About Us

NextStep UKMLA is a Manchester-based PLAB 2 and UKMLA academy focused on providing affordable, high-quality clinical exam preparation for international medical graduates.

We specialise in realistic mock exams, SimMan training, prescription writing, and hands-on practical sessions designed to help candidates build confidence and perform under real exam conditions.

Our academy is known for detailed one-to-one feedback, realistic exam environments, and supportive teaching led by Dr. Arfan. We focus not only on clinical knowledge, but also communication skills, structure, confidence, and exam technique.

Located close to the GMC PLAB 2 exam centre in Manchester, we support students from all around the world through both in-person and online learning opportunities.

At NextStep UKMLA, our goal is simple:
To make PLAB 2 preparation affordable, practical, and effective for every student.

With a commitment to quality and integrity, we foster relationships built on trust. Our team is dedicated to understanding your goals and ensuring you reach them. We believe in a simpler, clearer approach to service that prioritizes your success above all.

Our vision is to make high-quality PLAB 2 and UKMLA preparation accessible to every international medical graduate without the extremely high costs often associated with medical academies.

We aim to create a supportive learning environment where students can improve their communication, clinical confidence, and practical skills through realistic teaching and hands-on practice.

Through affordable training, detailed feedback, and continuous support, we hope to help thousands of doctors achieve their goal of working in the UK healthcare system with confidence.
