"I recently completed the 10-day face-to-face PLAB 2 course at Hive Medical Academy, and I can recommend it highly enough. From day one, the atmosphere was professional, supportive, and focused on success. The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable and provide personalized feedback that truly transforms your clinical communication skills and station management. What sets Hive apart is their attention to detail and the realism of their mock setups. I walked in feeling overwhelmed and walked out feeling confident and exam-ready. If you want to pass PLAB 2 on your first attempt, Hive Medical Academy is the place to be. Thank you to the entire team for such a brilliant experience!"

Hi, I have attended many programmes for PLAB 2 from HIVE academy and would like to provide a genuine review highlighting the areas of strength to help PLAB 2 aspirants decide if this is the right academy for them Handled by experienced professionals- My sessions were handled by Dr Shakil and Dr Umar , who have worked in NHS for around 2 decades. They will also be directly coaching you( no middleman ). So, rest assured that you are in good hands Flexible options - whether you want an online mock or an offline one, a one-to-one class focussing on areas you want to improve on, or want to join a regular 10 day programme- online or in person- they’ve got you covered. Feel free to tailor the programme according to your needs and preferences. If you book personalised sessions, you can even discuss and choose how to utilise these sessions Approachability and convenience- The consultants are very approachable ( Feel free to discuss with them regarding any issue). The academy is located in Manchester in a convenient location, and they can even help provide an accommodation near the academy End to end support - Although PLAB 2 is the main reason for which I chose the academy, they offer solutions for English language test, PLAB 1, Clinical attachments, applying for jobs under NHS and much more which aspirants can get to know about depending on their preferences. Also, being an international medical graduate himself, Dr Shakil understands the unique issues faced by IMGs and can offer nuanced solutions to common challenges faced by IMGs in the PLAB 2 exam.
