This is a 6-week comprehensive mentorship program, offering in-depth guidance and tailored support for candidates preparing for the May 2025 FRCS Section 2 Vascular Exam. Designed to provide all you need for success with ease, this course goes beyond conventional preparation methods to deliver unparalleled value and insight.

Delivered by a team of mentors who have consistently achieved outstanding results over the past four years—including consecutive gold medal winners—this course is modeled after the ASPIRE 7 program (Preparation for FRCS VASC) offered by the Vascular Society of the UK. However, it is enhanced to include extended benefits and additional features, ensuring an even more effective preparation experience.

The course encompasses all key concepts, oral examination techniques, advanced knowledge areas, and essential strategies for effective time management. It is meticulously structured to deepen participants’ understanding and equip them to tackle the exam with confidence and precision.

Join us for a transformative and enriching journey towards achieving success in your Section 2 FRCS Vascular Surgery exams.
