What Our PLAB 2 Candidates Say
Dr Ahmed – Egypt
I struggled with structuring consultations before joining the course. The step-by-step system and repeated timed stations completely changed how I approach PLAB 2. The mock feedback was detailed and honest, which helped me correct small but important mistakes. I passed on my first attempt.
Dr Sara – Pakistan
The SimMan sessions and manikin practice made a huge difference. It felt like real exam conditions, not just theory teaching. The unlimited academy access allowed me to practise daily until my exam. I walked in confident and structured.
Dr Daniel – Nigeria
The two full mocks were extremely realistic. I finally understood what examiners were looking for in communication and management. The feedback was specific and practical. I improved significantly between my first and second mock.
Dr Ameera Shaikh
The academy is very well equipped and never overcrowded, which allows real interaction and hands-on practice. I initially joined for the SimMan sessions and procedures, and I was not disappointed at all. The simulators and manikins are far better than what I’ve seen elsewhere and are kept in excellent condition. Dr Rashad and Dr Ali are supportive, approachable, and always available for guidance. The environment is calm, structured, and highly conducive to learning. I would definitely recommend it.
Dr Enaya Hassan,
I am delighted to share that I passed PLAB 2 on my first attempt. The Smart course, full mock exams, and online resources were invaluable throughout my preparation. The academy is equipped with highly sophisticated simulators and manikins, and the quality of teaching is excellent. I truly appreciated the individual attention from both the teachers and staff, who were consistently encouraging and supportive.read moreread less
