Neuro 2024 attendee- Rank: 1stJust wanted to say thanks to the whole Optimise team after ranking top for my Neurology application. The info provided from the start (pre-application) through to pre-interview prep, including mock interviews, was super useful and really gave a great structure and focus to my preparation. […] I don’t think I would have achieved this outcome without the course to provide the baseline structure. Thank you!
Cardio 2024 attendee- Rank: 1stOptimise Interviews was a vital resource for me in my preparation for my NTN interview. I utilised all the resources, including knowledge videos, sample cases and, most usefully, the teaching day with mock interviews. These helped me to build up confidence going into the interview and I found the WhatsApp group useful for direct contact to the course organisers and get advice from fellow interviewees. Thank you to all of Team Optimise for helping me to secure a Cardiology number – I am so grateful.
Cardio 2024 attendee- Rank: 2ndOptimise interview is the best and possibly only resource needed to score highly in the Cardiology interview. Thanks to the whole team!
I.D. 2024 attendee- Rank: 2ndI think the course played a huge part in me getting my rank. Most useful were Rob’s overviews of microbiology (v informative) and the general interview advice videos from Balrik and Nikhil about interview techniques and condensing your answers. Id really recommend this resource for anyone doing specialty interviews – thanks again!
Renal 2024 attendee- Rank: 3rdThe optimise course and online content was critical to my success in my renal HST application. The course provided so many valuable tips and the mock interview was very helpful with great feedback. The online content Is a treasure trove of useful information which really helped structure and guide my interview prep. I would recommend the optimise course and online resource for anyone who wants to excel in their HST interview and achieve their top ranked job!
IMT 2024- Score 80/80I find this course very compact and useful for IMT interview preparation. The study resources are very helpful especially the mock interviews with feedback (good and bad answer). Those give me ideas of how to approach some scenarios. I will definitely recommend others for IMT interview preparation. Thanks to all of the OI team members who supported us to get into the training. 🙂
IMT 2024 attendee- Rank: 2ndI based my prep around the OI course and it went as well as I could’ve hoped. So fully endorse.
Resp 2024 attendee- Rank: 4thVery useful course run by competent and up to date registrars with real-life experience of the interview.
Gastro 2024 attendee- Rank: 4thThe course was really useful and came at a perfect time!
Gastro 2024 attendee- Rank: 6thAbsolutely, honestly feel the optimise course helped me to score so well in the interview, thanks!
OptimiseIMT 2024Excellent course and material providing the blueprint to scoring highly in the interview. I was an average candidate who scored exceptionally high in many parts thanks to this course.
IMT 2024 attendee- Rank: 21stThe course was fantastic – I am so grateful to all the facilitators involved with organising and running the sessions. The day was very high yield and interactive, with personalised feedback thanks to the small size of the breakout groups. I am very happy to let you know I scored 48/50 on the interview and will be taking up a post in North West London, which was my first choice of deanery. This would not have been possible without the OI course. Thank you once again!
Endo 2024 attendee- Rank: 8thI scored very well in my application. At least 50% of this was due to optimise interviews alone. In particular, I was impressed by the detail of the video resources provided, the focus on high yield topics, and above all, the amazing support and communication which came directly from the organisers. I truly feel that anyone who applies for higher specialty training would be at a disadvantage if they do not undertake the optimise interviews courses.
Rheum 2024 attendee- Rank: 9thThis course definitely helped me to improve my scores and I was able to get the job I wanted!
OptimiseIMT 2024The OI Team have been incredibly supportive throughout the entire IMT application process. The online interview practice with individualised feedback was extremely useful and feedback was specific and accurate. I also enjoyed the mock clinical and ethical scenarios which I could practice in my own time. Excellent overall!
OptimiseIMT 2024This course completely changed my perspective to be honest. I thought I was doing well until I went through this course material and then particularly that mock.
One thing which is really important and that proved game-changing for me is that it’s not about enlisting things but how you achieve something and how that’s gonna help you in future. The second thing was the buzzwords in the ethical and clinical scenarios.
OptimiseResp 24 – ranked top 10I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your support and advice in the lead up to my recent ST4 interview. The practice videos, knowledge recaps and mock interview were all very useful. I think I particularly benefitted from your strong emphasis on the structure of my answers which transformed my responses from a garbled mess to something a bit more concise! I was delighted to receive full marks across all my stations and have been offered my top job choice. Please let me know if I can help in promoting the Optimise course as I am a strong believer that it helped me a great deal! Thanks so much again.
