About this course
The Manikin Bench Test, mastered step by step.
The practical bench test is where most IDC Part 1 candidates quietly lose marks — not from lack of skill, but because no one ever showed them what examiners are really looking for, at the pace the exam demands.
This dedicated online course closes that gap. Built by candidates who've sat and passed the exam, it walks you through every stage of the bench test with structured modules, expert-built resources, and direct mentor support through to exam day.
Six modules. 33 expert resources. One clear path from setup to exam-pace confidence — plus a hands-on mentorship community where your work gets real feedback before it counts.
If the practical component is the part that worries you, this is built for exactly that.
Online · Self-paced · Mentor-led
