• “Hot seat” practice & coaching - answer and get individual feedback on 4 to 6 interview questions and observe many more
• Dedicated hour on how to structure your answers & performing well in online interviews

Medical schools have been preparing to run all their medicine and dentistry interviews online for 2020-2021. We are keeping in close touch with each programme to remain up to date on how this will affect the interview style. Some schools that have traditionally run MMI circuits are switching to online panels, while others will maintain the MMI format online. Even then, changes are being made to the number, types and timing of stations. We update our teaching weekly to reflect these changes. We also ask you which four schools you are preparing for before you attend our course, and will email you information specific to those four schools after the interview course so you are up to date with any expected changes.
Due to government lockdown restrictions in the UK, all of our interview courses will be held online. To ensure the same level of quality and interaction as we have offered over the last few years, we have reduced the class size to a maximum of 9 students per online class. Most weeks, there will be multiple classes running at the same time, to be able to offer the smaller class size.

This medicine interview prep course is ideal for students preparing for medical school or dental school interviews. We do not expect any prior preparation or knowledge before attending the interview course, but of course, if you have done a bit of reading and practice, then you get even more out of the sessions.
Almost all of our students start their interview preparation with this 8-hour small-group interview course. It is usually followed by attending either a mock MMI circuit, a mock panel interview or interview coaching. If you plan to do only one of the above, we highly recommend you choose this interview course: this is where students improve their interview delivery skills the most. The mock MMI circuits and mock panels are more suited to students who have already come to this course, or are nearly ready and want realistic practice with past questions from the schools.
Throughout the 8 hours, you can expect to be shown the right approach and structure to all question types in MMI circuits and panel interviews. The course is not lecture-based but rather an interview practice course, where you are taught techniques, strategies, and how to structure your answers, incorporating mock interview questions throughout.
Once you have a method to organise your answer, you will have opportunities to brainstorm content and practice delivery. Throughout the day, we give each student the “hot seat” in turn, to answer questions as if it was an interview. You will instantly get feedback from our tutor on your delivery, structure and content.
The course is a perfect combination of making sure you have the knowledge you need, the structure required for each question type and getting practice and coaching throughout the day. Our small class size and the breadth of experience of our teachers is what allows us to offer such an interactive and comprehensive course that sets itself apart from other med school interview prep courses.
By the end of the course, you should expect to have a great understanding of how to approach all question types, have a clear assessment of your strengths and weaknesses when answering interview questions and an overview of all the knowledge required for topic-specific scenarios. All of this means that, whether you’re about to encounter a traditional interview or an MMI circuit, you will walk into that interview room confident and prepared for what’s about to come!
We may add more types or swap some around based on updates from medical schools to make sure you are being prepared for the most relevant stations that you can expect. The teaching on special stations makes this a comprehensive MMI interview course, as well as a panel interview course.
Over the last 8 years, we have an incredible 98.5% success rate. This means that 98.5% of the students who attended our Interview and MMI Courses have later gone on to receive an offer after their medical school interview. Follow in their footsteps and get into the medical school you want!
Our medical interview courses are facilitated both by experienced medical doctors and senior medical students, who have the benefit of recent medical school interview experience. Additionally, 8 of our facilitators have sat or are currently sitting on interview panels at medical schools all throughout the UK.
“The students I have spoken to have been very complimentary of your interview course/feedback.”
