Our Live Teach the Teacher courses help doctors develop the skills to teach and guide junior colleagues and students effectively.
“The content is presented in such a clear and engaging way, so it's made it very easy to absorb important educational theories and practice.”
Our CPD-accredited medical education courses can be delivered live over one or two interactive days and also include full access to our flexible on-demand programme. All three formats award 12 CPD points and a formal certificate you can use for CCT, interviews, appraisals, and, in many specialties, your application portfolio.
Across our live courses, you’ll explore core adult learning theories, develop the confidence to deliver effective teaching sessions, and learn how to adapt your style to suit different audiences. You’ll also gain practical insight into giving feedback, structuring lessons, and applying evidence-based techniques to your teaching practice.
All subscribers to the live course will receive free access to the on-demand course.
Many deaneries now have teaching courses on their approved study budget course lists. If you are a UK doctor on a national training programme (e.g. foundation training, ST/CT training etc.), you may, therefore, be able to claim the cost of the Medibuddy Teach the Teacher course from your study budget.
Formal training in teaching on a two‑day course remains a CCT requirement for most specialties. However, for some training posts like IMT, a one‑day synchronous course (minimum 6 hours) now earns application points. It’s best to review the specific requirements for your specialty in the current person specification.
Our Teach the Teacher courses are fully accredited by the CPD Certification Service, making it valid for CCT, interviews and appraisals. You can find our CPD registration here.

What is a Live Teach the Teacher Course?
A live TTT course gives doctors and other healthcare professionals the opportunity to explore educational theory and teaching techniques in a structured, interactive format. Delivered in real time, it helps you develop your confidence as a presenter and equips you with the tools to teach effectively in clinical and academic settings. You'll learn how people learn, how to structure your teaching, and how to give meaningful feedback.
How is the on-demand course different from the live version?
The on-demand course is fully self-paced, making it ideal if you want to fit your learning around a busy schedule. You can complete the material at a time and pace that works for you.
In contrast, our live courses take place over either one or two scheduled days and are delivered in real time. You'll take part in live sessions, interact with tutors, and learn alongside others. They also include access to the full on-demand course, giving you the flexibility to review the material at your convenience.
Are Train the Trainer courses the same as medical teaching courses?
Not quite. While “Train the Trainer” courses are often found in non-clinical settings and focus on general workplace teaching, medical teaching courses, like Teach the Teacher, are tailored to the unique demands of healthcare education. If you're teaching in a clinical or academic medical setting, it's best to choose a course that focuses specifically on medical education.
How can I find a Teach the Teacher course?
Many in-person Teach the Teacher courses are run in major cities across the UK. You can usually find them with a quick online search, such as “Teach the Teacher course near me.” These face-to-face sessions may appeal if you prefer learning in a physical classroom.
If you're looking for greater flexibility or don’t live near a course venue, an online option may suit you better. Virtual courses like ours can be more affordable and allow you to complete the content from home, at your own pace.
Who should take this course?
This TTT course is aimed at healthcare professionals who are involved in teaching or want to improve their teaching skills. That includes doctors, nurses, physician associates, and other clinicians.
It’s a great option if you're thinking about taking on formal teaching responsibilities or want to work toward roles such as teaching fellow, clinical supervisor, or medical school faculty member.
