The Premium Day Course
(Includes access to the CASC In Hand lecture series)
**Following the January 2023 CASC, over 90% of our candidates confirmed that they have passed the CASC, which exceeds both the UK trainee and International CASC pass rates!**
The CASC exam is ultimately a test of your ability to remain a safe and competent psychiatrist through 16x different scenarios.
In our online day course, you’ll have the opportunity to experience an intense CASC day where your knowledge and clinical skills will certainly be stretched!
This is an intense affair- we take no more than 6 candidates for the day, and have no more than 3 candidates in any group.
You’ll have the opportunity to practice/observe full-length CASC stations, as well as participate in further specially designed mini-stations that will test both the basics as well as the more discrete parts of the CASC curriculum.
If you're looking for a personalised experience to test your CASC ability, your ability to adapt/adjust to varying scenarios, and to identify & refine your weakness areas during the course itself, to gear you towards passing your CASC exam - then this is certainly the course for you!
Practice/Observe full-length CASC stations
We’ve specifically selected CASC stations to test both your core skills and the specialist content, as specified in the RCPsych CASC blueprint.
We’ve also thrown in mini-stations. These are hand-picked ‘hot areas’ from CASC stations, which tend to be the parts of a station that candidates find the most challenging, and therefore also the place where you’ll be most able to demonstrate your excellence if you can tackle them!
Personalised feedback on your CASC technique.
We’ll identify and feedback on areas of focus within your CASC technique right from the get go, and you’ll have the day to really hone in on the skills that are most important to develop for you.
Tailored for the updated CASC blueprint and syllabus
We have been through the changes to the CASC with a fine-tooth comb and have modified our day course to reflect this.
Access to the CASC In Hand lecture series
You will have full access to our 6-part lecture series in the run-up to your CASC exams. See below for more information!
More content than any mock exam could ever cover, with full access to our lecture series. For just £450.
Check out our Testimonials page for a sample of the feedback we received from our recent day courses.
CASC In Hand Lecture series
Exclusive access to recordings from our 6-part webinar series
Ahead of a previous CASC examination series, we ran a highly popular webinar series. For candidates sitting the September 2024 examinations, we are providing exclusive access to the recordings of our webinar series!
What’s it all about?
From our own experience, we found that much of the resources available for the CASC were based around ‘lists of questions’ that you could ask for individual CASC stations. Our lecture series goes one step further, and we show you how to apply all of this clinical knowledge into a format that will help you to pass the CASC, and we provide in-depth analysis about what is actually being assessed. These skills, ultimately, are what distinguishes your CASC preparation from your previous revision for the written papers.
The Itinerary
Lecture 1: An Introduction to the CASC - LIVE webinar
Lecture 2: Common Pitfalls & Mental State Examinations
Lecture 3: Psychological therapies
Lecture 4: Pharmacology
Lecture 5: Forensics & Intellectual Disability
Lecture 6: Liaison & Capacity Assessments
What’s included?
Coverage of challenging CASC areas
We cover some of the most challenging areas of the CASC curriculum, and iron out some of the typical issues that candidates can run into when applying their CASC technique to these areas.
Answers to your commonly asked questions
How do I keep to timing? Do I need to do a risk assessment in every station? How much of a history should I be taking in a management station? You’ll hear answers to some of these most commonly asked questions, and much more more.
Opportunity to observe CASC stations and hear feedback
You’ll have the opportunity to watch CASC stations during every lecture. And the chance to listen to the analysis and discussion after every station, with feedback from other candidates sitting the CASC!
Watch our lectures on-the-go
We appreciate how difficult it can be to pack your CASC preparation into an already busy work schedule. You’ll be able to watch our lectures on-the-go on your mobile phone using our host platform.
All for just £100.
