Questions before you enrol
Still deciding? Message us and we will plan your route with you.
Which exam should I start with?
Start with the country where you want to practise. For Australia: AMC Part 1 and Part 2, with an English test before registration. For the United States: USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK, plus OET Medicine for ECFMG certification. For the Gulf: the licensing exam of your authority. For Germany: German to B2, then the FSP and the Kenntnisprüfung. Message us and we will put your steps in the right order.
Do I need OET or IELTS before AMC Part 1?
No. You can sit the AMC exams without an English test. English proficiency is needed later, when you apply for registration with the Medical Board of Australia.
What is the green signal?
Your tutor follows your mock exam results and your work in class, and tells you when you are ready to book your exam. That is the green signal. It is your tutor's honest judgement, not a guarantee of a pass.
What is included in the fee?
Live online classes, recordings for six months, PDF notes from your tutor, MCQ solving sessions, and free mock exams in the format of your exam.
Do you offer one-to-one classes?
Yes. One-to-one classes with a tutor are available for every course. For AMC and the membership exams the one-to-one fee is US$1,000. For USMLE it is US$4,000 for 3 months, or US$18 per hour. For other courses, message us for the fee.
When does the next batch start?
A new batch of every course starts each month, so you never wait long. The course calendar shows the next months, and we confirm your exact start date and class times when you enrol.
How do I pay?
Online by debit or credit card through Stripe's secure checkout, from any country. Each course has its own payment button, or we send you a payment link.
My card was declined. What can I do?
Some banks block international online payments until you switch them on, usually in your banking app or by calling the bank. Turn them on and try again, or message us for another way to pay.
Do you prepare dentists as well as doctors?
Yes. We prepare overseas-qualified dentists for both routes to UK registration, the GDC's Overseas Registration Exam (ORE) and the Licence in Dental Surgery (LDS) from RCS England, and for OET.
Which OET score do I need?
It depends on your regulator. ECFMG asks for 350 in Listening, Reading and Speaking and 300 in Writing on OET Medicine. The GMC asks for grade B in each sub-test. For tests taken from 23 April 2026, the Medical Board of Australia asks for 350 in Listening and Writing and 360 in Reading and Speaking.
Are classes live or recorded?
Both. Every class is taught live online, and the recording stays available to you for six months, so you can catch up after a shift or revise before the exam.
What changed for doctors in Germany?
Since 1 November 2026, the Kenntnisprüfung is the standard route to Approbation for doctors with non-EU degrees, and a document-based equivalence review happens only if you ask for it. Our KP course is built for the new route.
