OISC resources

Live online OISC Level 1 and 2 training courses now available

We now offer four-week guided-learning online OISC Level 1 and 2 training courses. With two live seminars per week on Mondays and Thursdays between 4pm and 5.30pm over four weeks, a dedicated tutor and group sizes capped at ten trainees, the courses are the best way to prepare for the OISC exams. Trainees study our best-in-class online materials in their own time then come together to revise key learning points and go through additional exercises with the tutor.

Comprehensive online OISC Level 1 training course

We offer a complete online OISC Level 1 training course for Free Movement members. We use simple, plain English, diagrams, infographics and worked examples throughout the course as well as auto-marking “test yourself” questions at the end of every course unit.

At your own leisure, in your own time, in your own home you can spend as long as you need on this and our many other online courses.
