Simulated UCAT Day Workshop: 2-part program

13 July - Filling Fast

The Simulated UCAT Day (SUD) 2-Part workshop conducted over a full day and a follow-up session.

If you are in Yrs. 10, 11, 12, or you may be older and considering sitting the UCAT in the future, then this 

program is for you. The Simulated UCAT Workshop program is ideal and often a necessary step towards 

effective and efficient preparation for the UCAT.

The workshop is primarily designed to cover fundamental techniques in navigating all five sections of the UCAT 

test and also for participants to gain a better understanding of their own level of preparedness for the test. Over 

the course of the years, the program has evolved into a more comprehensive and holistic exercise, which not 

only achieves its primary goal, but it is also exposing students to a wealth of knowledge about all other aspects 

of the journey into a medical degree. The latest update has seen the program grow into a 2-Day event as the 

sheer amount of content covered was too great to fit into a 1-day program. g

Knex Stencils - Marking a career path

It's possible that you haven't given much thought to a routine task like driving, parking, and entering a shopping 

center. How did we figure out which direction to go in the carpark? How do I remember where I parked my car? 

How did I make it safely into the shops? Completing this daily task with ease is possible due to the ‘line 

marking’ we follow, such as directional arrows, bright clear signage, bollards and pedestrian crossing that 

create secure pathways. Here at Kenex Line Marking we make this possible.

Kenex Line Marking is a long-established company ‘Marking the Difference’ in our industry. We have our own 

tailored progressional pathway that allows you to learn from some of the most skilled line markers in the 

industry providing opportunities for growth. If you’re looking for career path with a difference, check out our 

socials and website to learn more.
