I attended a mock at Hive Academy, and the setting was very similar to the actual PLAB 2 exam. The feedback was extremely detailed, with a clear explanation of my performance in each station, which helped me to understand what I needed to improve. You learn a lot from the experience, and I would definitely say their mocks are a must for PLAB 2 preparation.

Excellent teaching. Courses are well curated and very well taught. Both Dr Shakeel and Dr Umar provide extensive and very helpful feedback. Flashcards are really useful. Focused on approach rather than content which was extremely helpful.

I was an IMG From India with no idea about PLAB 2, when I first joined HIVE. Dr Umar and Dr Malik helped me understand the approach to focused patient history-taking, clinical examination and the approach to diagnoses and differentials. O was taught what to and what not to express to the patient, the proper posture and body language, and time management in a consultation. The theory classes and practice sessions and mocks helped me improve my confidence, overcome my weak areas and thereby helped me pass the exam. I would definitely recommend, without any reservation or doubt, the institute, to anyone looking to pass the exam and secure their PLAB career and NHS journey.

The best preparation I could wish for! Very pleasant study atmosphere with personal guidance tailored to my needs and weaknesses. Dr. Umar is an exceptional teacher. Dr. Malik was so nice and helpful with my registration, tutoring and even a great accommodation not far away which was beyond my expectations- clean, quiet and comfortable.
Don’t miss Hive Academy preparation for PLAB 2.

The practical training was equal to the exam, in addition to individual feedback from Dr. Omar and Dr. Shakel... the support and positivity were excellent, and the academy's allocation was convenient.

Had a really good experience. I took their 10 day plab 2 face to face course and it was really helpfull and consise and very tailored to my own needs and requirement. The mocks and practice sessions are also really good and really helped me gain my confidence. Moreover the website and especially the knowledge hub is a very usefull resource, especially the flashcards and the online lectures they really helped me to perform better. For anyone looking for a plab 2 course, I'd really recommend HIVE.

This is the BEST academy. The instructors are fountains of knowledge and have an incredible program built to make sure that you feel secure in addressing any station in PLAB. Truly blessed to have attended.

I have had a very positive experience with Hive Medical Academy so far. From the beginning, the team has been friendly, approachable, and always available to answer my questions. They are quick to respond to messages and have always been willing to clarify any doubts, which has made the entire process much easier and less stressful.

They have provided valuable guidance with my CV, portfolio, and NHS job applications, while also successfully arranging a clinical attachment for me in the UK. Throughout the process, they have kept me informed at every stage, making everything straightforward and well organised.

Another aspect I really appreciated was the accommodation they arranged for my stay in the UK. It was organised at a very affordable cost, which was a huge help while planning my trip. Knowing that both my clinical attachment and accommodation had been taken care of gave me much greater confidence and peace of mind.

Overall, I have been very impressed by the team's professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to supporting doctors throughout the process. I truly appreciate everything they have done for me so far and would highly recommend Hive Medical Academy to anyone planning to pursue a career in the UK NHS.

i recently completed training at Hive Medical academy and had a positive experience. The teaching structure is highly organised and makes exam preparation straight forward. I highly recommend their courses to other medical professionals.
