MRCOG Part 3 Clinical Skills Intensive
Part 3 is examined differently, so we teach it differently. Fourteen filmed clinical stations, structured communication frameworks, examiner commentary and downloadable mark schemes — bought once, kept for twelve months, independent of any subscription.
This course is not part of any subscription plan
It is sold as a standalone, one-time purchase of £249. Subscribing to the 1, 3, 6 or 12-month plan does not unlock it — and it is not required for a subscription either. Existing subscribers, and candidates with no subscription at all, purchase this course separately at the same price.
Part 3 tests a different skill to a written paper
The Part 3 exam asks you to demonstrate clinical and communication skills live, under observation, against a mark scheme. No amount of question-bank practice rehearses that format on its own. This course was built specifically to close that gap: every station is filmed as a full walkthrough, marked exactly as an examiner would mark it, with commentary explaining why marks are gained or lost at each step.
It sits outside the subscription model deliberately, so that candidates who only need Part 3 preparation are not required to buy question-bank access they will not use, and existing subscribers can add it on top of their plan when they reach that stage of training.

What candidates say about this course
I bought this separately on top of my subscription. The station walkthroughs and mark schemes gave me a structure I could actually rehearse with a colleague.
The shoulder dystocia and PPH stations were almost identical in structure to what came up on the day. Filming full attempts rather than just describing them made all the difference.
Worth every penny on its own. I didn't need the question bank subscription at that stage, and this course covered exactly the skill I was missing.

Frequently asked questions
I already subscribe — do I get this free?
No. An active subscription at any duration does not include the Part 3 Clinical Skills Intensive. It is a standalone product sold as a one-time purchase of £249, and existing subscribers buy it separately at the same price as anyone else.
How long do I have access after purchase?
Twelve months from your date of purchase. Access does not depend on having an active subscription and is not affected if a separate subscription lapses or renews.
Can I buy this without a subscription?
Yes. This course can be purchased entirely on its own — no subscription is required before or after buying it.
Is this course only useful for Part 3 candidates?
The station format and mark schemes are specific to Part 3, but senior Part 2 candidates preparing for their next stage sometimes purchase it early to become familiar with the assessment format.
Do you offer refunds?
Standalone course purchases, including this one, are refundable within 14 days of purchase provided no more than two station modules have been opened. Full terms are set out in the refund policy.
