The PLAB Part 2 is designed to test your clinical skills in practical terms, efficiency in sensitive, empathetic communication, professionalism and ethics. The General Medical Council (GMC) uses the Objectively Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) approach in the Test.

At the moment, the PLAB Part 2 Test only holds at the GMC Test Centre in Manchester. Candidates are expected to arrive at the Test Centre very early (1-2 hours before the scheduled time – check your booking confirmation). On the day, candidates are expected to come with a recognised Document for Identification (Passport, UK Driver’s Licence, UK Refugee Biometric Residence Permit) and your booking confirmation print-out. Doctors will be provided with any other materials needed to complete the tasks in the cubicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Courses are taught physically or via any of our Online platforms. Seasoned facilitators use clinical scenarios from the PLAB Blueprint of the GMC to teach how to prepare for the PLAB 2 test in various clinical areas. Demonstrations are done with volunteer simulators for clinical examination scenarios and manikins are used, including simman, in appropriate scenarios.

The course/Mocks will be taken by Dr Peter and other brilliant, experienced facilitators/examiners.

There are accommodation options within walking distance from the course venue. Within the week to course commencement, our office staff can always help course participants make these arrangements.

There is no dress code for the courses, but participants are expected to dress decently and professionally. For the Mocks, candidates are expected to dress as the GMC expects to dress when they appear for the PLAB 2 test

You can advertise the course opportunity in PLAB 2 forums on WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, etc. to find other Doctors who would like to attend our courses as well.

We may record online sessions for Quality Control purposes, but they are not sent to participants even if they miss the class. We expect that PLAB 2 candidates who sign up for the course will make out time to attend the sessions while they are ongoing. Only online Mock recordings can be shared with the candidates assessed to enable them to feel their performance, internal feedback comments and listen to the immediate mock feedback/corrections and improve their performance.

We do not accept course registration cancellations. However, we can allow a candidate to change course diets/edition once after registration. Any subsequent adjustment may attract an administrative charge for such changes.

We allow group applications even if attending different courses. For example, 2 Doctors attending the January Lagos Course, 1 attending the Online course, 1 attending the Weekend course and 1 attending the March course can all come together to apply as a Group of 5.
