Most nurses progress through both stages as part of their NCNZ registration pathway. Start with the course that matches your current stage.
Use the assessment instructions in your own pathway to identify whether Theory or OSCE is your next step.
You do not need to purchase both courses at once. Start with the assessment directly in front of you.
Learners who later move to OSCE preparation can return for the separate clinical-stage course.
Start with structured theory study, OSCE practice, or both as your New Zealand registration pathway progresses.
