"Initially what really made me want to do this course was the fact that it was an Assess the Assessors course. Having had quite a few stints as an examiner on a number of courses which I continue to do, I would really like to know how I am doing as an examiner. So, it was good to have other assessors assessing me and of course, the additional CPD points alway..." Read more

"I booked on to the course because of a recommendation from colleagues who also took the course. From what I have experienced in the past few days, there has been a huge variety of cases covering all systems and some areas that I haven't even studied yet. These particular cases have been very useful. It's been very good to have different experiences of lots o..." Read more

"The reason I took the course is that I had a lot of good things about it from my some of my senior colleagues and online. I find that the overall package has a little bit of everything required for the exam. For me the number of vivas was very good. Slowly you'll find the technique. You'll see a lot of examiners who all give different feedback which is all v..." Read more

"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..."

"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 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 came to the SouthWest FRCR course as an examiner. I must say what a pleasant experience it has been over the past two days. I have co-examined with colleagues and have a lot of pathology myself. It was a good learning experience. I would recommend this course to future FRCR exam participants as well as fellow practitioners who want to gain experience as ex..." 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

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
