In February 2023, 21 of the 21 paediatric registrars in New Zealand (100%) who participated in the Thursday afternoon FRACP Weekly Teaching Programme and the Intensive Two-Week Course passed the written examination. Also, 176 Australian-based trainees participated in one of our teaching programmes in 2022, and 66 of them took both the Weekly Teaching Programme and the Intensive Two-Week Course.
Our Weekly Teaching Programme is aimed at helping you study and cover the curriculum over the year. As well as the topic presentations for 30 weeks, the monthly practice MCQs are also crucial as part of that process. Our question writers develop and update all the questions for these practice MCQs annually. At the end of each practice MCQ, we provide detailed feedback and explanations.
Selected feedback from Weekly Teaching Programme participants 2023 - 2024
“The duration of the course ensured that I had a good steady pace for my study in the 9 or so months leading up to the exam. The feedback sessions were helpful, and the convenors were very approachable and non- judgemental creating a supportive environment for us as candidates to share our thoughts and rationale for answers.”
“Succinct and relevant information. Great quality practice exams”
“Very helpful topics covering exam focused questions.”
“Giving an indication of scope of knowledge that it typically tested in the exam, and providing updates to practice that may be examined.”
“The MCQs were very helpful. The lecturers were excellent.”
“Regularity of lectures, very organised programme, felt like I covered a lot of key content.”
“Really great variety of topics. Found it a good mix from all specialties.”
Our Intensive Two-Week Course aims to cram and revise as much as possible in ten and a half days. From 2020, we have made this course hybrid, accepting in-person and online attendees. As a result, we didn’t have to restrict participants, and more Australian-based trainees could benefit from the course.
