Supporting GP trainees with their MRCGP SCA preparation through our flexible
and pre-recorded SCA preparation course and personalised coaching programme!
The MRCGP SCA Preparation Course
and One-to-One coaching bundle
How does our SCA course and coaching bundle support GP trainees with their MRCGP SCA preparation?
The MRCGP SCA is your final hurdle before qualifying as an independent GP, and for many, it’s a daunting experience.
We appreciate that you are an experienced doctor, and you do not need to be spoonfed and retaught how to consult patients, we do not provide formulaic “copy-cat” sentences and phrases that could be easily detected from experienced examiners! Our course aims to fine-tune your already fantastic skills!
The coaching package is a tailored experience to your individual consulting needs. Within the coaching sessions, you will have one-to-one sessions with our GP educators to help you fine-tune your consultation skills through practice, feedback and the use of roleplay.
Why is there a need for an SCA personalised
one-to-one coaching programme?
Through our experience of helping GP trainees with their MRCGP SCA preparation,
we know that SCA mock exams alone are not helpful in passing their SCA exam.
Here’s why…
01
You attend a mock exam - and you potentially underperform on your first go.
02
You receive feedback.
03
There’s no feedback loop – in effect, you must purchase another mock course to see if you’ve improved with their feedback.
04
This makes absolutely no sense to our team!
We offer an alternative, which is based on improving
personalised outcomes for individual GP trainees!
We offer personalised one-to-one one-hour MRCGP SCA coaching sessions.
Our programme is delivered by two experienced GP educators.
Our one-to-one programme will focus on unique elements
of the consultations and marking domains.
Over the programme, we will focus on the progression of your skills
and test this using professional actors.
You will enhance your skills through a continuous feedback loop.
How will the SCA preparation course and
SCA coaching support me as a GP trainee?
The course is built on four key stages.
Internal phase - learn about how you consult.
Foundation phase - learn about our consultation boosters to supplement your skills.
Execution phase - use our consultation boosters in your consultation practice.
Reflection phase - reassess and re-review the impact of your changes.

How is the MRCGP SCA personalised
one-to-one coaching delivered?
Our one-to-one coaching consists of four or six one-hour coaching sessions
and our monthly live education programme and course is included.
Each session is personalised to your individualised needs as a GP trainee.
If you use our coaching programme, you will receive unlimited
access to the MRCGP SCA course until you PASS the MRCGP SCA.

Our MRCGP SCA one-to-one coaching
programme is limited per SCA sitting.
Currently, we have limited this coaching programme to eight GP trainees per sitting,
so if you’d like to secure your place, we would encourage you to get in touch quickly!
We deliver the programme
in small cohorts.
You will receive access to the SCA preparation course immediately.
You will receive four or six sessions depending on your package preference.
We have pre-scheduled dates per cohort, and we will introduce them to you before you confirm your coaching booking.
Package Two is best suited to trainees that have failed, as we have almost always noticed that we have to spend time on addressing bad habits, over-analysis of cases and confidence, which is better met over six sessions!
