An RCGP-accredited postgraduate award in general practice
Passing an accredited assessment makes you eligible to apply for RCGP International Membership and use the post-nominals MRCGP[INT] for as long as you remain a member.
Not a licence to practise as a GP in the UK
Accredited assessments are set and quality-assured to RCGP standards, but to practise as a GP in the UK you must complete a UK GP Training Scheme and pass the UK MRCGP.
Full RCGP International Membership benefits
Access to the membership directory, professional development resources, and the International Medical Graduate forum group. Curriculum is developed regionally to reflect local epidemiology and practice.
Six routes. One qualification.
The MRCGP[INT] is available through six accredited regional centres — each with its own eligibility, components and exam format. Pick a centre on the map and the dossier below switches to that board's full breakdown: route, components, sittings, fees and what it locally entitles you to.
Cyprus — Simulated Surgery route.
Open to international candidates, but you need either 5 years' clinical practice or completion of a 3-year family medicine training programme before sitting Simulated Surgery. The qualification is delivered alongside the University of Nicosia MSc in Family Medicine.
Written single-best-answer MCQ paper covering the knowledge base of UK-style family medicine.
Candidate stays in one consulting room while simulated patients rotate in — same case mix and standards as the UK CSA.
Supervised assessment of clinical practice, submitted as a portfolio across the programme.
Dubai (UAE) — CCSA + AKT.
Open to international candidates — you don't have to be a UAE resident or on a local training programme. Run by MBRU on behalf of the MRCGP[INT] Dubai Board, with eligibility decided centrally by the Examination Board.
Written paper assessing the family-medicine knowledge base required by the Dubai curriculum.
Simulated-surgery / OSCE-style clinical exam — communication, clinical management and professional integrity, held at MBRU.
Kosovo — residency exit exam.
Not open to international candidates. Restricted to doctors enrolled in the 3-year Family Medicine Residency at the Centre for the Development of Family Medicine (CDFM) in Pristina — this route exists to certify the local training programme, not as a standalone exam.
Written knowledge paper at the end of the residency cycle.
Conducted in-country by trained Kosovan examiners against a locally-written curriculum that reflects Kosovan epidemiology.
Built up across the 3-year residency — the day-to-day evidence of practice that underpins the exit assessment.
Kuwait — KIMS Family Medicine Residency.
Not open externally. Restricted to doctors on the 5-year Kuwait Family Medicine Residency. Assessment runs in two stages — a first part after Year 2 (to progress to Registrar), and the final MRCGP[INT]-equivalent exit exam after Year 5.
Sat at the end of the second residency year. Both components must be passed to progress to Registrar.
Written knowledge paper as part of the exit assessment after Year 5.
MRCGP[INT]-equivalent clinical assessment — simulated patients rotate to the candidate, modelled on the UK CSA.
Workplace-based evidence collected throughout the 5-year residency.
Malta — AKT + Recorded Consultation Assessment.
Not open externally. Restricted to doctors completing the MCFD Specialist Training Programme in Family Medicine. Internship year must be completed before entry. Uniquely among MRCGP[INT] routes, Malta uses an RCA-style submitted-video format rather than a live clinical sitting.
200 single-best-answer questions, 195 minutes (3 h 15 min), aligned to the STPFM curriculum. May include images, ECGs and X-rays.
13 video consultations submitted for marking — 12 of up to 12 minutes each plus 1 of up to 15 minutes. Generally in Maltese, with a minimum of 3 cases in English.
Workplace-based assessment evidence collected across the MCFD training programme.
South Asia — AKT + OSCE.
Open to international candidates across all four South Asian member countries. Eligibility is based on registrable medical practice plus family-medicine experience as set in the current application guide. The OSCE venue rotates between member countries.
200 single-best-answer questions across 3.5 hours, computer-based via Pearson VUE (test centres include Karachi and Abu Dhabi).
14 active stations × 10 minutes, plus 5 rest stations of 10 minutes interspersed. Standard OSCE rotation — candidates stay put while simulated patients and examiners move between stations.
Always check your regional board’s current regulations before applying.
MRCGP[INT] vs MRCGP UK.
Both share the same RCGP-accredited consultation framework. The differences are in components, curriculum, eligibility, and what the qualification entitles you to do.

