Students in a medical training session

Courses are not just theory. They are designed to be practical and career orientated, divided into sections each containing a teaching lesson followed by one or more practical projects. You will really benefit from the knowledge but an added advantage comes from practicing the medical skills in a simulation setting so that you don't have to practice on people.

  • Checkmark Learn how to set a broken bone for various types of fractures
  • Checkmark Learn how to suture wounds on multi-layered, highly realistic artificial skin and learn the right closure technique for each kind of wound
  • Checkmark Practice drawing blood and learn how to pin point blood vessels even when they’re stubbornly hard to find
  • Checkmark Practice controlling and stopping a life-threatening bleed pouring out at 120/80 (or higher) mmHg
  • Checkmark Develop the ability to read and interpret an electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Checkmark Learn how to scrub for surgery and master the key subject of Sterility and Asepsis
  • Checkmark Build a strong foundation in the language of medicine with our FREE online Medical Terminology course. It will make all your future studies easier to understand and seamless.
  • Checkmark Discover how to lower your medico-legal risks and improve your success in private practice by mastering Behavioral Science.

The Foundation Course:

Where serious students stop reading about medicine and start practicing it. Across 50+ hands-on projects, you'll conduct medical examinations, assess vital signs, use real diagnostic instruments, and elicit neurological reflexes, take blood pressure, and too much more to mention here.

Get the kind of broad, grounded foundation that traditional pre-med pathways only build by accident.

60 Extracurricular Medical Training hours · Signed certificate on completion · Self-paced

For pre-medical, medical, nursing, and medical assistant students, paramedics, military medics, and advanced high schoolers seriously considering medicine as a career.

Venipuncture and Phlebotomy Course

Venipuncture & Phlebotomy Course:

The most-performed procedure in medicine. Across 60 hours and a paired hands-on training kit, you'll learn to navigate cardiovascular anatomy, find veins that don't want to be found, maintain sterile technique, and perform venipuncture and IV placement with the steadiness that comes only from practice.

For Medical, Pre-medical, EMT, Nursing, Phlebotomy, Medical Assistant, and Veterinary students, Paramedics, Military medics.

How to Suture Wounds Course

The skill every doctor wishes they'd practiced more before their first real patient. You'll tie surgical knots, learn wound care principles, and master the right closure technique for each kind of wound, all using realistic simulation skin that responds the way human tissue does. By the end, the foundational techniques every clinician relies on — in emergency rooms, operating theatres, dental practices, and veterinary clinics — will be muscle memory.

25 Extracurricular Medical Training hours · Signed certificate on completion · Self-paced

For medical school, pre-med, dental, medical assistant, veterinary, nursing students, paramedics, military medics, and qualified healthcare professionals brushing up on a foundational skill.

Suture Wounds Course
Control Bleeding Course

Control Bleeding Course:

The one skill that can decide whether someone lives long enough to reach a hospital. Across 25 hours and 10 hands-on projects, you'll move from the science of hemostasis — vascular anatomy, blood clotting, and the spiral of hemorrhagic shock — to the techniques that actually stop the bleed: direct pressure, wound packing, tourniquets, and, in the controlled medical setting, clamping and tying off bleeding vessels. Every method is rehearsed on a pressurised simulation arm bleeding at 120/80 mmHg, so the technique is muscle memory long before it ever matters.

25 Extracurricular Medical Training hours · Signed certificate on completion · Self-paced

For pre-med and medical students, EMT, paramedic, and nursing students, military medics, qualified professionals refreshing a life-saving skill, and advanced high schoolers seriously considering emergency medicine, trauma surgery, or paramedicine.

Sterility and Aseptic Techniques Course:

Walk into any procedural setting with the technique most students take months of clinicals to develop. Across 35 hands-on hours, you'll master sterile field setup, scrubbing technique, instrument hand-offs, and the contamination risks that cause hospital-acquired infections.

Graduate with the discipline every operating theatre, dental practice, and procedural setting expects — the confidence to assist without hesitation, and a credential that signals to admissions committees and employers that you take patient safety seriously.

Sterility and Aseptic Techniques
Fracture Reduction Course

Fracture Reduction Course

What orthopedic surgery actually feels like — practiced before you scrub in for the first time. Across 30 hours, you'll learn to prepare sterile fields, reduce and align fractures, apply fixation hardware, and close surgical wounds, while building a working understanding of bone biology and how healing actually happens.

60 Extracurricular Medical Training hours · Signed certificate on completion · Self-paced

For pre-med and medical students considering surgery as a specialty or want to gain a practical understanding of the skeletal system, paramedics, and athletic trainers.

Obstetrics Course:

Practice C-section simulation, forceps delivery, and labor management. Across 45 hours and 21 hands-on projects, you'll work through female reproductive anatomy, pregnancy progression, sterile suturing for perineal repairs, and natural-birth scenarios using forceps and ventouse, building the practical foundation that pre-meds and early medical students rarely arrive with. You'll graduate with hands-on experience in procedures most students never touch until obstetric rotations.

45 Extracurricular Medical Training hours · Signed certificate on completion · Self-paced

For pre-med and medical students, future obstetricians and midwives, and nursing students considering labor and delivery.

Cardiology Course

Cardiology: Unlock ECG Diagnostic Skills and Save Lives:

Across 30 hours of structured lessons, learn the 7-Step ECG Ruler — a method that turns rhythm interpretation from intuition into a systematic, repeatable process. You'll diagnose arrhythmias, identify myocardial infarction patterns, and apply the interventions that follow each finding. You'll use this system on every shift with the confidence to make ECG interpretation one of your most reliable diagnostic tools.

For aspiring clinicians at every level, anyone planning a career that will involve the ICU or ER, future cardiologists, paramedics, pre-med, medical and nursing students, and allied healthcare professionals seeking CPD/CME points.

Pulse Oximetry Mini Course

The device every clinician uses. The readings most don't fully understand. In 10 focused hours, you'll learn what every pulse oximetry reading means, why it varies between patients, and what early warning signs the numbers are quietly telling you — the patterns that distinguish stable patients from ones beginning to deteriorate.

10 Extracurricular Medical Training hours · Signed certificate on completion · Self-paced

The perfect companion to our Cardiology / ECG course. For aspiring clinicians at every level, anyone planning a career that will involve the ICU or ER, future cardiologists, paramedics, pre-med, medical and nursing students, allied healthcare professionals seeking CPD/CME points, and any clinician sharpening cardiopulmonary assessment skills.

FREE COURSE

Decoding Medicine: Mastering the Language of Healthcare:

The language every other medical course assumes you already know. Taught for free. You'll decode 200+ medical terms — prefixes like "tachy-", suffixes like "-itis", conditions like "gastralgia" — then put them to work in real patient charts and ER scenarios. By the end, you'll read medical texts the way clinicians do: in full sentences, not in fragments.
