Mr Mani, Mr Mina and Ms Nazia what a fantastic faculty. I am grateful for all of them and all the hard work they put in and their feedback and advice. The amount of knowledge and experience is astonishing. Their dedication and commitment is remarkable. Their sincerity and care sets them apart. Mr Mani is very knowledgeable and humble—it takes a great man to say, ‘I don’t know, I will check and get back to you.’ It was a pleasure getting to know them and be mentored by them. Thank you.

Samar Omran
Participant of 8th FRCS Section 2 Course
I joined the 8th running of the PrepMedico FRCS course and was very impressed at the breadth and depth of the content – lectures, online curated content, and frequent discussions over Telegram. The format suited my style of learning with content spread regularly over a 3-month period. The Telegram discussions were exceptional and allowed for discussion of topics on a daily basis with the expert faculty and to draw on the collective experience of my colleagues.
Chris Jones
Participant of 8th FRCS Section 2 Course
Excellent Course, touched on everything we need for the exam. Mr. Mani and the faculty took me from zero to hero. The most I liked about this course apart from being extensive is the honest feedbacks we received without sugar coating. Again, again and again this the best FRCS preparation course. Thank you Mr. Mani.
Yousif Salem
Participant of 8th FRCS Section 2 Course
This is a brilliant course which caters to the exact knowledge and technical needs of understanding of such a complex exam. Mani is a wonderful person and a brilliant mentor. The whole team of faculty and the back end are equally wonderful. I would recommend everyone appearing for FRCS exam to take this course as it surely helps in comprehensive and strategic preparation.

Mostafa Mahran
Participant of 8th FRCS Section 2 Course
I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and have found it a useful and structured approach to exam preparation. Although the lectures were long and at quite a deep level I feel more confident having now explored areas in which I previously had little experience. The vivas and mock were exceptionally well run and I hope a good reflection of the real thing! Many thanks.
