"I came to the course off the recommendation of a fellow registrar who had been here and successfully passed the course. Over the two days, it's quite heavy with viva practice which has been massively beneficial in terms of the caseload and the variety of cases that you see. I would definitely recommend the course to colleagues."

"The reason I chose the SouthWest course is because excellent experience in vivas, we have multiple opportunities to be on the hot seat and see lots of different cases. The feedback we get is excellent. The combination of this with the online material as a whole makes this course a very valuable experience."

"I enjoyed the course very well and it prepared me very well for the exam which I passed. I tried to come back as an examiner. There is a very friendly atmosphere. I recommend it for both, to prepare for the exam and for people who also want to teach. I have attended several courses and most of the courses weren't too great. I felt that this course is more ho..." Read more

"The course is an excellent opportunity to a wide range of different cases for the candidate and to practice viva technique. They are relatively representative of the exam scenario and to observe other candidates going through the same thing. So you can learn from other people's skills. Also, for examiners it is an important way to refresh your own knowledge..." Read more

"I found the course material given online one month prior to the course pretty helpful. There were more balanced cases and not findings that were too complicated. I was more of a balanced course. It was as close to the exam as possible. I would definitely recommend it to people taking the exam the next time round. The course is definitely helpful in fine tuni..." Read more

"I was after a course that carried all aspects of the exam, particularly the written. Id been on a couple of other courses and while the vivas are covered. The writtens are quite light and I like the fact that it was so extensive on this course. It is the fact that you can search the computer. There are extensive rapids packets and long cases packets. You can..." Read more

"I think no other course packs in so much in one course. Normally, any other course you go on, you only get three or four packets of longs as a maximum. Most courses only have two packets. The amount of exam material which is packed in this course, I think no other course does it. I think the most value was observing the vivas as well as doing them at the sam..." Read more

"I came to know about the course from a friend who had passed the exam after taking this course. The most value came from one on one interaction with a lot of examiners practicing in the UK. They gave us a lot of valuable feedback. We had close to two hours of viva. That was the most important thing. One of the main things was the new cases I came to learn ab..." Read more

This is unlike other courses because there are extensive cases and they give you in-depth information about the FRCR exam and that is very important in order to pass the exam. It is a very good course and well organised. The viva is the most important thing in any exam and in the FRCR exam i..." Read more

"I have been attending the SouthWest FRCR course over the past two days. We have faced a lot of vivas which replicate the scenario that happens in the FRCR course. Along with the vivas, I have been able to do some rapid reporting cases as well as long cases which are practiced just before the exams. That helps a lot mentally because it gives you a certain con..." Read more

"Your online platform worked really well compared to exam.... in my station unfortunately the mouse didn't work so had to use up and down button and that was time consuming. The short cuts sometimes didn't work well during the exam. I do not know how many of them had similar such problems.In my opinion, the cases in the exams were of similar complexities as y..."

"I booked on the FRCR course because it looked like a very comprehensive course over four days covering all aspects of the 2B examination including the viva. I was particularly interested in getting a lot of experience for the viva. In addition to that, there are plentiful rapid reporting cases, probably more than other courses. That was a very good part of t..." Read more

"Great venue. The viva sessions were about the right level for the exam with useful feedback comments. The quality of the long cases and rapids packets was high.If you're struggling to get enough viva sessions locally, then this course can help fill the gap. If you're rapid scores aren't very good this course will provide you with loads of practice."

"There's been a great mix of different vivas. We've had four vivas over two days. It replicates the exam format where we have 15 minutes with one switch to another one. They give us a 10 minutes mix where we get to sit and watch two other candidates go through. You have two other candidates and it is split over three sessions per day. You get to sit and go th..."
