Live Medicine Interview Course

Exceptional teaching standard, encouraged interactive learning. Felt I am a lot more aware of hot topics and more importantly how to use them. Practiced miscellaneous questions that you wouldn't usually get the chance to prepare for and considered some key questions about our reasoning for applying for medicine Would fully recommend

Excellent interview course. Both instructors were very knowledgable about the interview process and highlighted a lot of very specific techniques for interview prep.

The course was extremely informative. Plenty of content on many possible questions were covered. Most importantly the oppurtunity was given to practice questions under time pressure. The small class size made it convenient to ask questions to the two doctors. The two doctors were very supportive and friendly and really encouraged me to come out of my comfort zone and understand how to structure my answers. I would recommend this to anyone looking for help with interview skills.

The course was well structured and it is personally tailored to you which I thought was amazing. The coaches already knew your background (via reading your personal statement) and universities you have applied to and tailored everything to you. The course helped me structure some of the interview questions which came up on the actual interview. I have learnt so much during the course and the NHS hot topic course that comes with it is excellent and you can view it any time for a year which is fantastic. Some of the coaches are actual interviewers therefore you get a real feel for the interview (e.g. Questions & what they are looking for) and they give you immediate feedback to help you prepare. The service is amazing – every time I have called to ask questions about the course they have always picked up or have called back within the same hour. It is definitely worth the money; time and they honestly care about you and your journey to medical school which is rare!

Amazing !!!! Appreciate them being able to go over the complete range of different things univerisites can ask us.

Very interactive and gave us an extremely solid foundation and covered all the bases. Ensured everyone practiced all the different types of questions which was also very helpful.

Learned lots about strutting answers, and aspects of the structure of the NHS. Will make use of the online videos available to me.

Very thorough teaching of what an MMI entails and what techniques you should use to perform well. Interview experience was very good at placing me under pressure and learning how to correctly structure an interview answer. Good balance of time spent on each section throughout the day. Recording of answers will be very helpful to look back on. To improve, more example interview questions could be provided however I think this course will improve my performance at interview.

It provided me with more confidence, which is something I often lack when I'm in new situations, the combination of practicing then teaching was helpful in my understanding of the separate stations. I would've liked to have spent more time on the role play stations.

Very interactive, really pulled me out of comfort zone. I started the day reasonably shy, however the tutors really helped me to come out of my self. I noticed how the more quieter members of the course were involved in the course by the tutors. Improvements: Although it’s difficult due to reasonable sized class, tailoring the experience to each individual and their personable statement could definitely be improved. Do less teaching, more active interview practice. Emphasis that members need to do the videos and revise their knowledge of interview prior to course, so more actual interview practice can be done! Overall, great experience and great tutors.

Overall really useful. Much better idea of how I need to structure my answers and it’s simply a matter of practice. Wish there was a way to have access to more unique questions to do with each of my university choices. Overall I was very pleased.

I feel that the course was very informative and provided a broad insight on the types of questions and ways in which theses questions are asked. Brief mention of specific universities was mentioned which gave a deeper insight. I particularly think the idea of recording answers and feedback will pose as beneficial when looking over notes and preparing further for the interview.

I really enjoyed the interview course today and learnt a lot more about the interview process and what I need to focus on in the coming weeks. The way the course was structured was highly beneficial for my learning and the group of 12 (split into 2) was very helpful in getting the most out of the experience. The staff were very energetic and the course was clearly well planned out. I appreciated the opportunities for questions and recording the practices we did alongside feedback.

It was really useful, especially for preparation of MMIs as prior to the course, I had no information about the different stations. I learnt a lot from how to structure my answers and what to include in each part.

Really informative. Covered all the different structures needed to answer different types of questions, as well as important content NHS hot topics and ethics to name a few. Got lots of practice answering questions and received feedback as to how we and and how to improve. These attempts were filmed which I’m sure will be very useful but extremely awkard to watch back later!! Those running the course were really knowledgeable and could answer ever question asked and didn’t mind explaining things again.

In all honesty, I didn’t think I would need the course as I have plenty of interview experience before, however, within the first 15 minutes I realised that i definitely needed it. With no prior knowledge of the kinds of questions they’d be asking, everything was new to me and being given tailored advice was very useful. It was also great to hear others responses to answers as it gave me ideas but also an insight into what the other applicants would be like. Some parts were slow, such as the NHS challenge practice questions and going through the pneumonics. Overall very helpful.

This course gave me excellent insight into the styles of questions that are asked at interviews. I walked in today not knowing much about interview content and styles however walking out today I am very content with my experience and I have gained lots of knowledge. This is a highly recommended ale course!

Really helpful. Gave a lot of insight in the types of questions that could come up that I didn’t know could such as the video or picture. I found the acronyms for giving an example and breaking bad news really useful as I have struggled structuring my answers. I also found the information on the challenges to the NHS particularly helpful and how to deal with role play.

I did the 1 day interview course and I am applying for graduate medicine. It was an incredible course, expensive and very intense but well worth the money & time. The small class size means that you can have all your specific questions answered and also practice answering questions yourself. I feel so much more prepared for my interview now - I don't know what I would have done without this!

I thought it was a really informative and hands-on course with two very enthusiastic and helpful teachers. Practice interview questions gave a lot to work on and think about.

Great

It was a great and interesting experience and it really helped to improve my confidence and interview techniques.

Very factual, I learnt a lot of information which will be very useful for my interview process

I found it extremely helpful, more that I thought it would. I’ve definitely gained more confidence and gave me a good idea of what to expect.

A jam packed day that covered all aspects of the medical interviews. I am leaving feeling much more confident about my interview technique. It’s amazing what a day can do! Expensive but worth it.

Overall was very pleased with the course instructors and their personalised feedback. The video recordings which you can see what you did well and not so well on was also useful. The interview techniques for structuring a range of questions were very helpful. The range of questions you answer helps build confidence.

The course was very helpful and very personallised.

Excellent insider information and practice.

Very detailed, personal service involving great approaches to questions whilst promoting individual responses.

Very good course
