Pioneers in education since 1987. What began as a single English college in Adelaide has taught more than 25,000 students across nearly four decades. SACE Medical Training brings that experience to internationally trained doctors preparing for the AMC examinations and AHPRA registration - in Adelaide or online.
The Australian Medical Council assessment is the standard route for an internationally trained doctor to have their qualifications recognised in Australia. It is made up of a written examination and a clinical examination, and passing both opens the door to AHPRA registration and to working in the Australian health system.
The AMC certificate confirms your medical training meets the Australian standard, so the years you have already put in are recognised rather than repeated.
Passing both examinations is the step that makes general registration possible, and with it the ability to practise across Australia rather than under a limited or supervised arrangement.
With registration comes access to hospital posts, general practice, and specialist training pathways - and the standing that lets you choose where and how you work.
SACE has been teaching in Adelaide since 1987. That experience shapes how the medical program is run: small groups, clinicians who examine in Australia, and a schedule built around people who are already working.
You are taught by clinicians practising in the Australian system, who know how the examinations are marked and what examiners are looking for - not by a recording made somewhere else.
Structured notes, question banks and case sets written for the AMC syllabus, kept current as the format changes, and organised so you always know what to do next.
Evening and weekend sessions, live online or in Adelaide. Most of our doctors are working or on placement while they prepare, and the timetable assumes that.
A mentor who knows your stage of the journey, from documentation and English requirements through to interview preparation once you have passed.
Join at the point that fits where you are. Each program can be taken on its own, and most doctors combine two or three of them across their preparation.
Full coverage of the written examination: the syllabus, timed practice, and the reasoning behind each answer rather than the answer alone.
Station practice with real feedback on history taking, examination, counselling and the communication that decides most clinical marks.
Short, focused sessions on the areas doctors most often lose marks in, run over a weekend and open to those preparing elsewhere.
An honest overview of the pathway, the timelines and the costs - useful whether or not you go on to study with us.
A full mock under examination conditions, marked the way the AMC marks it, so you find out where you stand before it counts.
Every internationally trained doctor's journey is different, but the route to AHPRA registration follows the same three stages. We support you through each one.
Eligibility & documentation
We help you confirm eligibility and prepare a complete, verified application.
Focused preparation for both the MCQ and Clinical examinations.
Guidance from exam success through to registration and your first role.
Passing the examinations is the milestone, not the destination. What follows is registration with AHPRA and finding a post - and the two are easier when you have prepared for them in advance rather than starting once the result arrives.
Assembling the application, meeting the English and identity requirements, and understanding the difference between limited, provisional and general registration.
Where the vacancies are, how the recruitment rounds run through the year, and how to write an application that reads well to an Australian selection panel.
What the college pathways ask for, how long they take, and what you can be doing now to be a credible applicant when you get there.

The mock clinical stations were the closest thing to the real exam. I walked in knowing exactly what to expect, and I passed on my first attempt.
As an overseas doctor I felt lost in the paperwork. My coach mapped out every step and kept me on track through both exams.
The small group sessions gave me confidence to communicate under pressure. That made all the difference in my Clinical exam.
