CT / ST Interview Course Reviews

"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."
