What candidates say

From recent course feedback: 8.93/10 overall rating (Spring 2026). Over half of candidates gave a perfect 10/10 for overall satisfaction (Winter 2026). 90% reported meaningful growth in confidence over the four days (Winter 2026).

"Hot seat is different than cold seat. We all feel confident when we are alone — but this course gives you the real feel of the exam."

"By the end of the course, after 8 practice sessions, sitting in the hot seat became like second nature. I could have a go at any case presented to me."

"It is really helpful and simulates the real exam situation."

What happens on this course

Over four days, you present cases to experienced examiners — the same format, the same pressure, the same feedback you'll face in the real exam. When you're not on the hotseat, you're watching other candidates present and hearing exactly what the examiner thinks.By the end, you know what a passing answer sounds like. You know where yours falls short. And you've done it enough times that the exam chair is no longer unknown.

• - 12 live viva sessions across 4 days
• - 4 viva-style tutorials — open hotseat format, any candidate can present

Eight hotseats across four days — more direct examiner time than most candidates get in months of preparation.What a hotseat actually is:You present a case to an experienced examiner who knows exactly what a passing answer looks like.

• - Observe 12+ hours of additional vivas when not on the hotseat
