MOCK INTERVIEW COURSE

COURSE DATES FOR 2024 entry: 24 February and 2 March 2024

​

The TTO ST1 Ophthalmology Mock Interview Course is composed of 2 parts:

1. Online Interview Crash Course

2. One-on-one virtual Mock Interview

 

Online Interview Crash Course

This ST1 Ophthalmology Interview Crash Course is probably one of the most comprehensive ophthalmology interview preparation courses in the UK, with nearly 4 hours' worth of online course material, designed to guide candidates step-by-step through each and the Evidence Folder and the 'Online Interview', instilling, or more accurately "spoon-feeding", all the essential and bonus knowledge you need to ace the interview and get your dream job. 

​

The Interview Crash Course will now be delivered online LIVE (dates: 24 Feb and 2 March 2024).

​​

The Communication Station (now called 'Online Assessment') lecture series is divided into four parts:

1. We will first be going through past years' ACTUAL mark schemes and breaking them down for you so you know what skills are being tested and what the examiners are looking for. We will then go through important points regarding communication skills which is so often a part where candidates neglect practicing, as they think they're confident but might be doing it the wrong way. 

2. We will then go through Telemedicine specifically and scenarios in relation to Telemedicine so you know what to expect and how to prepare properly for this online interview. It's not just about setting up your account for Microsoft Teams and dressing like you're going for a face-to-face interview. There's so much more to it that we will teach you in the course.

3. We will go through all the important communication station scenarios and provide you with a step-by-step guide to grab as many points as you can in the interview. Candidates often think they are only going in to speak with the actor and see how it goes but actually, there is a framework you need to be following and we will be teaching you that framework.

4. Lastly, we will be going through all the essential and bonus Clinical Knowledge that is relevant to this year's Online Assessment. We will not only be teaching you the conditions and what you need to know (more depth and breadth this year I would think) but also suggest potential communication scenarios that may come up for each condition so you are fully prepared when you 'walk-in' or 'login' to the actual interview.

 

One-on-one virtual Mock Interview

The ST1 Mock Interview was designed to mimic the ACTUAL interview for its setting, intensity, and level of difficulty and it is one of the MOST REALISTIC Mock Interview Courses you can find in the country. 

​

Building on the success of our flagship face-to-face Mock Interview Course prior to the pandemic, our Mock Interview is now going to be held via online video conferencing using Microsoft Teams, the official system used by the RCOphth National Recruitment 2024 entry.

 

This will be an entirely one-on-one virtual session with Dr Jonathan Ng, who has> 5 years of experience in Ophthalmology Interview training. We are proud to have produced a 77% success rate in securing a run-through ST1 training post, three top 10 candidates including the nation's top (i.e. rank 1) candidate in just the first year of the creation of this course.

 

After the Mock Interview, you will receive written feedback in the form of mark schemes (via email) which are designed solely for this course and not seen in any other courses or websites.
