COURSE OVERVIEW
The ORE Part 2 Intensive Masterclass is designed specifically for candidates preparing for the ORE Part 2 examination, particularly those who already have an examination date booked or are approaching their exam.
The programme combines structured mock examinations, hands-on clinical practice and targeted individual feedback to help candidates build confidence, improve clinical technique and become fully familiar with examination standards and expectations.
The course is delivered in a structured, exam-focused environment, with candidates receiving continuous guidance, demonstrations and feedback throughout both days.
