What people say about us

I found this course really helpful as a means of refreshing the cytology notes from my Derm Cert. Practicing trying to write cytology reports with a kind and reassuring expert tutor on hand helped turn theory into practice. Really useful and enjoyable. Thanks

Using one word: recommended! Skin Cytology Course is well organised and well-structured. It gives the basics to approach cytology in a linear and clear way. I was looking for something to be more comfortable with cytological descriptions and train my eyes to cell types identification. Found it!

Untutored On Demand

This course is designed as a refresher CPD course and is composed of a series of modules, with each module containing a recorded video webinar, notes to download and keep, plus clinical cases to deepen your understanding. The webinars are not live and can be viewed whenever works best for you.

Tutored courses run with a tutor for three weeks (the advertised dates), plus you then get continued access for a further 11 months (so 12 months in total). You can do our courses at your own pace and at times that suit you. Nothing has to be done at set times, so the courses are perfect for a world-wide audience.

Tutored courses are supplemented by a discussion forum where you can ask the tutor questions and debate topics relevant to your daily practice – this forum operates for the three weeks of the advertised course dates. Total course access is 12 months. Courses are completed with an MCQ exam (giving you 8 hours of CPD) which can be taken at any time during the 12 months the course is running.