Endo 2024 attendee- Rank: 12thThe Optimise Interviews course was everything I needed to prepare for and succeed in my endocrinology/diabetes application. It provided all necessary resources and practice as well as gave me the opportunity to meet other candidates who I then practiced with. Couldn’t recommend it enough!
OptimiseIMT 2024I did not where to start for interview prep and OptimiseIMT was the best thing I could have signed up for! The tips were constantly running through my head during interview prep and I used them all on the day. I got a job I really wanted which says it all!
Gastro 2024 attendee- Rank: 15thThe Optimise Course was the single most important ingredient in my interview preparation. I am so grateful for the course not only for waking me up and giving me the perfect balance of fear and motivation to work my hardest, but also providing a fantastically time efficient, direct, high intensity, high yield resource that more than justified the cost in time and money over and over again. I have now accepted an offer from my first choice deanery North Central East London. Thank you so much!
OptimiseIMT 2024I found Optimise Interviews very helpful for my IMT interview preparation. The videos were quite helpful in giving me a feel of how the interviews go, and how to approach the interview questions. The videos on the portfolio and ethical stations were especially helpful. I found the interview tips quite useful. The mock interviews on the day of the course provided excellent practice. Overall, I felt well prepared for the IMT interview due to Optimise Interviews and can say that it helped me score well. Would definitely recommend! Big thank you to the OI team!
OptimiseCardio 2024OI was really helpful in providing a safe space to practise interview techniques and identify shortcomings. OI helped me secure a high ranking preference.
Haem 2024 attendee- Rank: 9thThe course was super helpful in guiding my preparation and the final mock interview got me ready for my interview perfectly.
OptimiseIMT 2024I think this was a brilliant course! Compared to other resources which were essentially just question banks, this felt so much more in depth and personalised. Having the videos to work through during my own time followed by the mock really helped me get into that interview mindset. Thanks!
IMT 2024 attendee- 75/80I had applied for IMT last year as well but I was not successful. I thought I had prepared well for the interview but it did not go my way. While preparing for this year, I got to know about Optimise Interview Course. After I studied the material and attended the course, I felt very confident and very well prepared. I was confident that I would answer any question the examiners would ask me. This was possible only because of Optimise Team. Big thanks to the team.
OptimiseCardio 2023I’ve been offered my first preference post.
Thank you to you, and the entire OI team for making this a reality for me.
Thank you so much . I literally owe my success to your team.
I got my first choice of West Yorkshire, as was very bound for to my son.
IMT 2024 attendee. Score 80/80Thank you so much to the Optimise team for organising a fantastic course with really helpful resources! The team provided excellent advice on the best strategies for interview preparation, structuring answers and scoring higher level points on the day. Will highly recommend!
OptimiseDerm 2024Practising with a registrar in the afternoon session of the course was invaluable. I received specific and constructive feedback which helped me front load and structure my answers well. I got my first choice in dermatology.
OptimiseCardio 2024Optimise interviews was instrumental in my interview preparation and ultimate success. From listening to the podcasts and tips from previous applicants on walks and car journeys to making notes on their knowledge updates and testing myself on their clinical stations and vignettes, it was a perfect framework for my preparation and I can’t thank them enough.
OptimiseCardio 2024“The mock circuits were incredibly useful – especially regarding gaining a grasp of how the stations are laid out, salient points to mention in an interview setting and just gaining a little confidence.
I joined the course on word-of-mouth and with very little practice. I didn’t feel like I had enough time to benefit from it really but was advised to join and the mock interview practice was just exceptional! All the online resources are absolutely fantastic too. I’ve had my earphones in between clinic and commuting all week so it’s been wonderful from a preparation point of view.
I looked through all the different resources on the internet for this interview and to the opinions of my colleagues, and Optimise Interviews came out strongest – even if they are not the first result on Google search!! I take solace from the fact that they have confidence in their material and technique to know that candidates seeking high-yield, worthwhile preparation and practice material will find their exceptionally useful resources!”
OptimiseEndo 2024It was the best decision for me to join this course. I’m currently on maternity leave and have done 2 months of IMT3 before going on maternity leave. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do the application and interview but I got a lot of confidence and excellent tips from OI course and I think it was the only reason I got such a good interview score and ranking and got my first choice preference. Many thanks OI team.
