Testimonials

"We were hugely impressed with the UKCAT training provided by MJI for our medical applicants and the scores the students went on to achieve were undoubtedly improved as a result. The trainer provided a highly interactive experience and was clearly very much in touch with the detailed requirements of medical applications"

"We were very pleased with both the UKCAT and BMAT preparation days which MJI ran for us in-house. Their attention to detail and teaching methods were excellent and our pupils came away with greater confidence and knowledge of what was required" Harrow School

Cheltenham Ladies' College

"The feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive.

There are many organisations claiming that they have the kind of expertise that MJI are offering, but our students who attended numerous courses, said that although they found both useful, they preferred the speakers from MJI" Oxford High School

"I have been very pleased with the input of MJI. Our pupils gave positive feedback on both the BMAT and UKCAT training courses and were able to approach their exams with significantly higher levels of confidence�

Winchester College

"Medic Journey initially provided BMAT, UKCAT and Interview Skills training for us in 2012. We were extremely pleased with their friendly, expert and up to date approach, and so decided to use them again this year. The boys valued the sessions, which were interactive and engaging. The team are really quite inspirational, experts in their field and have provided our boys with confidence and enthusiasm to succeed" MERCHANT TAYLOR’S
