What candidates say

★★★★★

“Comprehensive two-day course with high-yield cases. Well organised, small groups, and patients examined in clinic rooms rather than one noisy hall. Feedback was detailed and focused, and the pre-course reading and morning lectures were an excellent summary. I subsequently passed on my first attempt.”

Google review
★★★★★

“Tailored 1:1 feedback, and never in a group of more than three or four when seeing patients — so there’s time to ask questions and get the most out of the weekend. Would really recommend, especially if your exam is soon.”

Google review
★★★★★

“Thank you for a brilliant two days — I am ready for the PACES exam. The mock exam was really fantastic, and the tutors and patients were great.”

Google review
★★★★★

“An excellent two-day course with a very good mix of clinical signs. Small-group teaching and a mock exam with great feedback throughout. Would highly recommend.”

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to do the course?
We typically find 3–4 weeks before your exam works best — enough time to act on the feedback and keep practising before you sit. That said, some candidates benefit from coming 1–2 weeks before, when it’s freshest in their mind. Either works well. Whichever you choose, our courses fill quickly and often sell out, so we’d suggest booking as soon as your diet is confirmed.
Will I see enough patients?
Yes. Across the two days you’ll examine up to 60 real patients with real physical signs, spanning the full range of stations. Seeing genuine signs in a small-group setting — rather than practising on each other — is what builds the pattern recognition the exam rewards.
Is a four-day course better?
Not necessarily. What improves your marks isn’t the number of days — it’s how many real patients with real signs you examine, how much individual feedback you get, and how closely the teaching mirrors exam technique. Our two-day format is deliberately intensive and high-yield: real patients, small groups, and a mock circuit with immediate feedback. Many candidates find a focused weekend shortly before the exam more useful than a longer course spread thin.
Is the course suitable for a resit?
Absolutely. Whether it’s your first attempt or a resit, the individual feedback and mock circuit are designed to pinpoint exactly where marks are being lost and help you fix it before your next sitting.
What time does the course start and finish?
On the Saturday, please arrive to report from 8:15am, with the first lecture starting at 8:30am. Both days finish at 5:30pm. Your exact reporting point is confirmed in the joining instructions sent the week of the course.
What should I wear?
Dress as you would for the exam itself: smart, professional, and bare below the elbows, since you’ll be examining patients throughout. Comfortable shoes help too — it’s an active two days on your feet.
What do I need to bring?
Just your stethoscope. Everything else you’ll need is provided on the day.
Are meals and refreshments provided?
Yes. Teas, coffees and refreshments are provided throughout both days, along with a full lunch. Please let us know of any dietary requirements when you book.
Where is the course held?
The course is held at Ealing Hospital, Uxbridge Road, Southall, London UB1 3HW. It’s a large site, so your joining instructions include directions and your exact reporting point.
What if I don’t have my exam date yet?
You can still book. Our Exam Date Guarantee means that if you’re later allocated a date on or before the final day of your chosen course, you can move to another date (subject to availability) or receive a full refund — so booking early to secure a place carries no risk.
How do the booking guarantees work?
Three guarantees protect your booking. Exam Acceptance: if you’re not offered a place in the forthcoming diet, you receive a full refund. Exam Date: if your allocated date falls on or before the last day of your course, you can move or get a full refund. Waiting List: if a course is full, email us — places often open up. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
If you need to cancel more than 10 working days before the course, we’ll refund your fee less an administration charge. Within 10 working days of the course, we’re unable to offer a refund. Our exam-based guarantees are separate and still apply.
How do I book, and what will I receive?
You can book any date on this page through our secure Stripe checkout. You’ll receive confirmation of your booking straight away, and your timetable, course materials and joining instructions will follow in the week of the course.
Do you offer 1:1 online preparation?
Yes. Alongside the in-person course we offer one-to-one online coaching, tailored to your weak stations and your exam date — ideal if you can’t travel to Ealing, you’re sitting a resit, or you want focused help on a particular station. Get in touch to arrange it.
