WHAT OUR STUDENTS THINK

Shina

FY2
"This was a great, accessible and informative course. It had all the elements of a teaching course but for a lesser price, and the people who run this course are very supportive."

M. Bizrah

Post CCT Fellow
"I found this course incredibly useful, and I am really glad I have done it now. I will implement a lot of what I learnt into the course I run, which is the largest ophthalmology revision course in Western Hemisphere."

Genevieve

Paediatric SpR
"The course exceeded my expectations & has really made me re-evaluate how to plan and conduct teaching sessions in future. I've learned a huge amount!"

Aladdin

Senior Registrar
"I certify that this course is one of the best I have ever taken. The knowledge and experience I gained from it are invaluable. I still remember a lot of its material contrary to most other courses. The flow of education is amazing!"

Tom

Internal Medicine Trainee
"You guys have done an excellent job. A good initiative which will help a lot of junior doctors and trainees further polish their teaching skills."

Bogdan

FY3
"I liked the course and that you can space the material however you are comfortable. I really liked that we were given examples of teaching (e.g. venepuncture) at the start and end of some modules and how the learning material can be used/incorporated in them."

John

FY3
"Great teaching on giving feedback, which directly linked to the group feedback we gave at the end. Interesting learning about the difference between mentoring, also. There were lots of opportunities for questions and interaction."

Brianna

FY3
"Course is well thought out. Usage of gathertown platform was very interesting and kept it fun. Presentations, lectures, the mentor and breakout sessions were all very helpful. Good utilisation of time."

Commonly Asked Questions

An online teach-the-teacher course built for doctors and other healthcare professionals. It comes in two formats, and enrolling gives you both: a self-paced online course of 20 modules and over 12 hours of content, and a full-day live online course running 9:00 to 17:00. Between them they cover everything a traditional classroom teach-the-teacher course covers — adult learning theory, objective setting, giving feedback, and planning and delivering bedside teaching — without the cost or the travel.

Doctors and healthcare professionals at any stage, anywhere in the world. Most people take it because they need teaching evidence for a specialty application or their portfolio, but it is just as useful if you already teach and want to be better at it.

The course is £199, which includes access to the full-day teach-the-teacher live course and all the supplemental online content, as well as full support from our team for the duration of the course and a certificate of completion. This is the cheapest and best value teach-the-teacher / train-the-trainer course available – most courses are in excess of £390.

The live course is a single day, 9:00 to 17:00. The self-paced course is over 12 hours of content across 20 modules, done in your own time — the actual time taken will depend on how quickly you assimilate the information. To complete the self-paced course you pass in-module and end-of-module quizzes and a final test, and submit three assignments that ask you to use your new teaching skills in the workplace, evidenced with feedback or a report.

No. Both cover the same content, and which format you complete is often determined by the specialty you are applying for or what you need for your portfolio. There are separate certificates for each.

You choose your live course date from the dropdown when you enrol at checkout. Upcoming dates and their availability are listed on the course page. If you need to move to a different date afterwards, message us and we will sort it.

Entirely online. It runs 9:00 to 17:00 with expert-led tutorials, interactive segments and a group task, so you can attend from anywhere with no travel or accommodation to pay for.

Access is instant — you can start as soon as you enrol. The online materials are yours for 6 weeks from the time of purchase. If you need longer to finish off certain modules, a further 6 weeks can be bought as an extension. The modules work on desktop, tablet and mobile, and can be downloaded for offline study.

Yes. Erudical is accredited by The CPD Certification Service, provider 13684, and has been CPD accredited since November 2020. Everyone who completes the course receives a formal certificate of completion to support a job application or portfolio.

The course carries up to 12 CPD points (1 point = 1 hour; the self-paced course is over 12 hours). Each Royal College logs points differently — the Royal College of Physicians, for example, awards 1 point per hour, so you can claim up to 12. Check your college’s scheme, and you will receive a formal certificate of completion for your portfolio either way.

It depends on the specialty, and scoring criteria change every recruitment round, so always check the current self-assessment framework for the specialty you are applying to. As things stand:

  • Internal Medicine Training (IMT) — 1 point. IMT requires a minimum of 6 hours of live, synchronous training, so the live day is the route to this one. Three points require a university-accredited PGCert.
  • Physician Higher Specialty Training (ST3) — 1 point.
  • Clinical Radiology ST1 — up to 2 points. Two points for training of at least two days, so the live day plus the self-paced course; either one alone scores 1.
  • Histopathology ST1 — up to 2 points, on the same basis.
  • Ophthalmology ST1 — 0.5 points for any recognised Teach the Teacher course.
  • Core Surgical Training CT1 — counts under Category D of the portfolio assessment.
  • Emergency Medicine, Paediatrics, Anaesthetics and ICM — not always directly points-scoring, so treat the course as portfolio and ARCP evidence and check your current person specification.

Our teaching points by specialty guide keeps this up to date, and the course is backed by our points guarantee: if your teaching point is not accepted, you get a full refund.

If you claim points in your application, you must provide evidence of deserving those points at the interview. You will be issued a certificate once you’ve completed the course, either live or asynchronous online, detailing your name, the course type and the enrolment date. You can see an example of the certificate here. The examiners on the day, of course, always have the final say.
