Reviews of Common Stations by Dr Hamed Salehi
M. A.
The best academy at all.
Dr Hamed is a hardworking and amazing doctor. He teaches the course completely by himself. The class is interactive and funny. You won’t feel boredom at all.
Dr Hamed has his unique style of teaching that you will remember everything when you are in the real exam.
The staff is friendly and very helpful to everyone.
I had only 3 weeks to prepare after the course and I passed. I strongly recommend Common station to everyone.

I have not seen a more hardworking , organized and dedicated teacher than Dr Hamed! He gives his 200% to make sure that we do our best. He kept us motivated till exam, to make sure we do our best. Also he has the best team of staff working at common stations who are always there to help under any circumstances. I know I could not have done this exam without this course by Dr Hamed. Alhamdulilah, I’m the happiest today with my result! And common stations was the best choice I made!

common stations is a great place to be prepared for plab 2 . a highly professional team headed by Dr. Hamed Salehi who I have never seen a dedicated and brilliant teacher like him. he just like a machine , dedicated to teaching and loves what he does . remembers every single details and gives great feedback . the material contains everything the student needs to pass. no matter how many stations are coming these days.
the mocks in common stations are very valuable. some times it seemed to me that Dr. Hamed are putting a high pressure on us .but this pressure is what I needed to prepare well and pass.
thank you Dr Hamed
thank you common stations

No words can do justice to the kind of dedication you get from Common Stations teaching. Dr Hamed Salehi is the best mentor you would ever get in your life. The amount of effort he puts in compares none. He’ ll tell you anything and everything to ace this exam and all you have to do is practice. He’ll be there with you from start till the end of this Plab 2 journey.
Dr Elmira is the queen of examinations. She is makes it so easy and effortless for you when it comes to examination part. Her words echo in your head when you are taking the exam.

Dr Hamed is a great teacher. He teaches the best approach of history taking which is a lesson for life for the junior physicians. He is also very hardworking, energetic and a great influencer. He bears the power of positivity and spreads it out to his students. I think this is the prime cause of why his students like him a lot.
However, every academy has some drawbacks so there is no perfect academy. But, if you want an academy which will at least serve you what they promise, then you can choose Common Stations.

I address to all those who are still deciding on which academy for PLAB 2. STOP THINKING. Common stations run by Dr Hamed himself is THE PLACE to be. He is a gem of a person and an excellent teacher. He is so dedicated and hardworking that he makes sure nothing is missed in your preparations. I followed his advice word by word and by the Grace of God i cleared the exam in my 1st attempt with only 2 weeks after the course. He puts his heart and soul in those 15 days which makes his course priceless.

Dr. Hamed is an excellent teacher who himself teaches the course from morning to evening and is always full of energy (he drinks a lot of coffee). The best thing about his course is that he covers all possible scenarios and has the answer to all concerns a patient might have, even non-medical ones. His notes follow the same pattern as his lectures. Although they are very detailed, I found them easy enough to follow. Dr. Elmira teaches clinical methods. She is a great teacher and dresses well too. I was recommended Common Stations Academy by my seniors and I will recommend it to all my friends and my juniors.
K. F.
Great academy, has everything from A to Z to clear the test. Dr. Hamed is extremely dedicated to his students, and tries his level best to guide everyone till they pass the exam. Highly Recommended
T. H.
Dr Hamed is such a hard working and dedicated person that his hardwork and positive thinking is transmitted towards his students and make them do a hard try and believe to pass this exam. Even he doesn't miss to remind the pinpoint mistakes that shouldn't be done in the exam by telling different stories. Learning from him was fun.

