St Chirs is not a UK recognized school, it is an african school holdning classes in england, it operates in england as a business not a school so you could not transfer to a UK school.

All private schools in the world, including the U.S., operate as a business. They don't do it altruistically to fill the world with doctors, teachers, engineers, or diesel mechanics. And even State schools operate in an attempt to not lose money, but even have a little left over, just like a business. The business happens to be education. With this being said, I will have to retort with, St. Chris is indeed operating as a school, but not as a UK school.

What point are trying to make? St. Chris is recognised by the GMC for registration but is not chartered in the UK. Please stop saying St. Chris is not recognised when it is. So far all medical schools in the UK are government schools, one is trying to open up that is not.
Cheers.

lets not play with words. anything that deals with money even church is operated as a "business" you know i meant that SC is not recognized in the UK as a school it is registered there along with mufller shops and nail salons.

that is good and bad. bad for obvious reasons i.e. the gmc has no authority over anything that goes on there other than to make sure they don't confer degrees as a brittish school. that is also good b/c they can dictate the curriculum more towards its real purpose...to train you for the usmle not the plab
