Final FRCA VIVA Course evaluation

Comments  Excellent anatomy lecture – managed to inject humour into a dull subject  Excellent day, whistle stop anatomy was particularly good  Very useful – enjoyed the anatomy lecture  Best anatomy lecture I’ve attended  Overall very good and useful  In station 5 one examiner seemed to want us to follow the exact structure of the mark Well organised and very useful preparation. I feel much more confident going into the exam

Comments  Anatomy lecture was excellent  Was beginning to be rather tired and depressed by the time we reached ECG lecture  Enjoyed the course  Practise mock exam was great – My examiner was very nice and maybe a bit lenient but helped with confidence  It would be useful to do the exams in a room where only one person is being questioned  Useful practice, many thanks

Comments  Catering is excellent, extensive practice, one of the best courses for Final FRCA preparation  While it is excellent that the course is up to date, I would suggest using the long case questions from older exams.  More anatomy questions would have been useful
