Give us a call, speak to the Interviews Coordinator, and find out the key information today!  **Are Your Students Ready for their Medical Interview?**  **Will they achieve success?**  **Will they be at their best?**  **Are they prepared enough to gain an edge required to outperform the other candidates?**  ***Coming up...***  *Medical School Interview Preparation with our Senior Interview Trainers*   **Live Online Interactive Training**  OR  **In-Person Attendance Class**  Next [Intensive Interview Workshop](https://www.nie.edu.au/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&subid=24555&urlid=10799&mailid=964) training date *(limited spots left)*  **17 & 18 November 2020, 10:00am - 5:00pm each day (AEDT)**  [**ENROL** today to avoid disappointment of missing out!](https://www.nie.edu.au/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&subid=24555&urlid=19957&mailid=964)  [View other dates and locations](https://www.nie.edu.au/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&subid=24555&urlid=10130&mailid=964)   Every student enrolled in the Interview Workshop will receive a complimentary copy of the  [NIE Interview Techniques Textbook](https://www.nie.edu.au/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&subid=24555&urlid=10798&mailid=964)  Every serious undergraduate applicant MUST take the interview process very seriously and do not ever play it down. Every year we deal with the aftermath of "I should be right" attitude. Quite often this attitude results in the applicant realising that they have failed the interview by the time the second question is being asked. You must understand that while not everyone requires extensive preparation, everyone does need to prepare to some extent in order not live things for chance. Remember...medical interview is NOT just a chat!  **[Read about Medical Interviews](https://www.nie.edu.au/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&subid=24555&urlid=10136&mailid=964)**  **[Read about why early interview preparation is highly recommended](https://www.nie.edu.au/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&subid=24555&urlid=16427&mailid=964)**  **SO I HAVE DECIDED TO START PREPARING, WHAT NOW...WHERE SHOULD I START?**  Here is a list of services offered through the National Institute of Education for your medical interview preparation and readiness.  1\. We have arranged a number of intensive interview preparation workshops. Some are run as in-person events, others will be run as a small-group, Live Online Interactive programs.
