Course fees:

The fee of £1595 relates to bookings made by candidates from the UK using UK debit or credit cards.


The course fee for candidates based outside of the UK is £1695.  

International candidates booking a PassPACES course must abide by any regulations placed by the UK government on travellers entering into the UK.

If for any reason candidiates are unable to attend their PassPACES course they will not be given a refund of their course fee unless a substitute candidate is found to take their place on this course.


Examination Acceptance Guarantee:

Candidates wishing to obtain a refund because they have not been allocated a place on the forthcoming diet of PACES examinations need to inform PassPACES within one week of the date on which the Royal College of Physicians notifies the candidate of this fact and provide proof they have not been allocated a place. No administrative fee will be charged. Currently this guarantee related to PACES Diet 2026/02.


Examination Date Guarantee:

Candidates wishing to obtain a refund or move to another PassPACES course (subject to availability) because their PACES examination date falls before or during the PassPACES course that they have booked need to inform PassPACES within one week of the first date on which the Royal College of Physicians sends admission documents to candidates for the appropriate diet and provide proof of their examination date. No administrative fee will be charged. Currently this guarantee relates to PACES Diet 2026/02.


Cancellations:

Cancellations received in writing more than 8 weeks before a course commences will attract a refund of the course fee (less an administrative fee of £100).

No refund will be available for cancellations received after this date unless we can find a substitute candidate (and an administrative fee of £100 will be levied).

In exceptional circumstances it may be necessary for PassPACES to cancel a course. In this case we will provide a full refund of the course fee to all candidates. We are not able to refund travel or accommodation costs. We also reserve the right to change the course venue to another location in London. Under these circumstances the course will proceed as normal and no refund will be made.

PassPACES reserves the right to cancel a candidate's course booking if false information is provided by the candidate during the registration process.


Dress Code:

Smart professional dress and smart shoes are mandatory at all PassPACES courses out of courtesy to our patients (casual dress, e.g. jeans, t-shirts and training shoes is not acceptable). 

If you attend in inappropriate attire you will be asked to change and will not be allowed to take part in the teaching until you have done so.

We would advise you to wear smart clothing similar to that which you plan to wear during your forthcoming PACES examination.


No Audio recording, Video recording or Photography is permitted. 

All healthcare staff have a duty of confidentiality, and this also relates to patients encountered at the PassPACES courses.


 

 

 

Feedback from our Courses

EDIT


Thank you from Ipswich!

'As one of eight doctors from Ipswich Hospital to attend the PassPACES Course, I just wanted to pass on my thanks for a fantastic course. The patients were amazing; not only having superb clinical signs, but also pointing us in the right direction should we be struggling!

The clinical lecturers taught enthusiastically, with a good sense of humour; the mock exam and the way the lecturers responded during the mock was extremely relevant and useful for the actual exam. The feedback we were given during the course reflected the style of the exam marking system and was invaluable for improving any "weak" spots.

It was a 100% pass rate for the Ipswich group who all attended the PassPACES Course - all of us "first timers" - thank you so much for helping us to achieve this.'

Dear Dr Bessant and the PassPACES team,

I just want to say thank you so much for a fantastic course.  I passed first time and was amazed and absolutely delighted to score 172/172!  I definitely could not have achieved that mark without attending the course: the teaching was really outstanding and we were exposed to so many patients with such excellent signs.  I expected that the course might feel rather intimidating but the lecturers were enthusiastic, supportive and provided very helpful feedback.  The course gave me the confidence and the structure to approach more complex cases (particularly neurology) and 'work things out' in a logical way.

Thank you for a really enjoyable and inspiring 4 days!  I have already recommended the course to my colleagues and will continue to do so!

"I did the MRCP Ireland exam and I wanted to let you know that I passed with a score of 86/88!
I attended one of the earlier courses in May this year and sat my exam at the end of June. Attending an earlier course consolidated the information I learnt and gave me plenty of time to work on my weaker areas.  It was also the perfect preparation especially when based in a more regional hospital without formal teaching.

The mix of cases, along with the incredible calibre of tutors was amazing. Plus, I had seen all the cases I encountered in my exam during the days at the PassPACES course.
Thank you all so much again!"
