Quick Comparison Table

If you are trying to work out the best FRCPath preparation option for your budget, here is how the three most common routes compare on price and access model.

eLearningFRCPath UK In-Person Revision Courses UK-Based Subscription Course
Pricing model One-time payment, per course Pay per week attended Recurring subscription
FRCPath Part 1 price INR 15,340 (~£150-200), one-time From £500+ per week £80 per 3 months, or £150 per year
FRCPath Part 2 price INR 23,600 (~£220-275), one-time From £500+ per week Subscription-based; check the provider's website for current pricing
What you get Part 1: 1200+ MCQs, 50+ recorded sessions. Part 2: short cases, long cases, OSPE, viva, cytology, frozen sections. In-person revision teaching; format and content vary by provider Part 1: online MCQ practice via subscription. Part 2: subscription-based case prep (short cases, long cases, cytology, macroscopy, OSPE, viva, MDT).
Access period Lifetime, until you pass Limited to the week(s) you attend For the length of your subscription
Why Part 2 needs a different comparison FRCPath Part 2 is an entirely practical, case-based examination — short cases, long cases, OSPE, viva, cytology, and frozen sections. It does not include MCQs, so an MCQ-focused subscription course is a naturally weaker fit for this format. eLearningFRCPath's Part 2 course is built specifically around faculty-led case teaching for this reason. Some UK-based subscription course providers also offer Part 2 preparation on a subscription basis — pricing for this varies by provider and is not independently verified here, so check the provider's website directly.

Cost Over a 12-Month Preparation Timeline

Most FRCPath candidates prepare over a 6-12 month period. Because the three pricing models work differently — one-time, subscription, and per-week — the total cost over that period looks very different depending on which route you choose.

Option How it's priced Cost across a 6-12 month prep period
eLearningFRCPath One-time payment INR 15,340 (Part 1) or INR 23,600 (Part 2) — paid once, however long your preparation takes, with lifetime access until you pass
UK-Based Subscription Course Subscription £150 if paid annually, or up to £320 if paid quarterly (4 × £80) across 12 months, based on publicly listed pricing from one such provider
UK In-Person Revision Courses Per week attended £500+ for every single week attended — each additional week adds another £500+, with no fixed ceiling
The practical difference With eLearningFRCPath and a UK-based subscription course, your cost is fixed up front regardless of how long your preparation takes. With UK in-person revision courses, cost scales directly with how many weeks you attend — since most candidates prepare over 6-12 months, attending even a few separate weeks across that period can add up to several thousand pounds.

What Each Option Is Best For

There is no single "best" option for every candidate — it depends on your budget, location, and what you specifically need. Here is a fair breakdown of who each option tends to suit.

eLearningFRCPath

₹15,340 / ₹23,600

Best for candidates who want a complete, structured curriculum — MCQs and recorded sessions for Part 1, or case-based practical training for Part 2 — at a fixed one-time cost with lifetime access until they pass, from anywhere in the world.

UK In-Person Revision Courses

£500+ / week

Best for candidates who are already based in the UK, or can travel there, and who specifically want live, in-person teaching and face-to-face interaction with faculty for a short, focused block of revision.

UK-Based Subscription Course

£80-150 / subscription (Part 1)

Best for candidates who want an ongoing subscription model rather than a one-time payment. The pricing shown covers Part 1 MCQ practice; some providers also offer a Part 2 subscription, though pricing for that is not independently verified here — check the provider's website directly.

How much do UK in-person FRCPath revision courses cost?💷
UK-based in-person FRCPath revision courses generally start from £500 or more per week of attendance. Costs scale with however many weeks you attend, and typically also involve travel and accommodation if you are not already based in the UK.
What does a UK-based subscription course cost, and does it cover FRCPath Part 2?💷
Publicly listed Part 1 pricing from one such provider is £80 per 3 months or £150 per year, on a subscription basis. Some UK-based subscription course providers also offer Part 2 preparation (short cases, long cases, cytology, macroscopy, OSPE, viva, MDT), though pricing for that varies by provider and is not independently verified here — check the provider's website directly. Since Part 2 is a practical, case-based exam with no MCQs, an MCQ-focused subscription course is a weaker fit for it, which is why eLearningFRCPath's Part 2 course is built around faculty-led case teaching instead.
Which FRCPath preparation option is the cheapest overall?💷
For a one-time cost with lifetime access, eLearningFRCPath is the lowest priced option for both Part 1 (INR 15,340) and Part 2 (INR 23,600). A UK-based subscription course can be cheaper per year for Part 1, and some providers also offer a Part 2 subscription at a price we have not independently verified. UK in-person courses cost the most per week attended.
