What candidates say

Anonymous feedback from ST7, ST8 and senior candidates across the 2026 cohorts.

Excellent pattern resembling the exam. The feedback is very useful and covered lots of scenarios.
Course candidate — ST7, Upper GI
★★★★★
Fantastic 1-to-1 face-to-face vivas with knowledgeable faculty and well-prepared scenarios.
Course candidate — ST8, Upper GI
★★★★★
Really good mock with realistic questions.
Course candidate — ST7, Upper GI
★★★★★
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.
Course candidate — ST7, Upper GI
★★★★★
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.
Course candidate — ST7, Breast
★★★★★
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.
Course candidate — ST8, HPB
★★★★★
A fantastic course with the best faculty I have ever had at a course.
Course candidate — ST8, Colorectal
★★★★★
It mimicked the real exam. The advice given was concise and stressed exactly what questions will come up in the exam.
Course candidate — ST7, Colorectal
★★★★★
An excellent overview of Part 2.
Course candidate — ST7, Exam Orientation
★★★★★
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.
Course candidate — ST7, Trauma & Emergency
★★★★★
Excellent teaching. The presentation was very good and every slide was informative.
Course candidate — ST7, Academic Surgery
★★★★★
An excellent session — very thorough. The breadth of topics and the pace were great.
Course candidate — ST7, Upper GI
★★★★★
The closest approximation to the actual examination I had encountered. The station-by-station structured feedback let me identify and fix weaknesses immediately rather than retrospectively.
