Why choose 'The Birmingham Course' for my revision for the MRCPsych exams?
The Birmingham Course is the ORIGINAL evidenced based revision course. Our Question bank has been collated over the last six years and has all of the remembered questions from the college exams. The question bank of 3500 is the largest question bank and is constantly growing. Each question has a detailed answer and reference. All our references reflect the current knowledge base. Our course notes are the comprehensive and updated revision material available for MRCPsych exam revision.
Last year more than 75% of candidates sitting the MRCPsych examinations chose the Birmingham Course to help them in their preparation. This explains the importance of The Birmingham Course in preparation for the MRCPsych exams.

Are the course materials updated after each sitting of the exams?
Yes. At the Birmingham Course, after each exam sitting of the exam we meet and celebrate the questions which we predicted and that came up in our course and then look seriously at the new questions and add those and similar questions to our course question bank.

How can I get involved?
In the past students from our course have won the College’s Laughlin prize ( 2in the last 3 years!) and they have been invited back to teach. You don’t have to win a prize though- if you have the time and would like to contribute to psychiatric education we would appreciate it if you would send any questions from College exams and elsewhere that you think might be useful. From time to time vacancies in our teaching and writing group come up and we will make contact with people who have shown interest.
