Why Come To ISC Medical's Medical School Course?
Maximum 16 participants
With a small group size, we ensure that you get the maximum attention throughout the day and learn the techniques in a way that suits you personally. Other providers who don't tell you their group size can take well over 100 people in one lecture theatre! We believe in coaching you in small groups so you can participate and learn more effectively.
Plenty of individual practice
Medical School 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.
We make you think for yourself
Our teaching strategy is to make you learn all key medical interview skills through discussion and active participation. We firmly believe that you will not learn to be good at medical school 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.
Our courses are run by practising doctors
All our trainers are practising doctors, and the vast majority sit on medical school interview panels and therefore have first-hand knowledge of the interview process and what is required.
Free email follow-up
After the course, we remain in contact with you. 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.

What our Medical School Interview Course candidates say
Each year over 95% of the students attending our medical school interview courses are successful in getting offers from at least one medical school of their choice.
This is, of course, due to all the hard work they invested into their preparation. However, the vast majority also attribute their success to the help they received in our medical school courses, which saved them hundreds of hours of worry, and helped them understand what they needed to do in order to succeed.
Here are some examples of testimonials received from students over the past few years.
"Very structured course Which covered a lot of the stations in detail. Because the group was quite small, we managed to have some good group discussions as well to enhance our learning experience. It's also really helpful as we've been provided with a booklet that follows up from what we've learnt. It was an extremely helpful course, which allowed me to understand the MMI in a lot more detail (as compared to reading books and searching on the internet). Being in the room with other people allowed us to all learn from each other, enhancing the experience. I would highly recommend this course to give you an insight into what the interview is like, allowing you to prepare accordingly. Thank you very much!"
"An absolutely amazing course which saved me hundreds of hours of preparation on my own. Loved the fact that we could all get involved in MMI stations and learn how to do a role play properly, how to discuss ethics knowledgeably and come across confident. Thank you to Nishali for such a great course."
"Very helpful and easy to talk to. The tutor was approachable and more than willing to answer any questions. Also not afraid to be critical, and tell you exactly what's wrong with the way you come across."
"Loved the way everything was covered, the informal nature of it really helped (the way the chairs were in a circle and it wasn't a classroom style environment). We all had a chance to experience different types of MMI stations and the detail on how to approach the stations was superb. The teacher Dr Suresh Krishan was very engaging and helpful"
"I really like the technical aspect of the course, and how we learnt to answer a wide range of questions. Really passionate and great teacher. I would definitely recommend. She was motivating, thoughtful and sensitive. A really worthwhile investment"
"I came along to an interview course in December and wanted to say thanks for all your help! I ended up getting 4 interviews and 4 offers and wouldn't have achieved it without the confidence and structure I gained from the course. The book too is amazing! I've recommended it to all my friends applying for medicine and head of sixth form."
"Excellent, the day flowed well there was plenty of opportunities to practise and get feedback. Great teacher. Very open and helpful, willing to talk and discuss issues and questions. I talked to her during the breaks and lunch and she was always available for personal questions. I will recommend this course to all my friends."
