"I was juggling night duty in Pune and the whole MRCS syllabus. The recorded lessons meant I could learn at 3am after a shift, and the live OSCE circuits felt very close to the real Part B. I passed on my first attempt."
MRCS (Membership of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons) Certification Course
MRCS Part A and Part B preparation for aspiring surgeons worldwide.

Course overview
The MRCS is the gateway examination for surgical training in the UK, Ireland and much of the Commonwealth. Our programme covers both Part A and Part B in a structured 18-week cycle, with anatomy at its core and OSCE practice built around the current college stations. Every module is taught by surgeons who sat these papers themselves within the last few years.
