizzes and mock exams are self-paced. OSCE resources support independent practice between tutor-led sessions, which require booking and depend on availability and your entitlement.

How long does course access last?

Each course is a one-time purchase with six months of access from its purchase date. You can purchase either course individually or both separately when you are ready.

Already enrolled and need help accessing a benefit?

Contact our support team and we will help you access the current course benefits. Session bookings depend on availability and your entitlement. gotoMedics is an external service with separate access and plan terms.

Does preparation include official exam booking or registration?

No. Kiwi Nurse Academy provides independent preparation. Official exam booking, fees, NCNZ requirements and the mandatory OSCE orientation are separate. Check your NCNZ requirements before choosing preparation.

Can I look at practice options before buying?

You can browse practice tests with an account; full course access is a separate purchase. gotoMedics readiness practice is an external service with individual access and separate plan terms.