| Eligibility | Must be on a UK GP Training Scheme | Set by regional board — varies from open routes to mandatory local training |
| Outcome | MRCGP — right to practise as a GP in the UK | MRCGP[INT] — eligible for RCGP International Membership; does not grant UK GP practice rights |
| Post-nominals | MRCGP | MRCGP[INT] |
| Accreditation | RCGP | RCGP, delivered through accredited regional boards |
Why use us?
Your MRCGP[INT] CSA is the UK SCA, accredited regionally. We’re the platform 9,000+ candidates use to pass it.
Your MRCGP[INT] CSA is the UK SCA.
Every accredited MRCGP[INT] route is modelled on the UK SCA — same RCGP framework, same marking domains, same simulated-patient format. The RCGP signs off on both. You’re sitting the same exam, in a different country.
We focus on one exam. It’s exactly the one you’re sitting.
Most revision sites cover everything — AKT, OSCE, portfolio, MEQ. We don’t. Every case, every marking scheme, every filmed consultation is engineered around the RCGP consultation framework — exactly what your CSA examines on.
The consultation layer in your MRCGP[INT] prep.
Your regional board handles local clinical content — prescribing, epidemiology, pathways. We handle the consultation skills that determine your pass mark. Two layers. No overlap. No waste.

Consultation guides
Breaking bad news
There are no good ways to break bad news. There are only ways that respect the person hearing it.
Pace is the difference between a patient who feels heard and one who feels processed.
01Slow down before you start
The opening 30 seconds set the entire consultation. Before delivering the news itself, signal that something serious is coming and check the patient is ready to hear it.
The bits that save your evening.
Smaller tools that take the friction out of revising — built into every case so you spend your time consulting, not preparing to consult. Plus a built-in case timer so the exam pace becomes muscle memory.
Hit generate. The platform pulls a balanced set of cases across topics, hides their content behind generic labels, and gives you a 4-character code to share with your study group. Run it solo or together — anyone with the code joins the same set.
Every case you complete lands here. See progress across every clinical topic, which areas are strong, which need work, and how many days till your exam.
22 competencies across the three consultation domains. Tag each one Done well, Partially, or Poorly as you (or your study partner) work through the case. Domain percentages update live, with an exam-style report card at the end.
Four steps. On repeat.
Filter 360+ cases by topic, body system, presentation. Or randomise.
Roleplay with a partner, run with an AI patient, or watch the filmed version.
Tick the scheme yourself, or send the recording to AI marking for a domain-by-domain report.
See your trajectory. Drill the gaps the platform surfaces.
Built for the exam, by people who know it inside out.
Every case, marking scheme and management note is written by GPs who train, supervise and examine registrars. Not generic question-bank writers. Not AI-generated.
Used across UK GP training and by international candidates preparing for MRCGP[INT] CSA-equivalent components.
Cases written against current UK guidelines (NICE, CKS, BNF, RCGP, RCOG, BASHH, FSRH). The clinical reasoning and consultation structure transfer across regions — local clinical context should be sourced from your regional MRCGP[INT] board.
Cases mirror the structure, length, marking criteria and patient communication style of the RCGP-accredited consultation assessments.
Standard vs Premium
Both plans give you full access to the case library and revision tools. Premium adds 70+ trainer-led consultation videos.

Is this platform useful for the MRCGP[INT]?
The clinical / CSA / Simulated Surgery / OSCE component of every accredited MRCGP[INT] route is designed to mirror the UK SCA — same marking domains, same case structure, same simulated patient format. Our 360+ cases drill the consultation skills assessed in those components. We don’t cover the AKT, MEQ, or WPBA — for those, use your regional board’s curriculum and recommended reading.
Which MRCGP[INT] routes does the platform support?
The consultation cases transfer across all six accredited regional routes (Cyprus, Dubai, Kosovo, Kuwait, Malta, South Asia) because all use a CSA-equivalent clinical component modelled on the UK SCA. Local clinical content (regional epidemiology, prescribing, pathways) should be sourced separately from your regional board.
Will this prepare me to practise as a GP in the UK?
No. MRCGP[INT] does not grant the right to practise as a GP in the UK. UK GP practice requires completing a UK GP Training Scheme and passing the UK MRCGP. Our platform prepares you for the consultation component of your MRCGP[INT] exam — not for UK practice eligibility.
Who writes the cases?
Experienced UK GP trainers with first-hand exam experience. Cases are written for the UK SCA — the consultation skills they drill transfer directly to MRCGP[INT] CSA-equivalents because both share the same RCGP-accredited consultation framework.
What’s the difference between Standard and Premium?
Standard gives you 360+ cases and all study tools. Premium adds 70+ filmed consultations with marking commentary.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly subscriptions, no minimum commitment.
Do I need a study partner?
No. AI patients let you practise out loud whenever you want. Group revision tools are there if you have a partner.
How often is new content added?
New cases and content added regularly. Members get notified when new cases land.
What payment methods are accepted?
Card payments through scarevision.co.uk. Prices listed in GBP.
