THE REAL DIFFICULTY
The hardest part isn't finding information. It's knowing what matters.
Our role is to help families understand, structure and navigate these decisions.
While admissions outcomes always rest with universities, we support you in presenting your potential as clearly as possible.
Medicine, dentistry or a related route, and which universities realistically fit the profile in front of your family.
Which tests apply, when to sit them, and how each one is typically weighted according to published admissions guidance.
Subject choices and predicted grades, and how they are likely to be read by an admissions panel rather than just within school.
How different activities are commonly viewed in terms of evidence of suitability, and what may be seen as simple participation.
How four or five choices work together rather than competing against each other.
Structured reasoning under pressure, not rehearsed answers, so students can respond flexibly to a range of questions.

THE VETTA METHOD
Six stages. One continuous strategy.
Vetta is not a series of unconnected sessions. It is a single method, applied in order, from the first decision through to the final interview.
01
Assess
Align the applicants profile, motivation, and the realistic range of courses and universities.
02
Position
03
Prepare
Build the evidence, experience and academic skills the chosen route actually requires.
04
Train
Develop interview reasoning, ethical judgement and clear, calm communication.
05
Stress-test
Challenge the weak points under realistic pressure, before an admissions panel does.
06
Refine
Enter the application process with a clear, defensible strategy and nothing left to chance.
THE FOUNDER
One expert. One accountable relationship.
Vetta was founded by Dr S Farooq to give families something often missing from admissions preparation: one experienced professional who can look at the entire application rather than an isolated component..
Dr Farooq’s work with Vetta Education is completely separate from his NHS clinical duties. No NHS resources, patient information or NHS branding are used in this business.
Dr S Farooq. MBChB, NHS doctor. First-class BSc (Hons) Biochemistry. Research experience at Oxford and Cambridge. Vetta Education does not have any formal partnership or endorsement from Oxford, Cambridge or other universities

LIMITED INTAKE
Why Vetta works with a limited number of families
Every mentorship programme is personally delivered by Dr Farooq. Limiting the number of families allows Vetta to maintain the level of individual attention on which the programme is built.
Four to six families are taken on each cycle.
The application doesn't need to be navigated alone.
If you're unsure what your next step should be, start with an Applicant Diagnostic.
The Diagnostic fee is credited in full against the Mentorship Programme.
