North of England FRCS Section 2 Viva Course — May 2026

Excellent pattern resembling the exam. The feedback is very useful and covered lots of scenarios.

Fantastic 1-to-1 face-to-face vivas with knowledgeable faculty and well-prepared scenarios.

Really good mock with realistic questions.

Two days of intense face-to-face vivas, set up exactly how I would expect — a round-robin approach. The long-case segment was especially good. I really valued going round with someone for a few stations to see how others answer questions, and the complexity and depth of the long cases were most helpful.

Having a full circuit of exam stations with individual feedback was really helpful and not something available elsewhere. The subspecialty afternoon was also so helpful.

For HPB we essentially had private 1:1 tutoring covering the whole HPB syllabus on the Sunday afternoon. This was exceptional and more than made up for there being no pre-course lecture specific to HPB.

A fantastic course with the best faculty I have ever had at a course.

It mimicked the real exam. The advice given was concise and stressed exactly what questions will come up in the exam.

An excellent overview of Part 2.

A really big topic but very well covered without trying to do too much — and thank you for keeping to time, which was very much appreciated.

Excellent teaching. The presentation was very good and every slide was informative.

An excellent session — very thorough. The breadth of topics and the pace were great.
