Dr. Ahmed Neweraa month agoI would like to give Aspire Academy my highest recommendation for anyone aiming to pass PLAB 2, and here's why: The physicians at Aspire Academy are not just experts; they are truly excellent doctors who provide outstanding guidance. Their deep knowledge of the exam, coupled with their dedication to staying updated with the latest trends, recalls, and exam tricks, ensures you're thoroughly prepared. Aspire Academy offers a range of learning modalities, including online and offline courses, mock exams, hands-on practice sessions, and many other invaluable resources. The accommodation is close to the academy and wonderfully comfortable. You can choose between shared and single rooms, all at affordable prices.

The staff are incredibly supportive, friendly, and cooperative, ensuring a seamless and pleasant experience.

Titisari Wardani2 weeks agoI got recommended this academy by a friend, and did not regret it at all. Anw I wrote this review after passing the exam (15/16) so I guess it adds up to its validity. This academy is literally everything you need and more. I came to the UK 1,5mos before my exam date, and it was enough. I came with zero prep, not knowing anything abt the exam, joined the 12-days offline course, and my knowledge went 📈📈📈. Their teachings & notes are very very useful. Afterwards I teamed up with 4-6 people, did regular practise sessions everyday, and ASPIRE did help a lot in this aspect by holding a regular and scheduled post-course sessions (SPAM, prescription writings, hands-on manequinns, etc) which was extremely useful. I also took 2 mocks, which was more than enough to assess myself. Not to mention, the academy was located perfectly by the beach in Blackpool, which is a small town with not that many leisure activities that may distract us from studying 😂 Their accommodation options were also fairly-priced and quite decent. All in all, it was a 5 stars experience, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's currently stressing out prepping for PLAB 2 (like I was). 💯

Achyut Kanungo2 months agoTo start with, my decision to apply at Aspire for the face-to-face course was solidified after attending the online classes for the PLAB2 course. The highlights included the clear explanations, crisp and precise briefs on how to approach the stations, and detailed examination stations over the course of 12 days. Nikhil sir and Ankur sir are excellent in terms of drilling the important know-hows. Sincerely wish the entire team the very best in all future endeavours. The technical team is really fabulous and the online portal is really smooth in terms of operation, unlike other platforms.
