Consultant Post Courses
ISC Medical is the largest provider of consultant interview courses and recruitment solutions in the UK for candidates applying to consultant posts. Our success has been built on the personal approach that we take in dealing with our clients, but also by not compromising on the quality of our products or the number of candidates that we take on each consultant interview course (6 people maximum to give you the most benefit and personal attention).
Over the past few years, consultant posts have become increasingly competitive, with candidate-to-post ratios being as high as 100 in some specialties. Even if you are the only candidate, statistically, you only have a 50% chance of success as interviews tend to be harder and the "burden of proof" is greater. To help you beat your competition and optimise your chances of getting your ideal job, we have developed a range of products which will cater to all your needs.
