About the Specialist Cardiology Prometric Exam (CRD5751)

The Specialist Cardiology Prometric exam is the licensing paper doctors sit for the Specialist Cardiology professional title, listed by the DHA under code CRD5751. It is the specialist tier, so the authority expects a recognised specialty qualification and the post-qualification experience set out in its classification rules before it will let you book.

CRD5751 is set across 12 blueprint areas: coronary artery disease, cardiac failure, valve disease, arrhythmias, congenital heart disease, professionalism and ethics, systemic disease, pericardial disease, infective endocarditis, peripheral vascular disease, the cardiomyopathies and cardiac pharmacology. Questions are written from 6 named reference texts, listed in the guidelines above.

Our CRD5751 bank holds 2,999 explained questions, about 20 times the length of the real sitting.

Question quality is very close to the actual exam. Wish I had found this earlier - would have saved me two months of scattered PDF revision.

I was nervous about the DHA process from Nigeria. The eligibility checker on the site told me exactly which authorities I qualified for. Enrolled the same day.

The team helped me with documentation guidance beyond just the exam. Actually landed a hospital placement thanks to their talent pool.

Was worried about my English medical vocab. The explanations are written simply - non-native speakers will feel at home.

The team on WhatsApp answered my licensing questions within an hour. That kind of support you don't see with the big test-prep sites.

Local candidate here - passed MOHAP without an exam thanks to the eligibility route they showed me. Then I enrolled anyway for CPD.

Solid. A couple of image-based questions could use better resolution but nothing that changes the answer. Passed DHA tech exam.

The explanations after each question are what sold me. It's not just A/B/C/D - you actually understand WHY the answer is right. Cleared MOH Sharjah last month.