When you think of PLAB2, Common Stations automatically pops up in your mind. The 15-day course including the examination sessions is more than enough to make you sail through the exam. Never have I seen so much dedication from a man! Dr Hamed takes more efforts for our exam than we do! The high-quality and updated notes, and of course, practice is key to success. What I really loved and found unique to CS is the revision workshop where Dr Elmira herself practises stations with you to boost your confidence and correct your mistakes. The email correspondence from the management is also very prompt. The academy literally becomes your second home when you practise there. Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira will personally drop by and oversee your practice sessions from time to time after the course and make sure you’re not going off-track. Kheili mamnoon, you two! ❤️
U. H.
One of the best decisions of my Plab journey was to attend Dr Hamed’s academy. I’m sooo thankful to him. He is a true mentor. All the time in academy I felt like I’m conversing with my colleague not a teacher,he was so friendly & helpful. Dr. Hamed took all the classes personally, knew every one of us by names, got feedback from all of us. Mock was really good,they gave us honest feedbacks & guidelines how to improve ourselves. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Commonstations academy. It is the best.
I. S.
Dr Hamed is amazing. He gets you ready for the exam and explains all facets of it. Gives you the structure and attitude to face this osce exam. Was always there for any explanation or question. Was very motivating and kept up with even when we finished the course and motivated us and calmed peoples nerves with very thoughtful messages before the exam. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to do plab2. I am sure if I went in without getting help from Dr Hamed that I would have failed. Give him a try you won't regret and best of luck to anyone doing plab 2 exam. Thanks so much Dr Hamed for all your hard work and dedication.

Dr Hamid is an intelligent doctor who will impress you by his commitment and his passion to teaching. His academy, Common Station Academy, is an example of well equipped institute, in which PLAB 2 candidate will find the right instruments and tools that exactly needed . Not only that but the friendly atmosphere in his class will set your mind on an excellent state that enable you to pick up and retain the the core of the class. A true example of that, when I booked my PLAB 2 exam I had only around 9 days to study, but guess what I cleared the exam because the classes atmosphere were perfect. Its all about Dr Hamed personality, commitmen, experience, along with Common Station Academy high standard setting.
A. F.
Common stations academy run by Dr Hamed Salehi and his team is the place you should choose if you want to have proper guidance about PLAB 2 exam. The 15-day course is taught by Dr Hamed himself, with the exception of examination classes which are taught by Dr Elmira. Dr hamed is the most hardworking teacher I have ever come across. Dr Elmira is a sweetheart as a person and an extremely talented doctor.
The best thing about this academy is that Dr hamed is personally invested in his student's success. Making sure they understand and can implement what is taught by him, most importantly, making sure you are fully prepared to pass PLAB 2 in first attempt and with flying colours.
All the love! 😊
A. G.
Dr. Hamed is undoubtedly the best teacher you would come across in life. The course is well structured and after attending the course and the material you get you will be able to pass plab 2 easily. Dr. Hamed puts a lot of effort in teaching his students and collecting all the material required for the exam. I highly recommend Common stations to everyone!!!
a. G.
Commonstations is an excellent academy and Dr.Hamed single handedly seems to runs the show. He is veryy organized with his teaching method and interactive so even though the classes are long, I rarely ever felt mentally saturated.
The tips and tricks which he ingrained in us during the academy sessions were what helped me sail through the examination.
However, if I were to point out any drawback, it would be the examination classes (2 of them) conducted by an ex-Plabber which I felt were not as great as the history taking classes conducted by Dr.Hamed himself.
However, all in all, definitely something that worked wonders for me and the best part is his teaching did not just help me in clearing Plab 2, but I felt it made me a better clinician.
Will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for PLAB 2 coaching👍
R. B.
In my opinion this is the best and only academy worth attending to clear the PLAB exam in the first attempt. Both Dr Hamid and his team are extremely hard working and supportive at every step of this journey. I did not have much time between my course and the exam so I was very stresses that f I would not be able to clear the exam. However Dr Hamid’s constant motivation and excellent interactive method of teaching came to my rescue. Even some of the stations I didn’t get time to self read I was able to manage in the exam only due to his unique style of teaching. After long hours of teaching Dr Hamid was always available to each of the students to clarify their doubts and difficulties. I would definitely recommend Common stations to everyone aspiring to clear PLAB.
M. H.
Dr. Hamed is the best teacher I have ever seen in my life. He along with his team work really hard to make sure everything goes well for everyone. I passed Plab2 in first attempt and really appreciate the inspiration and support from common stations. Highly recommended.......and wishes all the best for Dr Hamed and his team.
E. W.
Common Stations was the best medical teaching experience I have had. I had been out of practice for a number of years, so it was particularly important that I attended a good academy. Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira and their team were beyond my highest expectations. I passed PLAB 2 comfortably. Dr Hamed keeps you interested and motivated, because of his infectious enthusiasm, energy and ability to teach medicine. On an interpersonal level, I can only speak highly of Dr Hamed and his team.
a. g.
Dr Hamed is one of the most hard working teachers I have seen so far and his material for plab2 helps u clear the exam easily. I would recommend his academy to anyone aspiring to give the exam, all you need to do is follow his instructions and have faith in him.
E. M.
Passed PLAB 2 from the first attempt!
Some may not like Dr Hamed's way of running class. But, you can think about him good or bad, but this way of teaching doesn't let you lose your attention or fall asleep. Yes, you have to stay in academy for 12 hours, and you have to work hard. But result is here - people pass their exam even after failed attempts. Personally, I enjoyed my time spent in this academy. Doctor Hamed is supporting you whenever you need it. Just listen to him, prepare to have some sense of humour, and you will be fine!
S. M.
Dr Hamed method of teaching is exam centered and it worked well for me since I had a strict time line (few days only). He is dedicated to ensure all of his students excel! Dr Elmira thanks for the pro tips just before exam day.
S. A. C.
A dedicated teacher and One of a kind person, he is very generous and doesn't bother about profits and business. Dr. Hamid is all about quality teaching. Not to forget Dr. Elmira, she is another fantastic teacher. Honestly, they don't treat you like students, they treat you like colleagues and friends, and their doors are always open for everyone. Its not really an academy, its a place to overcome your plab exam hurdles.
h. k.
Dr Hamed is one of the most amazing teachers I have ever met. He's doing his best and even more to make sure that everyone will get the knowledge needed to pass this exam. You can get all the support you need from him and Common Stations team.

