Our program will include live multiple choice questions (MCQs) to test your knowledge with immediate feedback to help prepare for the Canadian Royal College exam. New for 2025! During the live course week, participants will complete a graded online practice MCQ exam. This scheduled exam offers a unique chance to test knowledge in a timed setting, adding valuable preparation alongside the MCQs in the presentations.
