GP Academy strongly believes that the preparation process and knowledge required for each exam is very similar.

Regardless of which exam the candidate needs to prepare for, the study materials are almost identical. The AKT and KFP both cover the same topics in General Practice, only the style of question is different. For more information about specific Courses, please refer to the relevant “Course Program”.

This is a common question with no simple answer, as the preparation required depends on your prior knowledge and experience. On average, our expert team recommends that candidates spend about 4 to 5 months studying for the AKT/KFP written exams.

It is more difficult to recommend a time frame for CCE preparation, as it can vary depending on the individual. Nonetheless, our expert team recommends a lot of practice as the examiners are looking for how competent you are as a health professional. They are looking to see if you are able to make the patient feel comfortable and satisfied with the care received. Typically, examiners are looking for candidates to establish a strong rapport and provide a clear explanation to the patient before demonstrating competent medical knowledge.

GP Academy is pleased to provide candidates with an indicative invoice in advance of your registration to support grant applications for the HWSP or with organisations such as the RDN.

Of course! GP Academy enrolments are beneficial to GPs at all career stages.

Our Written Exams Courses are dynamic and the topics discussed are regularly updated. Enrolment offers candidates excellent exposure to exam materials and techniques in line with the RACGP Fellowship knowledge requirements.

Additionally, the Clinical Refresher is tailored for GPs looking to stay updated and confident in their clinical practice. Registration provides access to learning materials that are designed to ​help you stay sharp and confident in your clinical knowledge—no exams, just practical, relevant content, regularly revised to align with Australian Guidelines and standards for best practice.

The usual exam references we use are:
