Previous participant reviews: 

Weekly Teaching Programme:

• "The duration of the course ensured that I had a good steady pace for my study in the 9 or so months leading up to the exam.  The feedback sessions were helpful, and the convenors were very approachable and non-judgemental, creating a supportive environment for us as candidates to share our thoughts and rationale for answers."
• "The MCQs were very helpful.  The lecturers were excellent."
• "Regularity of lectures, very organised programme, felt like I covered a lot of key content."

Intensive Two-week Course:

• "The quality of most lectures was very, very high and most focused on high yield topics which is incredibly helpful.  Lots of questions and case solving, not just content!!  Pretty much all the content discussed was relevant to the exam."
• "Exam focused content, case and question-based learning, interactive, engaging speakers, excellent slides with just the right amount of detail!"
• "I enjoyed the case-based approach that most of the speakers employed with lots of practice exam questions."
