AKT Preparation With Expert Help

A learning package specifically designed to support candidates of all abilities with the Royal College of General Practitioners AKT examination.

Welcome to AKT Preparation

AKT Preparation is designed to help GP Registrars prepare for RCGP AKT Examination.

Our aim is to provide a Blended Learning Platform, building on our 30 year experience of providing MRCGP examination preparation courses.

Blended Learning combines online written and video materials, self-study workbooks and interactive webinars, together with small group or one to one support through video conferencing, webchat and email as needed.

We will help you to learn strategies to maximise your performance in the exam including identifying the key learning resources for Clinical Medicine and Organisational topics and how to use these most efficiently. We do not provide our own reworked materials for clinical medicine as we consider it is best to learn direct from definitive sources for these areas.

AKT Preparation will particularly focus on Evidence Interpretation providing you with a range of materials, video, instructional workbooks, interactive webinars, combined with small group and individual support as needed. We have included evidence interpretation materials.

TESTIMONIALS

“Today, I found out that I have passed my AKT with 77.5% which was basically a 12% increase in my score from last time. (I had failed the AKT twice before). I actually scored 80% in stats which is quite something as my score last time was 50% !!

I just want to really pass on my thanks to all of you – this course was unbelievably helpful and I believe mostly responsible for my high scores. Your statistics teaching was 1st rate and you had such a fabulous way of explaining things and also with provision of the workbooks which for me, was the most useful learning tool. I cannot thank you enough for your excellent teaching, help and guidance. I will certainly be recommending your course and website to my PD’s and other GP trainees”.

“The programme you’ve set up really was helpful. Loved the way you broke it all down in to simple easy to understand digestible chunks. All the EBM made so much more sense than when I tried to learn it the first time round.”

AKT User, August 2020

“I passed my AKT this time around and I’m sure Neal would be pleased to know that I got 90% in the EBM section. But I think even more importantly, when I came to cover the topics you were teaching just before the exam, I found for the first time, that it was easy to recall and all the practice questions I did, I answered correctly. I found that completing the workbooks just after the video series really helpful too. In the past, I’ve pretty much had to teach myself it all over again. So thank you so much for all your help.”