Common stations course is a very well structured program with an experienced and well educated team. Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira are great people and excellent teachers. The course will help you attain the skills and knowledge required and will assist you in enhancing your interpersonal skills. Dr. Hamed is a very hard working person who is fully dedicated to provide you with the best learning experience. He makes sure every person is attentive and helps each person in improving their weaker aspects. The classes are very enjoyable and informative. I definitely recommend it and I am sure you will learn a lot from it.

Dr Hamed is such a hard working and dedicated person that his hardwork and positive thinking is transmitted towards his students and make them do a hard try and believe to pass this exam. Even he doesn't miss to remind the pinpoint …

Common Stations is THE best academy for PLAB 2 preparation. Dr Hamed is the most hardworking and dedicated teacher and i haven’t come across someone who’s so passionate about what he does and who never gets tired. He’ll make sure his students are very well prepared and confident when they enter the exam venue. What i’ve learnt from him, i utilise that in my daily life as a doctor and i realize how much i was lacking before! Thankyou Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira for being so out-of-the-way kind and helpful always, for always being only a message away whenever i needed your help. You’re always in my prayers.
R. A.
I loved every bit of my experience at CS. In a month I managed to get the skills and the tools I needed to pass the Plab 2 exam. What impressed me the most is how much Dr Hamed cares for each of his students and knows everyone by name and addresses them as such. He is passionate about helping people achieve their dreams. I recommend Common Stations to anyone who is preparing for their Plab 2 exam
R. A.
Dr.Hamed is one of the best teachers that I have ever meet. His commitment and energy are unique.he always believe in us and encourage us despite our different situations.
I have a little girl and I couldn’t attend all the classes and I really regret this because I have to double my efforts in studying the subjects that I missed in the class .
I can’t say enough words about all the efforts of all Common Stations team .
Thank you Common Stations and special thanks to the great teacher Dr.Hamed
G. E.
Dr Hamed is one of the most dedicated teachers I know, he encouraged me throughout my period of study because I had some challenges during my exam period.
He’s equally very kind as well. Ooh how can I forget Dr Elmira she is an amazing support system too. Thanks to their whole team. They will help you not just for the exam but in your medical journey in the Uk. I can’t be quick to ever forget common stations. Thanks once again
I. K. Z.
I have to say this, common stations is the best academy for PLAB 2. You have the most amazing, diligent, hardworking and kind tutor for this exam. He goes the extra mile and takes all 15 days classes by himself. Guides you at every point now and then. Dr Elmirah, with out shadow of any doubt has outstanding teaching skills who covers the examination part of the course. You will enjoy their classes.
The notes this academy provides have been prepared with great effort & new cases added up time to time to help students be prepared for all scenarios. Of course, you have to work hard yourself to learn the course and work on your skills after Dr Hamed has taught you all about it take to pass this exam. More power to you Hamed JAAN & Elmirah JAAN *Gratitude*
s. k.
Dr. Hamed is the most dedicated teacher and guide. His classes were very effective and 15 day duration is enough to understand how the exam works. He includes students in his teaching to keep the sessions interactive and also as a means of practice for us. A big thank you to Dr. Hamed and his entire team for helping all of us take a step ahead in our careers.