OptimiseIMT 2024Optimise was very useful in connecting me with fellow interviewees to form a very supportive community where we could ask questions, practice and encourage each other without the fear of failure. The mock interviews were particularly useful in building my confidence and helped me to stay calm on the actual day. It also highlighted some questions which I would not have prepared for if I had not known. I would not have done as well without Optimise. Thank you to all who organised this.
OptimiseHaem 2024The OI course was exceptionally useful in helping me prepare for my Haem interview! Not only did it run me through the way to approach each station, the personal mocks with the faculty were invaluable as I was able to work on my skills with their feedback. Highly recommended!
OptimiseGeris 2024The interview course was very helpful to the interview. The questions on the mock interview day and the course were very similar to the actual interview. All the examiners were so helpful. The feedback during the mock interview was especially helpful in fine tuning answers.
OptimiseIMT 2024As an overseas doctor, the application was a new thing I never experienced and optimise course- online and workshops- could help me a lot to understand this process especially the interview and be relaxed about it in a way that could make it possible to get a number. Great, thanks for the whole team.
OptimiseResp 2024Optimise Interview 100% enabled me to secure my first choice Respiratory job. The combination of online resources, webinar day plus WhatsApp groups were all invaluable. I felt significantly more prepared than I thought possible. On the day of the interview, all the questions I was asked I had practiced in some form in advance and had good structures in my head. I have already recommended OI to many, and will continue to do so!
OptimiseIMT 2024Thank you for your hard work, I really enjoyed the course! The facilitators were knowledgeable with the latest guidelines which really helped. I learnt how to structure my answers and the best tip I received from the course was to include personal examples with each answer which the examiners valued.
Resp 2024 attendee- Rank: 14thI found the Optimise interview course very helpful during my interview preparation. I had already done a lot of reading but found when practicing out loud I sounded nervous – the course helped me get over this and definitely improved my confidence and structure in delivering answers. I scored very well in my interview following the course and was successful in getting my first choice of training post. Thank you!
OptimiseIMT 2024The Optimise Interviews course did help me prepare in a much better format than what I could have done alone. The rank which I have achieved is probably because of my dedication hard work and also the format which OI has shown it has also lead me to participate in the workshop and also attend Mocks with other interview prepping candidates
IMT 2024- Score 78/80100 percent recommend this course ! It’s run by very dedicated people and you will definitely get a number if you attend this course !! Thank you so much guys !!
Neuro 2024 attendee- Rank: 18thThe course was well structured, and with very knowledgeable facilitators, especially the neurology lead. I am grateful that it put me in an slightly uncomfortable interview situation prior to the real thing. Thank you – I will now be confident in getting a job this year.
OptimiseIMT 2024Amazing course. Prepared me well for the interview questions, especially portfolio and clinical. Scored well in those. Also helped me get the most amount of points for my application. Landed my first choice job preference which was unimaginable a year ago. Massive, massive thanks to the team.
OptimiseResp 2023Hi Team Optimise,
Wanted to let you know I got an offer for acute medicine in NW London and respiratory in KSS. The respiratory course definitely helped me in preparation for this.
Thanks for organising this.
OptimiseGastro 2024OI helped me optimize my prep. I think the resources are great; I completely depended on them. I also found great study partners to whom I owe my success.
OptimiseIMT 2024I had applied for IMT last year as well but I was not successful. I thought I had prepared well for the interview but it did not go my way. While preparing for this year, I got to know about Optimise Interview Course. After I studied the material and attended the course, I felt very confident and very well prepared. I was confident that I would answer any question the examiners would ask me. This was possible only because of Optimise Team. Big thanks to the team.
OptimiseCardio 2024Thank you to Optimise for guiding me in my ST4 Cardiology interview preparations. The course, online contents, interview mocks were all spot on and the perfect preparations for me. I managed to do well because of the guidance from the team especially on the structured approach which Optimise teaches you. Would highly recommend 😀
OptimiseNeuro 2024The course was fantastic and extremely helpful- firstly to give me some baseline information on how exactly to prepare. I would say 70% of the questions I got asked in my interview were covered in the optimise interviews course and for the questions which were not expected I was able to use frameworks I had learnt on the course to answer them. I would reccomend this course for anyone applying for ST4 training.
OptimiseCardio 2024OI is an excellent interview preparation platform and has been the key reason I was able to make significant improvements in answering my interview questions and scores. Highly recommended for cardiology interviews.
