The FRCOphth Part 2 Oral is notoriously challenging and structured differently from written exams. Generic revision often doesn’t translate into success in the OSCE. High-quality, one-to-one practice is essential to master OSCE and VIVA technique. Our coaching is the only well-established resource offering dedicated 1:1 sessions, providing exam-ready frameworks, realistic examiner-style questioning and live, targeted feedback. Eye Academy aims to arm candidates with the skills and confidence required to maximise their chances of passing this exit exam.
