FAQs
Is there a difference between a UCAT Classroom Course and a UCAT Live Online Course?
The obvious difference between the two courses is that if you opt for a Live Online course, you won't physically be joining your teacher in a classroom. However, the online classroom that you will join allows you to see your teacher through a webcam, chat with other students, watch as your teacher illustrates answers to questions, and ask any questions you might have. Everything else between the two courses is the same.
How does UCAT Live Online work?
Using Adobe Connect Software, our virtual classroom allows you to receive all the benefits of a live classroom course, but from home!
You won't need to install any software. When you join the virtual classroom, your teacher will encourage you to run the audio wizard to ensure that everything is set up correctly. We'll send your course materials to you through the post, so the only thing required for the course is internet access, and a computer with speakers or a headset so that you can hear your teacher.
What will I see on my screen when I am in the virtual classroom?
The virtual classroom has a number of features, so the layout of the screen will change according to what the teacher is reviewing. Features include presentation slides (which correspond with your course materials), UCAT questions, a question-and-answer box, chat areas, online polls and an onscreen whiteboard which the instructor will write on just like in a “real” classroom.
What can I expect of the UCAT resources on the course?
You will receive an extensive range of preparation tools including an Online Study Centre (complete with 6 tests and 500+ quizzes) and a Strategy Book.
Please note that although these resources will have the name UKCAT on them, the UCAT tests exactly the same content as the UKCAT, and the practise resources will be the perfect fit for your UCAT preparation.
I have questions about the Live Online Course - who should I contact?
Please Contact Us or call us on 0207 930 3130.