The online data question bank, vignettes and podcasts covered all the salient points needed to ace the interview and is an excellent revision tool.
Interview course proved to be a great way to consolidate my interview preparations and also helped me identify glitches in my presentation and communication styles and make necessary improvements. It also was a great platform to ask questions to the organisers and get personalised tips and tricks.
All in all, brilliant content and excellent initiative. Thanks to all the organisers!
OptimiseCardio 2024The course has indeed made a big change in my interview preparation. The resource videos were extremely informative and helpful for me. I like the idea of good and bad answers and the remarks given to improve for bad answers are gold. Knowledge update videos are my favourite. Especially cardiology portions really helped me for the way I will present my answers in the interview. So it helped me aced my interview this time. Thank you!
OptimiseNeuro 2023Just to let you know I have landed my dream Neurology job in North Central East London (Queen’s square then Barts hospitals) and I ranked first in this round…Thank you so much for all your help, Optimise Interview was definitely the best investment I made!…Interviews have always been a struggle for me, so I am really thankful for all your help and if there is any other way to get involved to help future candidates, I would be super keen as well.
OptimiseCardio 2023I wanted to share some good news, I feel slightly overwhelmed with emotion but i just wanted to let you guys know I got full marks and ranked 7th in the country for Cardiology. Honestly the help you and all the team on the course gave was really invaluable and I’m so grateful for all the advice you guys have given me and honestly don’t think I could have done it without you.
OptimiseID 2024This course and the online resources have definitely help me in my interview prep. Having the opportunity to have two mock interviews with people that had interview no long ago was of real value and I learnt a lot from it, not only for specialty interview but in general. I will 100% recommend to future applicants.
OptimiseRenal 2023Balrik and Nikhil are great guys
OptimiseIMT 2024Absolutely!
Optimise Interviews played an indispensable role in my preparation for the IMT interview. Their platform provided a supportive community of fellow candidates, invaluable mock interviews with experienced Medical registrars, and a treasure trove of high-quality study materials and videos. Thanks to Optimise Interviews, I felt confident and well-prepared, ultimately leading to a successful interview experience. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to excel in their medical interviews.
Rheum 2024 attendee- Rank: 11thThe course and preparatory materials on the website were everything I needed to excel in my interview. It was well worth it!!!!
IMT 2024- Score 78/80It’s a wonderful resource and clearly helped me to plan my strategy for interview. I was clear after attending the course how much time I need to give to each section.
Rheum 2024 attendee- Rank: 20thVery thorough preparation course and resources and the mock interview was very helpful. No nasty surprises in the real interview and I got my top choice job. Thank you!
OptimiseEndo 2023Hello let me update you , the endocrine interview result just comes out and I got the rank 15 out of 127, still awaiting the offers to be released. Thanks to Optimize interview for good advice and best practice that I have ever had for interview preparation.
OptimiseCardio 2024I can honestly testify that attending the OptimiseCardio course, alongside regularly using the preparation material available on the website a few months prior to the interview, made a huge difference to my interview technique and skills. I was able to score a much higher mark compared to my previous attempt, which allowed me to secure my first choice deanery!
OptimiseCardio 2024Optimise was a fantastic course. I got my first choice job and ranked very highly, and this course provided all the resources I needed to achieve this.
OptimiseCardio 24 – ranked top 20The online content and practice sessions were the core of my revision. The knowledge videos were invaluable and filled with great 5/5 points some of which I used in the interview. The practice sessions highlighted the importance of structure in answering questions and the structure demonstrated in the mock scenarios is something I took forward into my interview stations and I think a key aspect why I scored well in the interview.
OptimiseIMT 2024The Optimise IMT course was an excellent resource for the interview. The presentations delivered by the Optimise team were very clear, concise and highlighted important high yield tips. The feedback from the event was very useful and helped me refine my interview technique and the 2-minute presentation in particular. The course was therefore extremely helpful and it helped me achieve 5s instead of 4s in most of my interview scores, which had a significant impact on my overall ranking.
OptimiseResp 2024I am so grateful to the Optimise Interview team for their excellent guidance and direction in helping me prepare for my Respiratory ST4 interview. The online videos and information helped me direct my interview preparation. The mock interview was invaluable. I have already recommended Optimise Interviews to friends and colleagues who will be applying to higher speciality training next year.
