In order to cover the majority of the information required, we have an extensive Interview skills course training manual which is sent to you at least ten days before the course is due to begin, to allow you to read, learn and digest the material.

We have a unique one to one intensive interview skills training, which recreates the pressure of a real interview, being interviewed by interviewers in front of your course peers. By the end of the course, this initially daunting prospect often becomes much less fearful to the candidate.

The course is hard work, requires thorough pre-course preparation and represents a long Saturday. However, the rewards can be fantastic, allowing you to have that Consultant, SpR, SHO, ST, F1 and F2 post you have been moving towards your entire career.
