CT, ST and SpR medical interviews have become increasingly competitive. Our fully interactive one-day medical interview course for CT, ST and registrar posts will give you all the tools you need to prepare effectively.
Virtual courses are run on the Zoom platform. Instructions with the code to join the meeting will be sent a couple of days prior to the course date.
09:15 - Registration
09:30 - Start of the course
17:45 - End of the course.
Some courses may run until 18:00 if participants are particularly interactive
Prior to the course, participants will be required to think about answers to a range of common questions.
Through the interactive discussions, personal practice and small-group workshops of this medical and surgical CT, ST & SpR interview skills course, you will learn:
The course is specifically for candidates applying to CT, ST or SpR posts and caters for all the majors aspects being tested at CT, ST & SpR interviews. It is also suitable and fully relevant for candidates applying to non-training posts (staff grade).
In order to maintain the high quality of our courses, we only accept a maximum of 12 participants per course. You will therefore be able to raise and address at length any personal issues you want to discuss.
During the course we will be working on real CT & ST interview questions asked at previous CT & ST interviews. If there are specific issues or medical interview questions that you want to discuss, bring them along and we will do our best to incorporate them within the CT / ST interview course.
It takes just one CT, ST or SpR interview course to bring you the success that you deserve
We offer free unlimited support after the course
We don't make you sit with 100 or 200 other people in a big lecture theatre like our competitors do (and they charge more!). With a small group size of 12 people, we ensure that you get the maximum attention and support throughout the day and that you learn ST interview skills in a way that suits you personally.
Interview technique is not just about theory. It is primarily about practice. The small number of participants and our afternoon workshop ensure that you get plenty of individual practice. Real practice is what will make you succeed, not formal lectures.
Our teaching strategy is to make you learn all key medical interview techniques through discussion and active participation. We firmly believe that you will not learn to be good at interviews simply by being spoon-fed answers via a PowerPoint presentation. Instead, we make you think for yourself and ensure that you gain all the tools you need to answer any question thrown at you.
Not only will the small number of participants allow you to practice often during the day, you will also have personal access to the trainer to discuss your personal issues before the course, during all the breaks and after the course. Perhaps you have a background that is unusual or a particular feature of your past training that you want to discuss in more depth. We will give you all the time you need!
Our courses are put together by both doctors and communication specialists. This gives us a unique ability to look at the interview process from the medical and the communication angles, which you will find in no other courses. Because we also coach hundreds of doctors on a one-to-one basis from all specialities at all grades, we also have extensive knowledge of the questions asked of candidates.
After the course, we remain in contact with you. You can email us at any time and can be guaranteed a personal reply within 24 hours. After the course, once back home preparing for your medical interview, you will inevitably have questions or come across issues which will bother you. We will be there to answer your queries and support you in the final stages of your preparation. This is what makes our service unique and personal.
Last year, many of our candidates were successful in getting into their chosen speciality.
Don't leave it to chance!

"I attended the recent interview skills course in London and found it very useful. I thought you may like to know that I was successful in my core surgical training application, and that I actually was ranked top in London out of 544 applicants. My interview score was 207/216. I'm obviously thrilled, and I hope that the news also makes you smile."
"Olivier was a charismatic speaker who maintained my interest throughout the day. He kept up a clear message throughout the day, regardless of the question i.e. personalise your response and avoid airy phrases. Also the small numbers allowed a much more personal approach than I have experienced at other courses."
