How do we differ from other providers?

Small Group Teaching:
We have limited numbers of delegates on our courses with the average group size of 6 and a maximum number of 8. This provides time for an individual approach to all our customers giving the time to focus on your application and identify your areas of strengths and more inportantly areas that need more preparation. Plenty of time is available for feedback on you and your performance and all your questions will be addresses.We do not use a lecture theatre to train 200 doctors of varying levels at the same time like other providers.

NHS Consultant Trainers:
We use NHS consultants to run this course. All consultants are experienced in the medical recrutiment process and are trained interviewers. Occassionally we also invite a phsychologist to work with our consultant to provide a different perspective on personality and interivew/interviewer interaction to give you the edge over the competition. We do not use self styled communication experts or french businessmen to run our courses like our competitors.

Comprehensive Handouts:
We routinely receive doctors who have been on other interview courses and are not satisfied with their training. We have reviewed the quality and detail of handouts that others provide and we are happy that our handouts are the most comprehensive and detailed in the market place. Our consultant interview course handouts cover your complete application from cv writing all the way to the interview day itself. Written by NHS consultants this "book" is a complete one stop for interview preparation and also includeds A4 summary pages on NHS hot topics. Combined with the individual training that you will receive you will get great training giving you the edge over others.

Video redorded mock interview performance analysis:
We offer to record your mock interview so that we can give you feedback that you can witness for yourself on the big screen. For most of our clients this is the first time that they have seen themselves perform and are amased at what simple errors they make. Video recording is optional however 99% of our customers want it. A copy of your interview is provided on DVD for you to review at home. We are the only providers of video performance analysis which highlights our dedication for quality assurance and great training at the cutting edge.

High verbal recommendation rate:
Most of our doctors come from verbal recommendations. This itself speaks volumes for the attention to detail and quality of the training that we provide.100% of our doctors would recommend this course to a friend.

High consultant appointment rate:
95% of our doctors who attend this course receive an offer of appointment to a consultant position within 2 attempts. We believe no other provider has a higher conversion rate than us.

Our Customers use us again for other training products:
We don't just provide interview training but also offer teach the teacher and management courses to doctors. Many of our interview course attendees subsequently book into one of these other courses as they are highly satisfied with the service that our company provides.

Course fees include lunch, course handouts, mock interview, and VAT. Website subscription access for post course training and a copy of your mock interview of your DVD are provided free of charge.

Case Report:

Sabeena had been unsuccessful in applying for an NHS post as a Consultant Gynaecologist for some time despite 2 previous interviews. The feedback she had received from previous AAC panels was that she came across as unstructured and disorganised. She was also told that she was not strong on management issues which would be expected as a key role within the advertised Consultant posts. She had no problems getting short listed however was over powered by the AAC panel process. Sabeena contacted us and arranged to attend the Oxford Consultant Interview Course.

During the course it became apparent that Sabeena had a very strong clinical background however lacked individual exposure to management within the NHS. Her video recorded session highlighted a dedicated and motivated individual who was too focused on clinical aspects to her application. Her factual knowledge and understanding of the workings of the NHS were poor and her opinions on how she would strategically advance the advertised post had been given no prior thought. She was also unaware of the fine balance between clinical and management representation on the AAC panel.

Sabeena received individual focused tuition on leadership, management styles and the evolution and workings on the NHS. During the day she applied her new knowledge and her performance was greatly improved especially combined with some of the great interview skills tips that she received.

“I was amazed at how during the course my problems were identified and resolved on the spot. I felt more confident about my ability and the preparatory material on management issues proved vital. I was short listed for the very next job and was successfully appointed to the post as a Consultant Gynaecologist over a favoured in house candidate. I would recommend the Oxford Consultant Interview Course to anyone who seriously wants focused, individual training of a great standard. I just wish I had gone to them earlier”.

Candidate numebrs are limited on all our courses to provide the most individual feedback and ensure the highest quality training. Places are allocated on a first come first serve basis. All courses are delivered by consultants. We are the only provider of small group video recorded interview sessions in the UK and also the only provider that gives you access to post course e-based learning material for post course study.