OptimiseResp 2024The course was key to my success at the interview. The actual day was very well organised and went through each part of the interview in depth. It was very useful to hear from people who had gone through the same interview process before. The WhatsApp groups helped me find other candidates to practice with online. I found this extremely useful. I wouldn’t have been able to get as much practice in otherwise!
OptimiseCardio 2024Optimise Course and online content was my sole resource for my interview prep as I had very little time to prep because of my family commitments. And, I believe it really prepped me well and I felt very confident in the interview. Moreover, It has improved my cardiology knowledge significantly which would help in smooth transitioning to Cardio training.
Resp 2024 attendee- Rank: 16thI received my top choice offer in the North West deanery for Respiratory. Very grateful for this excellent course that helped me tremendously in achieving this! 100% would recommend.
IMT 2024 attendee- Score 79/80I’m so glad I opted to take the Optimise course. Before, I felt like I really didn’t know what to expect from the IMT interview process, and it was invaluable in giving me a clear starting point for my revision and helping me to structure my preparation. I know I wouldn’t have done as well as I did without it. Thankyou!
OptimiseEndo 2024I really recommend this course. I went from not knowing how to prepare for this interview to having a structured approach and plenty of practice. I met colleagues applying for the same specialty and was able to continue practising with them ensuring I was able to be best prepared for the interview when the time came. The mock scenarios were incredibly helpful at providing knowledge and a list of topics to learn also.
OptimiseEndo 2024Really useful course, in terms of outlining effective strategies and structuring answers when approaching interview questions. Useful range of specialty specific clinical scenarios in diabetes and endo. Was also very useful to do mock interview practice and get feedback from SpRs in the specific specialty
OptimiseNeuro 2024Thank you so so much Optimise – you have helped me secure my first choice job in London for Neurology! I started off my preparation with your ‘tips and tricks’ section on the online platform and this was key in making sure that I was fully prepared for the interview. Your course was very comprehensive and thank for going through how to structure answers.
IMT 2024- Score 80/80This course took my interview preparation further and absolutely contributed to my full marks at interview. The focussed knowledge database, real-time practice with feedback from IMTs and registrars, excellent leadership from clearly well-prepared course leaders and the invaluable platform to connect with others on the group chat for peer practice altogether made my interview prep more thorough and well-rounded. I did also use other resources, but Optimise without a doubt played a significant role in my success. I ranked within the top ~150 in the country who received full marks and I couldn’t ask for a better outcome!
OptimiseIMT 2024There are two things that made Optimise Interviews stand out to me:
1. They provided me with a structure for excelling in all stations. Following their blueprint, I was able to add anecdotes and examples that then made the answers personal to me. On the day of the interview, even though I was extremely anxious because of the structures that I had already put in place for each station, I was able to think through the questions and answer them systematically.
2. The mock interview circuit was very good preparation for the actual interview. The stations were simulated very closely to how the IMT interview is and it gave me a very thorough overview of how it would be like on the day of the interview.
The key to succeeding in any interview is preparation, and that is what the team at Optimise Interviews do: they maximise the potential of preparation.
OptimiseCardio 2024I highly recommend this course for cardiology interview preparation. The content on the website is very high yield and so easy to use. The faculty is very approachable and has the best interest of candidates at heart. The mock was very useful and allowed me to meet other candidates to prepare with and this is what made the big difference for me. Thanks OI team!
IMT 2024- Score 80/80I found the course and online content extremely helpful in my preparation. The vignettes were useful to practice independently and with a partner. The 5 star answer tips provided in the model answers were really helpful in making you think outside the box, and as an acting IMT / future medical registrar. The most helpful part I found was when there was a WhatsApp group where we could share tips, ask questions and revise with others. Thank you so much for putting this together – this definitely helped in my revision!
OptimiseCardio 2024I attended Cardiology interview course in both cycles and it was very helpful for my preparation. As I was preparing for my PACES exam at the same time as Cardiology interview, I did not have much time to read any books or guidelines in details but the course and online videos concised all the required material for me. The mock circuits made me comfortable with the butterfly effect as well. I have already recommended this course to IMT1 and IMT2 colleagues.
OptimiseIMT 2024I struggled to get a good rank last year (178) and optimize really helped me improve my interview skills. My rank this year is 25 (with station score of 10,10,10,10,9. I am the same kind of doctor now as I was last year but the only difference is to present your best version in a short online interview and this course was a massive help in ensuring that. Thank you guys for your help.
OptimiseIMTHi [team],
I hope you’re doing well!
