Why candidates choose us
One MRCP(UK) qualified mentor for every three candidates, throughout the entire session — not just at demonstrations. Our mentors provide expert guidance across all PACES stations, helping candidates build the knowledge, clinical skills and confidence needed to succeed.
Our dedicated panel of highly qualified physicians brings over 10 years of experience in MRCP training and examinations. Since our first course in 2008, we have maintained an excellent track record, with our inaugural batch achieving a 100% pass rate.
Every station features multiple cases with classic clinical signs; you must instantly recognise these frequently encountered findings to make a diagnosis in the real PACES exam.
After our two full mock examinations under real testing conditions, candidates feel completely at ease during the actual RCP diet.
Training covers medical knowledge, communication skill, patient management, answering the examiner's questions and exam-facing behaviour — nothing left to chance.
Candidates travel from across the world for these four days. Limited admissions keep the attention individual.
The four days
The mentor teaches communication skills, ethics and breaking bad news — practised and debriefed individually — plus briefing on the exam format, marking pattern and case-by-case examination technique with live demonstration. Finally, station-wise overall feedback is given.
Rotations through respiratory, abdominal, cardiovascular and neurology cases with bedside teaching. Your mentor guides you to pick up the relevant signs by proper examination within the limited time and reach an appropriate diagnosis; clinically relevant points are discussed and mistakes rectified on the spot. Finally, station-wise overall feedback is given.
A complete mock PACES conducted under exact exam timing with typical exam cases — training you to withstand the stress and strain of the real PACES exam. Both exams are designed so that everyone can observe all the cases given to others.
A second full mock with an entirely new set of cases. Having already learnt from and corrected the mistakes of Exam 1, your confidence rises sharply as you move through every station with greater ease. Detailed individual feedback is given after both exams, so you walk into the real PACES exam fully prepared and self-assured.
By the end of these four days — after intensive station-wise teaching, real patients with typical findings, and two full mock exams with detailed individual feedback — the PACES carousel no longer feels unfamiliar. You have rehearsed every station, corrected your mistakes, and learnt to work confidently within the exam timing. You walk into the real PACES exam calm, well-prepared, and ready to truly excel.
Candidates who score above 165 out of 168 in the PACES examinations are awarded the PASS THE PACES Gold Medal. We wish every one of you the very best in achieving this distinction, and look forward to presenting the PACES Gold Medal to each of you.
In their words
"My deepest respects to our esteemed teachers Dr. Nagarajan, Dr. Alexander, Dr. Jaffer, Dr. Arijit and all the faculty members. At 50, I cleared the PACES exam in my first attempt. I am overwhelmed."
"I passed, and it would have been impossible without your guidance and teaching. Honestly, the mock carousel felt harder than the real exam — on the day, nothing surprised me."
"Thank you for all your teaching and support — I am so happy to have passed. Seeing so many different patients with typical exam findings in every station made a real difference to my learning. Coming from abroad, this course gave me exposure I simply could not get anywhere else."
