Unless explicitly stated, all courses are strictly application-only. Initial registration does not guarantee a place in a course.
This policy is necessary due to the varying grade requirements for each course.
By implementing application-only tickets, we can ensure that participants meet the necessary grade for access to the course. Additionally, we prioritise applicants who are currently in or intend to apply for cardiothoracic-related training (surgery, followed by cardiology, respiratory, critical care and anaesthesia).
Beyond these initial prerequisites, all applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
If selected, further information for payment will be sent.
Course places are only confirmed once payment has been received, and the applicant has received a confirmation email.
Please note that, due to recent changes outside of our control, all courses will now include an additional, small, processing fee.
This will be reflected in the final cost.
