Lectures were good but the approach to the exam and reporting of results was dreadful.
The online tuition was presented well and the visual aids were informative. Some tutors were better than others in response to questions but in particular the pathology/endocrinology lectuer was very helpful as was the respiratory medicine lecturer and dermatologist.
However, the approach to the exam was woeful with very little information where approx 2 weeks prior to the exam a new invigilation model was put in place. Although there was a practice log in session this was only to see if screen share was working and the internet speed was enough. Had it not been s,o then it would have been very stressful sorting that out in the short time available. This exam though was stressful enough without then trying to know why the computer would not let me start the exam only then realising that my phone camera was meant to explore the room rather than my internet camera. Some better information on this would have been appreciated. I also realised in my next section that I was about to be allowed to start my exam only then realising my invigilation was not recording possibly resulting in an automatic fail. My stress levels were then through the roof making it extremely difficult to focus on my exam. I will admit my view is coloured having failed one of the components of the exam which I believed to be excessively pedantic despite getting the diagnosis and treatment correct but admit I had not considered EVERY differential. I was previously happy with a prior certificate I had done with Improve and wanted to replicate the experience but I was disappointed. Even the reporting of the results was poorly delivered. I had expected the results within 6 to 8 weeks but it took 10 weeks. It would have been nice to get an update email now and then just to let us know when to expect the results. It was a much more unpleasant experience with this certificate but I hope to persevere and complete the certificate at a later date.

I have raised my lengthy concerns directly to the company. but they included lack of communication and course notes.
Its a shame as this was always considered a very good option for CPD.

Excellent speakers and course content but let down by poor organisation/management from Improve
I previously studied for and gained a PgC in small animal medicine with Improve in 2014 and was very impressed with the venue, speakers and organisation. I have been working towards a PgC in ophthalmology over the last couple of years and although the course content and speakers were still very good the organisation by Improve was not. Both in my course and for colleagues doing certificates in many other areas there were mistakes made with dates of the attendance days, some deadlines were unrealistic, dates of exams and coursework deadlines would change and sometimes were elusive. Given almost all attendees are busy working practitioners we need to depend on solid organisation and did not consistently receive this which was both unnecessarily stressful and frustrating given the cost of the course.
If this review were just on the speakers and course content it would be 5*. If it were just for Improve’s management/organisation it would be 1*.

The organisation was poor
The quality of the course was good but I was very dissapointed with
- Advice given online, how accessible it was to find out what the next step was
- One time they summoned all the delegates on a certain date but the teacher wasn't told the right dates so we spent two days there in vain
- The exam in 2023 was a disaster, they uploaded the wrong CBS exam which delayed things and stressed us out, I failed (unsure if due to the stress or if I was meant to fail anyway) but that was very stressful

Online modules were good
Online modules were good, comprehensive with knowledge checks to backup learning.
In person lectures there was just too much to take in.
The exams process was handled terribly. Not to know the time of the exam with less than two weeks to go is appalling.

The content of the course is excellent
The content of the course is excellent, and my exam day went OK despite the complex nature of taking the exam with all the checks. I have really enjoyed the course.
It has been stressful with submitting assignments and portals being updated, communication could have been better.

Our lecturer made the course. Without her it wouldn't have been half as good.
Improve themselves were a little unorganised with poor communication.

Feedback
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with this online program. My only dislike about it was the time difference, but there really isn't anything that can be done about that and I knew it when I started the program. I am very technically challenged and everyone was extremely helpful when question would arise.

If you can regurgitate pointless facts this is for you
The examination was designed to confuse. It clearly didn’t reflect the knowledge only the ability to regurgitate facts.The obscurity about the results and the inability to adapt to a different form of examination still amaze me. Don’t waste your money, having this cert won’t make you a better vet. I don’t rate these after my experience, it only shows you can memorise, not your ability to operate. I won’t put myself through this again.

All round poor experience
Poor organisation, date changes, failure to upload any learning material on time and had to be asked for multiple times, lack of support when asking questions.
The whole course is poorly set out, no one learns 2 days a week every other month for 1 year and then expected to take an exam at the end with no work/help/tasks in between. By the end of the year everything we learnt was gone. Needs to be exams after every module to help with learning styles. If we fail i’m not suprised as everything we have been physically taught is gone.
Good provision of lecture notes in physical booklets but constantly repeating themselves.
Wouldn’t recommend the course for value of money at all. The main lecturer was the only positive of the course as she provided way more than the course itself did.

Communication frustrations
Communication with the program was very difficult; I was not receiving important information regarding my case study, even a response when it was complete. I felt I was in the dark most of the course. It was also frustrating that after the modules were complete you could not ask the instructors questions.
