Comments• Thank you very much. Excellent OSCE stations - very

realistic, well put together. • Anatomy lecture is good but will be better if more time

allocated to it. • Very good course - I would recommend it to others.• OSCE were very useful and were selected very

thoughtfully.

Comments• Day 2 much better than day 1 - a lot more material

covered, probably because of nature of OSCE and group Viva practice.

• Excellent course, it is very useful thank you all. • Very good and useful teaching. • Anatomy lecture very good. • Most examiners kind and helpful, more feedback at end

of OSCE would be helpful but understand time constraint.

comments• Need more feedback on graphs. • Excellent constructive feedback on vivas. • Anatomy very clear and concise, would be helpful for

larynx anatomy too? Lecture on some nerve blocks too.• I understand there is a lot to cover in 2 days but

otherwise a brilliant course. • Give answers for clinical and scenarios. • Graph station is very useful, need more time. • Few videos of sim man scenarios and discussing them in

an interactive way would be useful.

Comments

• Good information with OSCE • Graphs & figures - perhaps a good idea to show the

correct graphs and figures at end of the question & answer.

• Scenarios on simulators on a printed sheet will be more helpful.

• Very helpful feedback in the physiology/pharmacology VIVA's.

Post exam comments• I attended both your MCQ and

OSCE/VIVA course for primary FRCA at Coventry which was in one word excellent.

• I have now finally passed the Primary what a relief! Your course really helped change my revision to be more effective.

• I found the course very helpful and have now passed.

Post exam comments• thank you very much for a good course you

organized, me and my friends are all passed

• I am glad to say that managed to pass both parts of the exam

• Your course and books were of great help

• Thank you to you and your team for your efforts

Post exam comments

• I passed the OSCE and thank you for the course and advice.

• Just to say, your course is by far the best Primary FRCA course currently running (and I can confidently say that having been on the majority of courses going!)
