"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."
RNZCGP (Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners) Preparation Course
Structured online preparation for RNZCGP assessment, built around the published blueprint.

Course overview
RNZCGP assessment is the assessment that opens the door to general practice in New Zealand practice, and preparing for it while working full clinical hours is the real challenge. This WispGold programme is built around the published RNZCGP assessment format — applied knowledge and clinical competence components — so nothing in your revision is guesswork. You start with a diagnostic review that shows exactly where your knowledge sits against the blueprint, then work through structured modules that move from core principles to the applied judgement the examiners reward. Every topic is taught by clinicians who have sat the same assessment, so the teaching stays practical: what a question is really testing, how marks are awarded, and which shortcuts cost candidates points. Weekly question sets, timed mocks under exam conditions and written feedback keep your progress measurable rather than hopeful. Because our cohorts are international, sessions are recorded and scheduled in rotating slots, and you keep access for twelve months from enrolment. WispGold is an independent education provider; our training is aligned with the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners blueprint and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners. You register for the assessment directly with them.
