After every session, you’ll receive a personalised follow up summary with feedback.

Our Reviews
Scarlett Barnett - Smith - Deck OOW Unlimited
MCA Oral Exam Prep Service
"Tom helped me with my oral prep, and I’m so glad he did.
He was absolutely brilliant, patient, supportive, and extremely thorough in his explanations. His guidance, particularly with the Collision Regulations, made a huge difference. He helped me understand not just how to recall the rules, but how to apply them confidently in practical situations.
I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to any cadet seeking support with oral preparation."
