I help maxillofacial trainees pass their FRCS -

Guaranteed

The FRCS Pass is a course I wish I had access to when I was sitting my own exam.

I passed Section 2 on second attempt and I wish I had had a mentor or coach to ensure I avoided the easy mistakes, knew what the exam actually involved and had the opportunity to practice with and learn from someone who was willing me to succeed and had covered the same road I was on, and was only a few steps ahead.

I wrote all the content for this course after my own exam initially for a book to be published by OUP. The content is based on and draws on mainstream UK maxillofacial resources and covers the entirety of the syllabus.

Passing the FRCS doesn’t just mark a credential—it determines the trajectory of your surgical career. It is the Everest summit of exams. The path is littered with wasted weeks, possible resit delays, and plenty of ‘unknown unknowns’. This course was built deliberately to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you need to be: prepared, clear and above all confident.

What you’ll get is not some cookie cutter content but carefully crafted questions and model answers together with a coaching programme to create a high-leverage, optimised system: frameworks that steepen and shorten your learning curve, coaching that catches you before mistakes become habits, and practice exams so that nothing in the real thing on the day feels foreign or new.

When you enrol, you claim a seat at the table—live coaching with an experienced trainer who is on your side, tailored constructive feedback to hone your skills, a community of peers pushing alongside you, and peace of mind via a guarantee that means I will continue to work with you until you pass.

Testimonials

James FRCS (MaxFac)

Mo FRCS (MaxFac)

‘When you start higher surgical training in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the FRCS seems a long way away in the distant future.

Having chosen a career that entails dual qualification, and as such a significant time in training, you will inevitably be exposed to the exam vicariously through the success and failures of your colleagues without truly appreciating what the FRCS entails.

As a result starting your FRCS revision can be like standing at the foothills of Everest.

Working with Mr Ketabchi provided the insight & perspective required to successfully navigate the potential minefield associated with preparing for the FRCS.

His guidance allowed time to be spent focussing on the key aspects of the syllabus that are invariably assessed during the course of the exam.

Providing you with the time & space to practice, he is able to provide tailored feedback to help optimise your performance and as such give you the best chance of success!’