I took Dr hamed course from 15th April 2019 - 30april 2019...and I have to say Dr hamed is the most professional, deligent and caring teachers I've ever come across, his coaching classes were recommended to me by a friend, who had taken the same and believe me it's the best choice I made! ... Dr hamed teaching pattern can not only be used in the prep for plab part 2 but can also be used in your day to day life while you interact with patients, his notes are so comprehensive that you pretty much prepared for anything before your exam. More importantly I feel on the day of my plab exam I was better prepared than anyone else from any of the other academies as well and Dr hameds teaching approach helped me score almost 3-4 in the interpersonal and history taking subdivions in almost every station which helped me clear the exam comfortably! .... All in all if someone needed a recommendation for a plab 2 coaching academy, look no further... Dr hameds common stations is the place to go to and he is the teacher you need to improve yourself as a doctor as well as pass in plab 2.
N. H.
If you want to success from 1St attempt in plab 2 - there is only one way- dr Hamed and common station. He is a truly amazing doctor - very dedicated . He care about us and shared with us all his precious knowledge about the exam . He tought us all exam technique we needed to pass .All my class mates passed too from there first attempts. I cannot recommend him more. God bless you Dr Hamed and God bless all his amazing team who were always there to help us
R. H.
Dr Hamed is an excellent teacher. Unlike what people usually do he actually teaches all the materials by himself and to be honest i haven’t seen any teacher with such dedication to his students. Him and Dr Elmira will make sure you get all the information you need for the exam and will literally spoon-feed you the things. But the rest is on you.
D. A.
I can't believe it's been almost a year since I was choosing an academy for plab 2, and having chosen common stations was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I still boast about the academy and the entire team to friends about to take plab 2, because I was in a place where I needed guidance around this time last year and I know how it feels to be lost and want the best place to be prepared to tackle this tricky but doable exam (of course with hard work and wise preparation). Even though in the end it's your own hard work and extensive amount of practice that will get you through this difficult exam, I can't stress enough on how much Dr. Hamed's efforts and dedication helped to make this exam less intimidating.
I absolutely had an unforgettable experience at common stations,. Besides Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira, I've met some amazing people and I have beautiful memories from that period. I definitely miss those fun and enjoyable, but very informative and helpful classes.
Dr. Elmira, besides being a great teacher for combined examinations, really helped encourage me during times where I doubted myself and my ability to pass.
Even though the classes were very long, I didn't even feel the time because you can't even get bored or drift off since the classes are so interactive. I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but I feel like I learned more from Dr. Hamed than I did from any teacher I've had in medical school. What I learned from Dr. Hamed has definitely benefited me in more ways than just passing plab 2, and I still look back at the notes for guidance. Dr. Hamed is so passionate about teaching, that to him this is more than just a job. He thrives on the success of his students, and he will do everything possible to make this exam as easy as possible, of course keep in mind that he will give you the base but you have to do the rest of the work.
Remember to study and practice a lot (most importantly) and focus on what they're looking for in each station. Most important things are interpersonal skills and confidence, which all improve with practice, and you have to know the core of each station (have a map in your mind).
Besides helping me in passing plab 2, Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira helped me even after that with other matters and they have always been supportive from the moment I decided to join the academy.
s. y.
Dr Hamid is an amazing teacher and a wonderful human being. His devotion and
love for his work is incredible. He gives you everything to get through the exam. He prepares you for the worst. I would highly recommend common stations for Plab2 preparation.
Good luck!
P. H.
Dr.Hamed is one of the best medical teachers I’ve ever had. He teaches brilliantly and has always been a great support. Dr.Elmira is the queen of physical examination and is an exceptional teacher as well. She helps address issues that’s lots of candidates have difficulty facing which is dealing with tough stations such as breaking bad news or ethical/medical errors ones.
They both teach essential knowledge that’s not only useful for the exam but for your future medical career.
The entire common stations team works day and night to ensure we have all the materials so we can pass PLAB 2 and I’m beyond grateful for them.
The common stations academy isn’t perfect, they do have their flaws. However their dedication to help students and Dr.Hamed’s passion for teaching will surely help them reach perfection one day.
I’d definitely recommend this place if you want the education and materials needed to pass this exam.
J. M.
Dr Hamed is exceptionally dedicated and sincere teacher, he makes you to work hard and know everything about Plab 2. Being a mother this exam have been hardest but all the hard work learnt from common stations made me PASS in first attempt ALHAMDULILAH. Definitely, going to CS was the best decision.
L. X.
The late classes, tremendous pressure transferred unto us during those early months when the format changed.....it was craaaaazy!!!
But......it bonded us as a batch.....it was incredible how we looked out for each other.....
I only attended Dr Hamed's classes, & didn't do the mocks.
He is without a doubt an amazing teacher.... One of the greatest I've met!!! I still hear him shout "PAUSE!!!" when I try to get ahead of a patient.....2 good years later!🤣🤣🤣🤣.
& Dr Elmira? She is so lovely, it's surreal....
Nothing really prepares you for your experiences here as a foreign trained graduate, but I would definitely recommend Common stations.... esp now that I hear the classes are better structured!👍🏽👏🏽
O. A.
Dr Hamed is one of the best teachers I have ever met. He is dedicated, hard working and somehow balances that with a very good sense of humor. Dr Elmira makes examination as understandable as it could possibly be; her words will keep ringing in your head on the exam day and even after. The mock examiners and other staff members at Commonstations are always quick to help. CommonStations is the place to be!!!
S. N.
I'm extremely happy that I have passed Plab 2!! It was not at all an easy journey for me..
I cant thank enough Dr. HAMED and Dr. ELMIRA for your sincere efforts to make sure I pass this exam. As an average student with lots of communication difficulties and performance anxiety,, if they could make me pass, I'm sure that any body can crack this exam if you have the right mentors like them..!!!
For me, this exam is all about right guidance, updated knowledge about the changes in the exam scenarios, Lots and Lots of PRACTICE, BE comfortable with YOURSELF, be a SAFE and CONFIDENT doctor... as most of you already know...
When it comes to right guidance I can't think of anyone who is more able than Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira.( I went to another 'famous' academy in my first attempt and I know how people are misdirected by social media ads and fake comments..) Throught the course, I could really feel the efforts made by Dr.Hamed to teach not only the things needed for Plab exam but also the 'Life skills' needed to survive in the NHS..
He is one of the finest teachers I have ever met. His funny, engaging and dedicated way of teaching is very unique and because of that things will be imprinted in our minds very easily..
Updated knowledge abt the exam is another very important factor. Each of us got a call from Common Stations after our respective exam dates asking about the changes in the scenarios and discussing about the new stations. This explains how closely they are looking for the updates to help the next batch students..!!
Now the final things which are in ur hand,,
Practice as much as you can which makes u comfortable with yourselves.. With the right knowledge and practice u will become confident day by day.. and finally,, dont worry Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira will make each of you safe doctors by the end of their course !!
All the best... 😊
R. K.
Common stations in a one stop solution for Plab2! I had a great time taking the course here and made amazing friends too. Dr. Hamed is a dedicated teacher and keeps himself well updated about the changing exam scenarios, needless to say he and his team put their best effort for the success of all candidates.
Y. O.
Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira were great and highly dedicated teachers who motivated us throughout the course. They prepared us not only for the PLAB 2 exam, but for working in the NHS as a whole. Made it all thanks to the Common Stations team.
t. s.
Best class for plab 2!
I have attended the class in January and cleared my plab 2 in march.
Dr. Hamed is the best teacher, and I have never seen anyone who's so dedicated and punctual.He is the best you can have for plab 2!!
Dr. Elmira completes him, she teaches you the basics of the examination in detail and helps you with your smallest query.
I am grateful to be a part of this academy.
Thank you for everything CS:)
U. P.
To have been under the teacher of Dr Hamed was an experience of adventure and mystery. What he'd bring to the class each day would be unpredictably challenging yet satisfying coz you get to learn something new everyday! His passion is second to none and the way he takes efforts to remember each one and make the class lively (at the expense of some good soul of course!). Thank God for teachers with his devotion and commitment to bring the best to the table. Moreso the friendly staff and Mehrdard who always ensured our well being during the stressful hours!
God bless you all!
M.
Dr. Hamed is one the most brilliant teachers I've ever come across. He puts in day and night to make sure the course and his students remain updated. Stays till everyone has left and ensures no question goes unanswered. Everyone at common stations is very nice and friendly. The academy stays open till late and you can go and practice anytime. Dr. Elmirah who teaches examinations, is a pure joy to be around. She makes examinations look so easy. She exudes confidence and that confidence is contagious.
Choosing Common Stations was the best thing I could have done. Highly recommended!! 5/5

