Maximum 6 candidates per course. Plenty of practice including a mock interview
To ensure an optimal learning experience and, particularly, that everyone can practise as much as possible we never take more than 6 candidates on each course. That means that you will be able to get plenty of attention throughout the day and will also have the chance to raise at length any personal issues you want to discuss.
Because we only accept six people on each consultant interview course, we can give you a lot of personal time and focus on getting you to practise. That includes a participation throughout the day but also a mock interview in the afternoon, following which you will receive personal feedback and valuable pointers to help you make the most of your preparation.
We continue to support you after the course
The course fee gives you access to our post-course support service. When you start to prepare seriously for your interview, you will inevitably come across issues you want to discuss further or areas which you would like more advice on. We are at your disposal to discuss those with you. This support service has no time limit; so if you are attending the course now for a locum post and want some further advice a year later for a substantive post, we will be there for you. This is normally provided via email and, when needed, over the phone.
We don't just TEACH you, we COACH you
We pride ourselves on the fact that we do not simply impart information in the hope that you will retain it. Instead we make sure that you understand the concepts properly and are able to adapt them to your own needs and personality. Basically we want to make sure that you "get it".
We run many courses a week so you can find a date that suits you
The most important thing when you prepare for your interview is to find a date that suits your needs. For that reason, we organise up to 10 courses a week, both on weekends and weekdays so you can find the date that suits you most. We are the only ones who can offer that (this is also what allows us to keep the number of participants low in each consultant interview course).
Fully up-to-date with interview questions and current NHS issues
The course covers a wide range of questions and issues, all of which have come up at interviews in the past 12 months. We keep a close eye on what comes up to make sure that you prepare judiciously. Over the past 15 years, we have coached thousands of candidates for consultant interviews, many of whom have fed back what they were asked; so that is a lot of knowledge and a lot of questions!
High recommendation rate & high success rate
97% of our candidates obtain a post within 2 interviews. We are also proud to say that, in all the feedback that we have received, the vast majority 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.
