Comments Thank you very much. Excellent OSCE stations - very realistic, well put together. Anatomy lecture is good but will be better if more time allocated to it. Very good course - I would recommend it to others. OSCE were very useful and were selected very thoughtfully.

Comments Day 2 much better than day 1 - a lot more material covered, probably because of nature of OSCE and group Viva practice. Excellent course, it is very useful thank you all. Very good and useful teaching. Anatomy lecture very good. Most examiners kind and helpful, more feedback at end of OSCE would be helpful but understand time constraint.

comments Need more feedback on graphs. Excellent constructive feedback on vivas. Anatomy very clear and concise, would be helpful for larynx anatomy too? Lecture on some nerve blocks too. I understand there is a lot to cover in 2 days but otherwise a brilliant course. Give answers for clinical and scenarios. Graph station is very useful, need more time. Few videos of sim man scenarios and discussing them in an interactive way would be useful.

Comments Good information with OSCE Graphs & figures - perhaps a good idea to show the correct graphs and figures at end of the question & answer. Scenarios on simulators on a printed sheet will be more helpful. Very helpful feedback in the physiology/pharmacology VIVA's.

Post exam comments I attended both your MCQ and OSCE/VIVA course for primary FRCA at Coventry which was in one word excellent. I have now finally passed the Primary what a relief! Your course really helped change my revision to be more effective. I found the course very helpful and have now passed.

Post exam comments thank you very much for a good course you organized, me and my friends are all passed I am glad to say that managed to pass both parts of the exam Your course and books were of great help Thank you to you and your team for your efforts

Post exam comments I passed the OSCE and thank you for the course and advice. Just to say, your course is by far the best Primary FRCA course currently running (and I can confidently say that having been on the majority of courses going!)
