CONCLUSION & END |
WHY COME TO ISC MEDICAL FOR YOUR GP INTERVIEW
Small group of 6 participants:
In order to maintain the high quality of our courses, we accept only 6 participants on each GP interview course. You will therefore be able to raise and address at length any personal issues you want to discuss.
Mock interviews and plenty of personal practice:
Since there are only 6 participants in each course, you go through a proper mock interview with GP interview coaching.
We don't just TEACH you, we COACH you:
Whilst others may simply give you a few facts and techniques, we actually spend some time with you so that you understand the concepts, you are able to use them and apply them to your own circumstances. We support you personally throughout the day and even after the course, with our free email follow-up service.
Fully up-to-date with current NHS issues:
During the course we will be working on the most commonly asked GP interview questions in the last twelve months. We will also deal with all major current NHS issues.
High recommendation rate & high success rate:
We are proud to say that, in all the feedback that we have received, absolutely every single participant felt that the course met all their expectations, was of very high standard, with the personal approach that they were looking for, and offered extremely good value in relation to others that they might have been to. Our success rate is also very good: Over 90% of our candidates get a substantive post within 2 interviews following the course; a direct feature of our small group coaching.
