QP Viva Preparation Day

Intensive One-on-One VIVA Preparation Day for Aspiring Qualified Persons

Our QP VIVA Preparation Day is an invaluable one-to-one session with our most experienced QP trainers. It is much more than just a ‘Mock VIVA- it is a full day focused on preparing you for your VIVA assessment.  
 
 

We have been helping Trainee QPs achieve their ambitions for more than 20 years. During this time, we've honed our training and spoken to thousands of delegates, using their insights, motivations and concerns to deliver impactful courses that ready them for the next step in their careers.  

 

One of the concerns most frequently highlighted to us, is the impact of nerves when it comes to trainees taking their VIVA assessment. Often, it was not that delegates lacked the knowledge to pass, it was the pressure or the inability to structure their responses correctly during the assessment 

This is where this preparation day comes in! 

 

Note: It is important to understand that this is not a formal 'Mock VIVA' session. Prior to the preparation day, we will request a copy of your VIVA application form to review it and make any recommendations. The day will focus on fully preparing you for every aspect of your VIVA Assessment.

Tutor was very attentive to my needs

Rebecca really pushed me to not just answer things by the book but to show my understanding of each topic in the Study Guide. She also helped me structure my answers better. Rebecca was very attentive to my needs and provided extra insight on things I struggle to respond, she also provided tips on how I could control my nerves.
