Calculations One-Week (COW) Intensive Course

We know how stressful preparing for GPhC Registration Assessment can be and the biggest worry for many pre-reg’s is calculations. That’s why we’ve developed an intensive course that provides the knowledge, practice and support required to help your confidence with calculations grow. Our Calculations One-Week Intensive course provides online interactive tutorials, over 100 GPhC-style questions to be completed under timed conditions and daily support from Buttercups pharmacist tutors who will be on hand to deal with your individual questions and concerns.

“The programme was great in helping to answer different types of questions. The tutors were also great and answered questions promptly.”

“I really liked the constant support I received knowing that if I sent a question, I’d have it answered within a day.”

"I liked how the programme was able to cover all areas of the syllabus and how the questions became more challenging through the course"

The Calculations One-Week Intensive course is a structured programme with daily activities that you will be guided through over a seven-day period.
