We are different at PassGP.
We are National Examiners & Educators.
Michelle's passion was always to become a GP.
However her dream career is turning into a nightmare. She is an outstanding GP trainee but has now failed the StAMPS exam three times. She misses seeing her family, and she is time poor.
What Michelle lacks is not knowledge, but examination technique.
We get you.
We understand the heartbreak of failing an exam, with no apparent reason.
As former examiners, we’ve seen many candidates fail their exams simply due to exam technique.
With PassGP you are not alone - we are in it together.
Let us show you proper examination technique, so that you can pass first time.
