Virtual Course
NZ $800
15 - 26 June 2026
With in-person places limited, this is the next-best option for candidates who are unable to attend on site and prefer not to join online group viva sessions.
The majority of the two-week programme is live-streamed and recorded, including exam-focused lectures and interactive small-group tutorials. You’ll also complete a full mock written exam and a carefully curated SAQ set. We use Thinkific to communicate, stream, and store content, and a Samsung Flip 2 e-whiteboard so drawing-heavy sessions (e.g., graphs) translate clearly online. Online candidates can communicate with us and are welcome to ask questions during sessions.
As with the in-person course, the virtual stream is tailored to candidates about to sit, with a strong emphasis on exam technique, practice, and high standards across high-yield topics.
​​​​
Lectures
38.5 hours of exam-focused teaching delivered by practising anaesthetists from across New Zealand, spanning the ANZCA Primary syllabus with emphasis on commonly challenging concepts. All sessions are live-streamed and recorded for on-demand viewing, and virtual attendees can ask questions in real time via our Q&A portal.
Small Group Tutorials
11 hours of small-group tutorials, live-streamed and recorded. These interactive sessions are delivered to the in-person cohort; virtual candidates can watch live or on demand. Focus on exam technique and high-yield concepts.
SAQ Practice
On most days, candidates complete 2–4 practice SAQs under exam conditions—typically 1–2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. While in-person marking isn’t available, we provide guidance to help you structure and improve your answers.
Practice Exam
We run a full mock written exam in Week 1, comprising of MCQ and SAQ papers. The MCQ can be sat online at a time that suits you, but must be completed in one continuous sitting. The SAQ paper can likewise be sat at a time that suits you (under timed, exam-style conditions). While in-person marking isn’t available, we provide guidance to help you structure and improve your answers.
Online Course Material
All course materials will remain available online until the end of the second sitting of the Primary exam (usually mid-October).
