Consultant Interview Course

"The course completely changed my approach to interpreting and answering interview questions. David was very approachable and honest. He was knowledgeable regarding the consultant interview process, he did not shy away from negative feedback but I was very impressed by his ability to give it without demoralising candidates. Overall I think this course has been invaluable in my interview preparation. It has identified my weaker areas/natural tendencies and allowed me to focus on highlighting my strengths."

"Excellent course. It demystified the process for me and broke down the questions so I could recognise what was really being asked. Provided a structured approach to answers and taught me how to score points and highlight the information I wanted to give. Helpful run through current NHS hot topics and comprehensive booklet to take away. Mock interviews were invaluable and I think the group was a good size to benefit from each other's experience without compromising on individual attention."

"This was an excellent course that thoroughly deserves its reputation as the class leader. Petros was clearly experienced and was very approachable. I really liked the way emphasised direct, succinct answers and he provided lots of examples to demonstrate his points. I now realise just how underprepared I was for my upcoming interview, but fortunately have been given all of the strategies and tools I feel I need to be able to represent myself properly on the big day."

"The `thinking' behind questions gave a good structure and format. Rajat's style of teaching and feedback gave me a positive approach to consultant interviews, as did the small group teaching with actual interviews. I found the course very useful and timely. I was successful in achieving a substantive consultant post at my 1st interview (which was 3 days after the course). I felt confident and prepared as most of the interview questions were similar to the ones on the course. Thank you."

"I found this a very useful course covering all aspects that will be expected from a candidate at an interview. I particularly found the mnemonics very useful at collecting my thought processes and helping me providing structured answers! I also found the feedback from the mock interviews very useful in order to improve area of weakness for the real day!"

"Very good value for money. I was impressed as the number of candidates on each course was limited and therefore more time available to concentrate on each candidate's needs. I found it was very interactive and made me feel more confident prior to my interview. Petros is a very good listener and made sure that each candidate highlighted the best in themselves. Excellent points given to improve communication during interview. I was very happy with the course and would definitely recommend it to friends. It certainly helped me to improve my communication skills and confidence and therefore I was successful in obtaining the Consultant post at my very first interview."

"I really liked that we were a small group so more chance to practice and speak. Chris was an amazing coach with very sensitive way of criticizing and making suggestion to improve. Very good suggestions to improve ourselves. Paid 100% attention to everyone's performance during practice sessions. Very approachable and friendly and made us feel at ease. Will highly recommend to my colleagues."
