Every review, since September 2019
We ask everyone. We publish everything.
At the end of every course we ask for feedback. Not everyone leaves it — most doctors finish, download the certificate and get back to a busy rota. But many do, and this page is all of it: the praise, the qualified, and the people who told us what was wrong. We have not filtered out the bad ones.
What people did not like
This is the part most course pages leave out. We put it first, because it is the only section that tells you anything a sales page would not. If you are weighing us up against the alternatives, our comparison of teach the teacher courses is the honest version of that too.
“Pacing can be improved in group presentation sessions.”
“The platform used to host the teaching, involving moving the mini characters around, seemed really pointless and childish.”
“This course did take me longer than expected — the sheer volume of content meant I read over certain slides numerous times. However I completed it alongside a full-time medical job, so it is doable.”
“Amazing overall Experience. Thank you, Erudical.”
“The course is very good and informative”
“I thought the course was useful.”
“Enjoyed the learning theories discussed in a relevant and accessible fashion.”
“The gather town is fun to interact with”

“interactive teaching and NASA session”
“The interaction has been good, the breakout rooms and gamification was fun”
“Our teacher today has been lovely and very informative. Please can we ensure that the certificate indicates the number of CPD points, that the course is live as well (for IMT applications). For the other online course can we please have a certificate that indicates the number of hours it took (to claim for other apps like radiology)”

“I liked the collaboration and hands on bit of the course. Also liked the theory that was touched upon before any of the activities or discussions. I think I would have liked to see a bit more of the theory because I did not have time to look through the materials in advance, so I maybe was hoping to get a bit more of the theory today. I still managed to take some very good notes and can do more reading on my own.”
