Post- exam feedback

Thank you for all your help during the various FRCA exam courses I have attended. I have always found them really useful and always recommend them to my junior colleagues. It has been hard work but I am pleased to say I passed!

 Thank you, I passed the exam, A large sum is due to your excellent course which again was the only course I got...and it did the trick!!

 I found the coventry course good for building my confidence and stamina on the day. And thought I learnt an invaluable amount about exam technique and the kind of questions that can arise.  Thanks for an enjoyable course

 Thank you and all your team for the excellent work you have done in all your courses, I wouldnt have passed without attending it.  Thank you for the help provided on the course, it was very useful and helpful to learn viva technique in a friendly and encouraging environment as compared with other courses which tend to be more oppressive.  Your SOE book is simply AMAZING

 Once again I attended you excellent course and managed to pass the SOEs first time - massively helped by the fact that not only my long case but also the "dreaded" anatomy clinical science SOE were almost identical to my mock exam on the course!
