Overview

The Waikato Primary Exam Course is an annual, intensive two-week course designed to help prepare candidates to pass the Primary ANZCA examination. The course consists of exam focused lectures, interactive group tutorials, viva sessions and short answer question practice. 

The course is tailored to those who are about to sit the exam as there is a strong focus on exam technique and practice.

Candidates are able to attend the course in-person or virtually.

For those doing the first sitting, we have a new online course available.

"I’m extremely grateful for the Waikato course, and for you and the other course contributors for your teaching, feedback and exposure to so many practice vivas and SAQs. It made such a difference in our exam preparation, and definitely upped the ante in terms of knowledge and motivation."
