Registrar Interview Simulator | Certiva
For registrar and MO post interviews

Your first panel interview
shouldn't be the real one.

Sit a full spoken interview with a three-person panel built from questions real SA panels ask. Get grilled, get a private debrief, get a scored report. Then do it again tomorrow, better.

Get your 30-day pass, R299
Up to 20 interviews over 30 days. One payment, no subscription.

A real panel, minus the consequences

No typing, no multiple choice. You speak, the panel responds, and the follow-ups come exactly where a real panel would push.

1

Pick the post, paste the advert

Registrar or MO, your discipline, and the advert if you have it. The panel reads it the way an HOD would.

2

Sit the interview, out loud

About 25 minutes. The chair opens, the clinical consultant takes your scenarios, the third member tests how you handle the hard human stuff, and the chair closes.

3

Debrief, then the report

The moment the panel leaves, a mentor talks you through how it went and takes your questions. Your written report with scores and model answers is ready when you're done.

Built from real SA panel questions

Question banks compiled from doctors who sat these interviews. MHCA paperwork, MMed plans, Batho Pele, the inebriated colleague. Not HR questions translated from American tech interviews.

Psychiatry
General Surgery
Internal Medicine
Paediatrics

Get your pass

When do I get access?

Instantly. You pay from inside your Certiva account, PayFast confirms, and the pass activates on the spot.

Why max 2 a day?

Binging six interviews in one sitting doesn't work. The improvement happens when you read your report, fix one thing, and come back tomorrow.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

ChatGPT asks generic questions. It doesn't run a timed three-voice panel, doesn't know what SA panels actually ask about the MHCA or your MMed plans, and won't score you.

Questions

Is it actually realistic?

It's a spoken conversation with three different panel voices, not a form. The panel asks follow-ups based on what you say, pushes back where a real panel would, and tailors questions to the advert you paste in. Feedback only comes afterwards, in the debrief, like it should.

Psychiatry is listed but I'm applying to a non-psych post

Pick your discipline from the list. The question banks are built for that specialty. The psychiatry bank is specifically aligned with the Cape Town registrar interview process.

Does this guarantee a post?

No. Posts are scarce and panels weigh many things. What this does is make sure the interview isn't the thing that costs you a post you were qualified for.

What if my pass doesn't activate after paying?

Refresh once. The app polls for confirmation and unlocks itself within a few seconds. If it's still locked after a minute, email us and we'll fix it immediately.
