COURSE SUMMARY

Core Surgical Training is the gateway to your chosen specialty and your lifelong career. It is absolutely PIVOTAL to score highly to secure your first choice programmes – the better your jobs, the higher your chances of securing ST3 training numbers, especially for competitive specialties. It is key to rise above the competition. The interview can be a daunting prospect, especially considering how important it is for National Training Numbers (NTNs) and ultimately your future professional working lives.

The CST Secrets Programme is UK’s premiere intensive, high-yield programme to give you the key tools to excel and rise above the competition in the CST application! Our past delegates have ranked Top 10 in the country and many have scored 100% in the interview (see video testimony above)

Our philosophy is simple:- to maximise your time and provide the highest yield experience-based guidance based on real past interview stations, and teach you: WHAT to say; WHEN to say it; and HOW to say it. Articulation and structuring your answers with frameworks = points in the station!

The High Yield UK CST Secrets programme will go through all components in detail, give you all the ‘secrets’ that helped Mr Khajuria and his team rank top 10 in the UK; we will go through real past interview questions to ensure you are ready on interview day.

Testimony from one of our past mentees, who ranked Top 10 in the UK:

“Embarking on the Premier Mentorship Package with Mr Khajuria was a game changer – I am grateful to him and the CST team for helping me rank 7th in the UK! The CST Secrets Video Programme and delegate book laid a solid foundation, but the real magic happened in the 5 one-to-one coaching sessions. Mr. Khajuria’s meticulous guidance took me step by step through the application cycle, elevating my interview performance to unprecedented levels. The mock interviews focussed on the highest yield, past stations, with frameworks and structure for most efficient and impactful delivery of the information. The feedback was unparalleled compared to any other course or feedback I received from others. Mr. Khajuria’s academic and clinical expertise shone through, with incorporation of evidence-based tools for management etc in my answers, that really helped me stand out on interview day. The investment was well worth it, significantly boosting my ability and confidence. If you’re serious about acing your Core Surgical Training interviews, this mentorship programme is a no brainer. 

The coaching programme is intense and comprehensive, and a reasonable investment of time and money for both you and our team. Please note, we have 5 spots only, and these will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

For the mentorship packages, we offer a FULL money-back guarantee, If after the first session, you are unhappy and do not wish to go ahead.
