Preparing for a Certificate of Competency isn’t just about studying harder.

That’s why we’ve created a range of learning resources designed to support you throughout your journey.

Officer of the Watch Unlimited Part B Oral Exam Question Bank
Preparing for Part B can be daunting if you’re unsure what types of questions could be asked, or knowing how to answer the part B questions.
Our Part B Question Bank contains real UK MCA oral exam questions together with concise model answers, allowing you to compare your own responses with the key points expected by an examiner.
It’s an excellent way to:
● Build confidence
● Check your understanding
● Identify gaps in your knowledge

Officer of the Watch Unlimited Virtual Examiner
Knowing the answer is one thing.
Saying it confidently is another.
The Virtual Examiner recreates the experience of being asked oral questions by presenting one question at a time through video recordings.
You can answer aloud or type your responses before reviewing the model answers at the end of the session.
It’s the ideal bridge between revision and a live mock oral, helping you become more comfortable listening, thinking and responding under realistic conditions.
Available 24 hours a day, it’s perfect for candidates studying around watches, college or work.

The support doesn’t stop when the session ends. If you have questions afterwards, we’re only an email away.
