Our coaching
About Fellow Academy Coaching
Coaching is not a full preparation programme. It exists to find your weak points and correct them, which makes it most useful for two groups:
Repeat candidates
Candidates who have sat the CCE before and cannot risk another attempt.
First-time candidates
New CCE candidates who want to do everything they can to pass first time.
Coaching can be used independently or combined with our comprehensive CCE exam preparation resources.
Small-group coaching
Fully bookedWith Dr Shaun Tan
Three live coaching sessions with Dr Shaun Tan, seven hours in total.
- Maximum of four candidates per group
- By application, so that groups are matched on stage of preparation and availability
- Group support so you’re not preparing alone
All candidates commit to the complete three-session programme.

Watch how our expert coaches guide you through exam-level patient simulations and case discussions.
Case discussion
Elderly man with hip pain, cognitive decline, and VAD request
James, 85M, living in residential aged care presents with a four-week history of persistent right hip pain. The pain has led to a decline in mobility and overall functioning. He has mild cognitive impairment, hearing impairment, and has experienced unintentional weight loss.
Nursing staff report that James appears more withdrawn, raising concern about low mood. His daughter is involved in his care, and during the consultation James raises the issue of voluntary assisted dying, seeking to discuss his options.

What Practice Alone Cannot Show You
The CCE is a performance-based exam, and performances are difficult to judge on your own.
You can work through case after case without ever noticing that you talk for four minutes before reaching a plan, or that you registered the red flag but never said it aloud.
In our CCE coaching, you work through exam-level cases while an experienced coach watches how you perform, then tells you exactly what to change.

Limited spots
Why Group Coaching Is by Application
Dr Shaun Tan runs a limited number of groups, and each one takes four candidates.
The application is how groups are formed. Candidates in a coaching group are at a similar stage of preparation and have compatible availability.
The application process protects your preparation as much as our time. If the fit is not right, we will tell you rather than fill a seat.
How it works
What to Expect in a Coaching Session
Sessions run on cases built to the difficulty of the exam, worked through and then debriefed with specific feedback.
Exam-level cases
Real Cases Written to Match the Exam
- An elderly man in residential aged care raising voluntary assisted dying
- An Aboriginal GP registrar presenting with anxiety and sleep disturbance
- An infant with vomiting and faltering growth
- Sudden vision loss in a patient with diabetes
Specific feedback
Clinical Reasoning and Exam Technique
Real corrections heard in a session:
Structure your answers slowly and pause between sentences
Write “Differentials / Red flags” at the top of your paper
Ask about scalp tenderness to exclude giant cell arteritis
In a frail patient, be precise with doses: low-dose opioids, cautious NSAIDs
The team
Meet the Coaches
Small-group coaching is led by Dr Shaun Tan personally. One-on-one sessions are led by an Australian CCE mentor from the Fellow Academy clinical team.
Dr Shaun Tan
GP, Medical Educator and Medical Examiner
Dr Shaun Tan is a practicing GP, Medical Director and an Associate Lecturer at the University of Queensland and Griffith University. He achieved top scores throughout his own clinical exams, and has since coached hundreds of candidates through the CCE and other Australian medical exams.
CCE Mentors
Fellowed Australian GPs and CCE exam coaches
Our one-on-one coaching is delivered by Fellow Academy’s CCE mentors. Each has sat the exam themselves and now coaches candidates through it, using the same cases and criteria as Dr Shaun Tan.
Voices from the cohort
Join the Candidates Who Passed With Us
Used by 1,200+ doctors across Australia, including Australian GP registrars and IMGs.
I did a mock CCE with Shaun and it was so important to my passing the CCE. I liked his CCE course a lot as it is so close to the real exam. My first day of CCE did not go so well but I did great on the second day which I think helped me pass it.
Dr Chooi Chean Chong, MDGeneral Practice Registrar, MD, AMCFellow Academy made AKT and KFP prep so much easier with clear explanations and exam-style cases. The platform is practical, focused, and perfectly aligned with RACGP expectations. Highly recommend to any GP trainee aiming for success!
