Comments from the candidates Most useful part of the day 1OSCE practice. Anatomy OSCE and feedback Least useful • Anatomy lecture. • Group Vivas. • All excellent but least useful for me was probably first lecture of the day. Most stressful OSCE • 'Y' connectors. • Anatomy/Sim. • Anaesthetic machine. Laryngoscope station.
Comments from the candidates • Excellent OSCE stations, well organised, very useful • The Viva's were good in terms of information covered (especially physiology) but they needed to be more rigorously timed/delivered to simulate the real exam. • Group vivas not as intense as the real exam but I appreciate this is hard to emulate it was still useful though. • Viva group needs to be smaller.
Comments from the candidates • Second day of the exam was excellent preparation. • Very good value for money, well organised, friendly and approachable tutors. • Group viva on day were not extremely useful esp. physiology. • Radiology lecture: not relevant to the current exam setup need more focus on the difficult obscure • Very valuable course - best aspects full timers 18 station OSCE (I didn't appreciate how quickly 5 minutes goes. • Excellent course - very good value for money - you could have charged more and I am sure you would fill your spaces. • The graphs and figures practice session was the most helpful session.
Post exam feedback • May I just also say thank you again for the course, it was very well run and the feedback given is very helpful (as is all of the practice you provide). I am very pleased to have passed, I am sure that attending your course has helped me in this respect! • I passed both the OSCE and SOE on my first attempt, and am very grateful to you and your faculty
Post exam feedback • One of my OSCE stations was all about mono-auricular stethoscope which I had never even heard ..thank you for all your hard work arranging and running the course. • Many thanks for your help & guidance too. I attended both your MCQ and OSCE/SOE courses. Looking forward to attend your Final FRCA courses. • I passed - thanks for your course, it really helped.
Post exam feedback • Thank you for your excellent course, I am glad to say I passed and I am sure the extensive mock OSCE/viva practice you provided was a large factor in it.
