Clinical Assessment of Skills and Competencies (CASC) revision
Our innovative CASC online training resource provides psychiatrists preparing for the RCPsych CASC exam with an unparalleled opportunity to practise stations in a highly realistic, exam-style format.
Subscribers gain access to AI-simulated actors who respond in real time, mirroring the dynamics of an actual CASC station. Each station presents candidates with the same structure used in the exam: candidate instructions followed by a seven-minute interactive session where they must complete the specified task under timed conditions. This immersive experience allows candidates to refine their clinical and communication skills in a way that traditional courses cannot replicate.
Once the station is completed, performance is assessed using a rigorous marking scheme aligned with the official RCPsych exam criteria. Candidates receive detailed feedback highlighting their strengths, areas for improvement, and whether their performance would have met the passing standard.
To support structured learning, each station includes a suggested interview schedule, outlining key questions and an effective approach to managing time. This helps candidates develop a clear strategy for tackling stations efficiently, ensuring they cover essential components within the allocated time.
Unlike traditional face-to-face courses, this resource allows candidates to practise far more stations at their convenience while receiving constructive and unbiased feedback, something that can be difficult to obtain when practising with colleagues. The subscription includes a set number of credits. Once initial credits are used, candidates can purchase additional credits as needed, ensuring continued practice and improvement.
This resource is designed to enhance CASC preparation by improving confidence, refining time management skills, and ensuring candidates understand exactly what is required to pass each station. By offering flexible, high-volume practice opportunities with instant feedback, this is the most advanced and effective way to prepare for the CASC exam.