I wanted to let you know that I got my top choice for IMT in north west London!

I would definitely recommend this course to those applying to IMT! (Please post anonymously – thank you!)

The examiners were lovely and the tips given during the course has been extremely helpful as well. Highly recommended for anyone thinking of using this resource for application / interview prep!
OptimiseGastro 2024Did well – meticulously well organised and yield-intensive for the time available. Ideal spread of time between large and small group sessions, paced and structured so as to maximise what candidates could gain from the course without being overwhelmed.
OptimiseResp 2024Very well-organised course. The slide showing how to link a few CV experiences to various skills (teamwork, leadership) was very useful. It’s going to make my revision a lot more efficient!
OptimiseEndo 2024I really recommend this course. I was struggling to get into the mindset of the interview as it had been some time since I attended an interview, but going on this course has helped to kickstart the process and I really enjoyed the teaching from the day, as well as the discussions.
OptimiseIMT 2024I’m so glad I opted to take the Optimise course. Before, I felt like I really didn’t know what to expect from the IMT interview process, and it was invaluable in giving me a clear starting point for my revision and helping me to structure my preparation. I know I wouldn’t have done as well as I did without it. Thankyou!
IMT 2024- Score 79/80Optimise gave a very good idea of the interview and preparation. The Mock session gave me areas of improvement, which helped me improve my presentation and the clinical scenario station gave a very good understanding of what’s to be expected on the interview. Overall highly recommended for interview preparation.
OptimiseIMT 2024The online content, mock interview and session was really helpful. High yielding questions and answers were really helpful. Most useful part was the group where anyone could practice with anyone at anytime. Practice is the key which was supported by Optimise zoom meeting link. Thank you so much for your guidance.

OptimiseIMT 2024The Optimise Interviews course and online content were invaluable for my preparation for interview! Their advice is highly relevant and super helpful. I will recommend it to anyone applying for IMT!
OptimiseIMT 2024This course hugely improved my performance at interview – without it, I would’ve been wholly unprepared, really grateful for the team. The Saturday session they put on was excellent, could not fault.
IMT 2024- Score 79/80I found Optimise Interviews extremely useful in my preparation. The online content highlighted key concepts and the course provided great feedback on how to improve. I would recommend optimise interviews to all future candidates!

OptimiseID 2024Really helpful to get bespoke feedback, made my final preparation more focused.
OptimiseNeuro 2024Thank you so much for all the support and materials, really helped me to feel prepared on the day.

Resp 2024 attendee- Rank: 15thReally useful resource which not only provided information on some key topics but also provided a community where we could support each other through the interview process.
OptimiseCardio 2024The clinical update videos helped me a lot in structuring my answers to get a 10 in my clinical station. The interview course was very useful and I’ve utilised the feedback to make my answers more succinct and structured. Considering the new cardiology interview format is now awarding scores for communication skills, structuring the answer is even more important. My application score was not very high but the interview scores helped to boost my rank a lot. So I hope this could motivate others who are in similar situations.
IMT 2024 attendee- Rank: 14thThis was a very useful course that provided really good insight into the interview process! It had greatly helped in my preparation. Thank you!
OptimiseDerm 2024I had to cancel the date I was booked for a mock and without being questioned, it was re-booked. The examiner was very friendly. I learnt from her feedback and I will implement the changes in my pre-existing notes.
OptimiseCardio 2024Mock stations were very helpful. Morning stations helped me learn some ideas of developing structure when answering. That was also amazing. Very productive day! Thank you all.
OptimiseIMT 2024The course really helped refine my answers for the interview to achieve that 5/5 mark. The webinars were super useful and really got me motivated to work smart. Grateful for OI!!
OptimiseDerm 2024It was a very useful course. The feedback given after the mock was very useful. I will definitely recommend it to my colleagues and friends.
OptimiseCardio 2024All the tutors were very knowledgable about the admissions process and gave contructive critisism to try and help up build on our answers for maximum impact.
OptimiseIMT 2024It was great preparation especially with examiners and simulating the ‘real’ interview with lots of feedback and interaction during the big group session as well – it definitely helped me get a job this year for IMT
OptimiseIMT 2024I don’t think I would have done it without optimise, not only helped me rank high, but the confidence I gained is tremendous. Will be back for the higher specialty course.
OptimiseIMT 2024I think the course prepared me well for the clinical scenarios and expectable questions overall. I would consider it mandatory for interview preparation.
