For over 40 years, KCB has supported students through their CGIUKI studies. We understand the pressures that come with preparing for demanding, three-hour unseen examinations while balancing professional responsibilities, family commitments and everyday life.
That’s why we’ve launched our Student Wellbeing Series in partnership with accredited coach and therapist Heather Connery, helping students build resilience, confidence and healthy study habits throughout their qualification journey.
So far, the series has included:
- The Resilient Professional Governance Student: Balancing Study, Work and Life
- The Mid-Programme Challenge: Managing Workload, Confidence and Wellbeing
If you missed either session, you can watch the webinar recordings here.
Our final webinar in the series is Understanding and Managing Anxiety for CGIUKI Examinations.
What will I learn?
In this final session, Heather will bring together key themes from the previous webinars and explore how an understanding of neuroscience can help students approach examinations with greater confidence and perform at their best.
The webinar will look at:
- Why anxiety can feel heightened in the lead-up to exams
- How stress affects thinking, memory and performance
- Practical techniques to stay calm and focused under pressure
- Ways to build confidence and prepare mentally for exam day
As Heather pointed out recently, “Knowing your subject and being able to demonstrate that knowledge under exam conditions are two very different things.”
Whether you are preparing for your first Qualifying Programme examination or your final one, this webinar will provide practical strategies to help you approach the exam period with greater confidence and control.
Can a webinar really help reduce exam anxiety?
There is no quick fix for exam anxiety, and this webinar won’t magically remove the pressures of professional study. However, it can help you better understand your response to stress and provide practical tools to manage it more effectively.
The CGIUKI examinations are challenging, and many students are balancing revision alongside demanding careers and busy personal lives. It’s understandable that feelings of anxiety can arise during this period.
Heather’s approach moves beyond generic advice. Drawing on neuroscience and neuroplasticity, she will share evidence-based techniques to help students manage anxious thoughts, maintain perspective and make the most of their remaining revision time.
Why attend now?
Taking place just two weeks before the first November examination, this webinar is designed to provide timely support when students need it most.
