How do I prepare for these examinations?

Candidates will need to have a good understanding of evidence-informed practice in order to successfully complete the examinations, so we typically recommend that they complete the Certificate in Evidence-Informed Practice prior to taking the exams. To prepare candidates for taking these examinations, we will provide full guidance, reading lists and practice examinations so they can familiarise with the examination style and format.

What examinations will I undertake?

You will be required to undertake the following three examinations;

  • Multiple Choice Questionnaire Examination (MCQ) which assesses knowledge of evidence-informed teaching, learning, curriculum and assessment.
  • Objective Structured Teaching Exercise (OSTE), which is a scenario-based examination, designed to assess knowledge of formative assessment and supporting teacher development.
  • Written Examination, which is designed to assess knowledge of effective mentoring, within the context of your subject, phase or specialism.