This is one amazing acadmey to prepare you not only for Plab but groom you as a doctor - as a doctor to work in the UK which I’m sure no other academy can do. I know many people would have their own opinions and while I respect their opinions, it’s my request to please refrain yourself keeping solid negative thoughts about Dr Hamed and his team based on other people reviews, there’s an agenda behind that. I know people who passed their Plab 1 with me are now teaching in Aspire academy. At the end it’s ‘Your career, Your decision’. My advice is to be tactful, there are many individuals as well offering plab 2 course for cheap on whatsapp groups/Facebook no doubt many people are merely after your money, in the end it’s the effort you have to put in and they would leave you nowhere after grabbing your money, but Dr. Hamed never does that, he’s a man of caliber! Also, I can’t stop myself telling people the truth that people have actually stole Dr. Hamed’s material and made their notes and opened up an academy. Please be careful.
Dr. Hamed is a legend, May he live long (Amin), Dr. Elmira is one brilliant lady, May she live long (Amin). These guys have gone out of their ways to made me pass this exam. I have personal experience of swamy, where they charged me for mocks (extra mocks) but Dr. Hamed never charged me. This amazing man is not after money for sure. He is a teacher worthy of utmost respect. I truly love him as a teacher who you keep searching for long & you merely get! I hope my words can impress your hearts and clear the fog from your eyes so you can see and feel what Dr. Hamed really is. Hope you can make a right decision for yourselves. Thank you for reading :). All the best
& Thank you very much Dr. Hamed & Dr. Elmira!
S. P.
I went to the academy in december 2018. Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira are 2 of the best teachers I've ever had. Dr. Hamed is dedicated energetic passionate and has a unique style of teaching which I've rarely come across before but is brilliant cuz everything he says sticks in ur head. Alright everyone has their own free will, I would recommend everyone to go to common stations. It gives u what u need and that is brilliant guidance about Plab2, a place to practice and also have 2 mock exams. Everything is in place for u to excel. Dr. Hamed does his best and the rest as he says in his class is upto u.. work as hard as he says u should and u will clear the exam for sure. Incase anyone reads this and needs more info or has any questions feel free to ask.

