Against what your students are doing now
Most applicants already prepare somehow. The question is what each option actually costs your programme, and where it quietly fails.

What a partnership looks like
Built around your programme, not ours
Seats for a cohort
Buy a block for your applicants, students, or residents. They sign in with their own account and their practice stays private to them; you see participation and aggregate performance, never an individual's transcript.
Stations written for you
If your programme interviews on its own scenarios or marks against its own rubric, we can build stations and scoring to match, rather than making your students rehearse someone else's format.
Prep-course partners
Running a course already? Use the platform as the practice layer between your sessions, so contact hours go to teaching rather than to sitting through repetitions.
Start with a pilot
A single cohort, one interview cycle, and a look at whether it moved anything. We would rather earn the second year than sell you three up front.
Ready to scope a pilot?
How many students, which formats, and when your interviews run. We will come back with what a pilot would look like and what it would cost.
