Backed by a Guarantee
Built by an NHS Consultant
Structured 4-week system
The Ace Your Consultant Interview Academy is designed to make NHS consultant interview preparation easier and more focused. Instead of guessing what to revise, we follow a clear structure, work with people who’ve been through the process, and learn how to present your experience in a way interview panels understand.
The Ace Your Consultant Interview Academy was created by Dr Tessa Davis, an NHS Consultant who has been on both sides of the interview table and knows how it feels to be anxious, under pressure, and unsure where to start. After struggling with her own early interviews, she built a clear, practical system that has since helped over 2,200 doctors secure substantive NHS Consultant posts across the UK. The Ace Your Consultant Interview Academy exists so that good doctors don’t miss out on jobs because of interview techniques.
“I used to freeze in every interview – now I coach doctors to land their dream jobs.”
We open the doors to the Academy only a few times per year. If you’d like to be the first to know when we reopen – and get early access to limited spots – join the waitlist below.
You can be an outstanding doctor and still miss out on your dream consultant job.

The AYCI Academy solves this. We give you a clear, proven framework to prepare with confidence, structure your answers, and showcase your unique strengths-so you walk in ready to deliver your best, every time.
Ileana shares why pre interview visits and discussions with colleagues were such an important part of her preparation. By asking the right questions about the service, understanding where the team was heading, and identifying how her own experience could contribute, she was able to shape stronger, more relevant interview answers and bring fresh ideas into her service development presentation.
After trying a one-day course that didn’t move the needle, the real shift came from ongoing practice, weekly sessions, and putting yourself in uncomfortable situations like live questioning and video submissions. It was not just about learning what to say, but learning how to think, respond, and perform under pressure. Honest, compassionate feedback played a huge role in building confidence and improving over time.
Instead of going in blind, Sulmaaz researched board meeting minutes, ICB priorities, hospital pain points, and service needs so she could speak directly to what mattered most. That preparation helped her show insight, initiative, and senior-level thinking, even as someone coming from outside the organisation.
