What Our Students Say

"Before I took this course, I felt confused about how operating theatres work. At Global A1, we learned by doing. We set up anesthesia. We also monitored patients. The teachers explained things in a very simple way, so learning never felt difficult. In my Medanta interview, I saw that we had already covered many questions. We talked about them in our practical sessions."

"I felt a strong sense of nervousness during my first OT practical. It was my first time in a surgical environment. But the faculty guided us with care and helped us build confidence gradually. The ICU and ventilator training sessions helped me the most because they felt very real. After finishing the course, I got a job at Max Hospital. Now, I am much more confident in the OT."

"What I liked most about Global A1 was the practical exposure. We were not reading books all day; we actually learned how hospitals work. The doctors told real stories from surgeries. They also shared emergency cases. This made the classes fun and interesting. Placement support was also very helpful during interviews. Within a few weeks of course completion, I got selected at Artemis Hospital."
