What is the RACGP examination?

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) fellowship assessment covers applied knowledge, key feature problems and a clinical competency exam. It is the main route to fellowship and independent general practice in Australia.

Can international doctors sit RACGP exams?

Yes — international medical graduates on an approved pathway can sit RACGP assessments, and preparation is usually done remotely alongside clinical work.

How long will it take me to prepare for the RACGP examinations?

Most working doctors give themselves 12–20 weeks with our programme, studying around 8–10 hours a week. Your pace is flexible — everything is recorded so you can catch up around shifts.

What happens if I fail the exam on my first attempt?

You keep access to the course materials and mentor community for a full year, and we run free strategy sessions for candidates preparing for a re-sit. See our full re-sit policy in your enrolment confirmation.

Do I need to be in the UK to take this course?

No. All teaching happens online and our students join from more than 40 countries. Live sessions are timed in rotating slots so cohorts across Asia, Africa and the Middle East can attend comfortably.

Will I get a certificate at the end?

Yes — a WispGold Certificate of Completion is issued once you finish all modules and pass the internal mock. This is a study certificate, not the Royal College qualification itself.

Is the Australian content different from UK courses?

Yes, and it matters. Modules use Australian guidelines, PBS prescribing and Medicare context rather than NHS pathways.

How much does the course cost, and how do I pay?

Pricing is confirmed on enquiry. Once an advisor sends your quote you can pay by card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), Apple Pay or Google Pay in GBP, USD, EUR, INR, AED or NGN. Hospital and university cohorts of five or more can pay by bank transfer.

What happens after I submit the enrolment form?

A student advisor emails you within one working day with your cohort dates, the student-area login and a short readiness questionnaire. If you'd rather talk first, book a free 20-minute consultation from our contact page.

Can I get help planning a re-sit if I don't pass?

Yes. Your access runs for 12 months from enrolment, so you keep every lesson, mock and mentor channel. We also run a free re-sit strategy session where a tutor reviews your score report with you and rebuilds your revision plan.

A student on this course

"I had failed OET twice before finding WispGold. Sarah broke down every letter task in a way I finally understood, and the speaking clinics gave me the confidence to answer a real patient without freezing. Passed with a B in every sub-skill on my next sitting."
