What Paediatric doctors say about working with us
"I like to refer to my coaching experience as an 'Umar sandwich'. My interview practice started off by attending the Paediatric Grid Interview Preparation Course and my final preparation was a 1:1 coaching session. With his help I achieved a high score in my subspecialty interview, ranked high and was offered my first choice job."

''Umar was very insightful and gave bespoke and personalised prescriptive coaching that was not generic like the other courses available out there. I felt like he understood who I was as a person and my journey and learned my needs and helped me not only learn how to present myself better but to overcome mental barriers.''
ST3 Paediatrics applicant
"I found this course on Google and honestly thought the comments sounded too good to be true. After attending his GRID interview preparation course I can truly say the comments were not exaggerating. I feel a lot more confident and feel like I have been given a strong foundation to build on."