Dr. Hamed's common stations happens to be a close to ideal academy. Like all academies it has its pros and cons however, the pros outweigh the cons. Dr. Hamed happens to be an amazing teacher, with astute clinical acumen. His lecture notes are worth reading over and over and his clinical clerkship is the best i've had in my 14 year medical career. On the downside, there isn't much consideration for students with limited time from academy to exams, thus extra pressure. By and large, I'd recommend common stations over again.
m. k.
If you are not a residence of UK or USA, the classroom condition will not be a big problem specially when you will have 24 hour access to other rooms where you can study and practice mannikins even when the course finishes untill the exam. The entire team is very dedicated and undoubtedly Dr.Hamed and Dr. Elmira are the most dedicated and knowledgeable teachers I have ever seen. I can't recollect a single incidence when Dr.Hamed or any other staff member behaved rudely. In fact, I have learned how important is interpersonal skills for passing PLAB2 from Common Station only. I passed PLAB2 when it's really a tough time as new stations are coming up everyday but Dr. Hamed keeps updating the notes so you won't go for xam without knowing about it. Yes, I do agree that it is largely dependent on the candidate herself/himself when it comes passing/failing, irrespective of the academy but I am thankful to Allah that I decided to go to the right academy where I got proper guidance and a big bunch of big hearted friends.

