Physical Mock Academy vs. VOSCE: Complete Cost and Value Comparison

The True Cost of Physical Mock Academies
Attending a traditional in-person OSCE academy costs £2,500 to £4,500 when factoring in tuition (£1,200+), international flights, visas, and hotels.
Crucially, in a physical course you only perform **1 or 2 mock circuits total** (16–32 stations). If you fail a case, you cannot repeat it.
How VOSCE Solves the Repetition Dilemma
On VOSCE, you can repeat difficult clinical encounters 50 times until your consultation structure is effortless.
- **Cost**: Free to start, accessible anywhere.
- **Availability**: 24/7 on your phone or laptop.
- **Repetitions**: Unlimited attempts on 100+ stations.
