1. How many
spaces are there in each course
The intensive weekend course is only for 20
candidates and the detailed course allows only 20 overseas doctors in
Birmingham and 10 in Manchester. This is the decision of the management
at Salford Hospital NHS trust (Hope Hospital)
2. What if all spaces are filled?
You have the option of going on to the waiting list for the next
course or you can have all your amount refunded. We therefore advice you
to apply early if you wish to take our courses
3. Can I start in the middle of
one course?
You can start in the middle of one course if there are places
available. This is applicable for only the detailed course.
4. Can you take me if there are no places in
the course?
We do not entertain additional candidates
once a course is full. Therefore please book in advance for a confirmed
place.
5. Can I speak to any one
regarding admission queries?
If you have any queries regarding the course or admission to the course
you can either send an e-mail to birminghamplabcourse@yahoo.co.uk
or leave a message at the answer-phone service (07958474522). For a
prompt response we would prefer you send your questions by e-mail.
6. Can I book before for a later
course but pay now?
Yes you can book now for a later course. If there is any increase in the
course fee, you will not have to pay any more money.
7. If I am a refugee doctor, can
I attend the intensive weekend course?
At present this is discussed on an individual basis and therefore you
have to raise this question with us for us to be able to answer.
8. Is accommodation provided?
We can book accommodation in Birmingham for the Saturdays if you are
going to attend the intensive 2 weekend course but you have to give us
atleast 4 weeks notice and send the amounts. For Manchester course we
can refer you to places which give paying guest accommodation. We can
also arrange long term accommodation in Birmingham for the detailed
course

examination?
You can attend only the mock examination. Please make sure that you are
filling the correct application form

letter?
We give sponsorship letter only if you are taking our course. If you
are not taking our course, we do not give a sponsorship letter. Please
note that there is an additional non-refundable administration charge if
you need a sponsorship letter for your visa purposes.
11. What is
about the detailed course?
We are presently planning the future detailed
courses as we have had extremely good results with the intensive weekend
courses. We think that the intensive weekend courses are as good as the
detailed courses.
12. Can you
provide accommodation during the days the courses are held in Birmingham
? what will be the cost of accommodation in around your college ?
We can arrange accommodation around the hospital. The cost will be £50
for the 2 Saturdays if you are taking the weekend course. For long term
accommodation the charges are usually around £50 per week for student
accomodation

the faculty members of the course ?
All of them are consultants or Specialist Registrars who are working in
NHS at present and have taken the PLAB examination. Most of them have
written chapters for PLAB 2 books as well

At present we can only give you addresses where you can apply but do not
arrange it ourselves.
