Scholar Teaching Programme

Make your course more affordable

Run teaching sessions for an FRCR or FFR RCSI exam you’ve already sat to cover up to half of your Revise Radiology course fee. How much you cover depends on how many sessions you teach.

What the programme is

The Scholar Teaching Programme has run since 2023. It lets you pay for part of your Mastery or All-Inclusive course by teaching other candidates, and is open to candidates who have already sat any FRCR or FFR RCSI exam.

You lead study groups or Daily Viva sessions, earning credit towards your course fee for each session.

How it works

You only teach an exam you’ve sat yourself, whether you passed or not. That means you can draw on your own experience of the exam, not just what you’ve read in a textbook.

Apply on this page
Tell us which course you want to take and where you are with the exam, and upload your result letter. If you are sitting the exam for the first time, you teach the stage you have just passed, so upload a pass letter for that stage instead. Nothing in the application commits you to anything.
Agree your teaching commitment
We have a short call to agree how many sessions you’ll run and a deadline. Then you sign a Scholar agreement and an NDA.
Get access to your course
Once you’ve signed, you’ll get access to your Mastery course. If the course has already started, you can get going straight away. Otherwise, your access will begin when the course starts.
Each session you run earns credit towards your course fee.
Teach alongside your revision
At least 80% of your sessions must take place before your exam. You can complete all of them beforehand if you prefer, or run the remaining sessions afterwards.
You’ll have until six months after your exam to complete all your sessions.
Once you’ve completed the programme, you’ll earn the Scholar Faculty title and receive a certificate.

How your teaching covers the course fee

Your teaching covers up to 50% of your course fee. The more sessions you teach, the more you can cover.

Already studied with Revise and didn’t pass? You may be eligible for Resitter Support, which covers 50% of your next Mastery or All-Inclusive course fee. Combined with your teaching credits, this means you could complete your course for free.

Use the selector below to explore your options and see how many sessions you could run and how much you’d pay.

Work out what you’d teach and pay

Is it worth it?

It works well for some candidates and not for others. These are the main points on each side.

What it gives you

It makes the course more affordable. Teaching covers up to half of the fee, and a resitter who qualifies for Resitter Support can bring the cost to nothing.
Teaching experience for your portfolio.
Recalling material and explaining it to others is a form of active recall that supports your exam preparation.
The Scholar Faculty title and certificate for your portfolio.

When it doesn’t suit people

Each session takes about 2.5 to 3.5 hours including prep time, and most scholars run one a week. You may not have this time available.
Sessions are scheduled, so they are harder to move around than revision is.
If your exam is close, fewer sessions fit before it, so teaching covers less of the fee.

If the second list sounds more like you, agree a smaller number of sessions. A number you can finish is better for you, for the candidates you teach, and for us.

Ready to apply?

We’ll ask which course you want to take, whether you’ve sat the exam before, and when you’re sitting it. You’ll also upload a copy of your result letter or, if it’s your first time, a pass letter for the stage below.

Frequently asked questions

Apply and put your exam date on the form. At least 80% of your sessions happen before the exam, so a nearer date means fewer sessions fit and teaching covers less of the fee. The programme lead talks through what is possible on the call, and we agree a small number you can finish.

Tell your programme lead early. If dates or rotas change, we can adjust the schedule. If the sessions you agreed aren’t finished by six months after your exam, we may ask you to pay for the part that is left. That is why we agree the number with you rather than setting it for you.

Yes, on every route. You get the title and a certificate, and it is real teaching experience to put in your portfolio.

Yes. Your teaching reduces the fee first, and Global Pricing is then applied to what is left. The total reduction from teaching and Global Pricing together cannot go above 50% of the original course cost. The 50% Resitter Support discount (for members who failed after studying with us) is separate from this, so with this it is possible to pay less than 50%.

FRANZCR doesn’t have a Scholar route yet.

Yes. The Scholar Teaching Programme is separate from the guarantee. However, running study groups doesn’t count towards the scheduled Mastery teaching that the guarantee asks you to attend.

Anything else? Get in touch and we’ll talk it through.

Can’t take on the teaching?

If teaching isn’t realistic alongside your other commitments, Global Pricing is the other way to lower the price. It makes our courses more affordable wherever you train, by offering a larger discount in countries with lower average incomes.