"Keep It Short and Simple"
That's what I'll try and do.. if you're in a dilemma which academy to join, search no more..
Dr Hamed and his passion and dedication for teaching ( and coffee dependence ;) ) , covering every topic in sheer details, rushing in to give you new stations notes, coming up with new ways to teach you.. can't say enough!!
Dr Elmira, your examination skills and demonstrations, not to mention the simulations, to notch!!
Each and every members of staff as well as the very best teachers helped me secure Plab2 exam in the first attempt!!
Can't thank you guys enough!!
Lots of love and Respect 🇳🇵 💪😎👍

I had a wonderful experience at the academy. Dr Hamed is an excellent educator and teachers like him are not easy to find. No doubt the course is intense and long hours but it was worth every minute. I owe my PLAB 2 success to the whole common stations team. Thank you Dr Hamed and Common Stations!

I attended here and do not regret it for one second. Dr Hamed shows passion and compassion from day one. Firstly, just the fact that he gets to know all of our 80+ names within a couple of days shows u his dedication to this academy.
Dr Hamed will cover everything that's needed for this exam. You will learn from A to Z. For many of us, especially those with long career gaps, this is a blessing! The most important thing about this exam is to practice, and Dr Hamed will stress on it a lot. Dr Elmira teaches the Examinations, and her classes are brilliant, she is clear and informative, and she has a womderful way of organizing the steps and teaching them.
After finishing this course, I felt much much more confident in my own skills and approach to patients. Dr Hamed will teach you not only for this exam, but for all your future clinical experiences.
I highly recommend this academy. Make sure that you give yourself at least 3-4 weeks after the end of the academy until you give your exam. As Dr Hamed says, practice practice practice. And that is very true, so give urself the time to practice everything u learn at the academy for those weeks until your exam. Many (although not all) students who fail is because they booked their exam just three of four days after the end of the academy course. Do not make that mistake and follow Dr Hameds guidance and instructions. After that, it is all upon you to practice and prepare well for the exam. Dr Hamed provides u the tools and the platform to excel, after that, it is down to you to make most of it and pass this exam.
Finally, regardless of whichever academy you attend, if you don't practice, you will not pass. You will find ppl who have lots of experience or just finished internship and so they don't need that much time to practice, while others have long gaps or are consultants in subspecialties and thus need more practice. I've seen and met all such examples of people who have passed.
So, attend the academy, focus, practice, and pass.
Finally, you will make friends for life at the academy. And there's always so many people you could practice with as the class size is large. Make most use of it, the more different kinds of people you practice with, the more you will leave your comfort zone, and the better you will get.
Best wishes!

Common Stations is an academy that offers PLAB 2 courses in London. I heard about it from people that I know and others that I didn't.
What went well was the teaching provided by Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira. They are dedicated teachers and would move mountains to help students in their studying and exams.
Personally, I felt like being in one to one course, even though we were more than 85 students. Moreover, they have a team of doctors who help students in their mock exams. Finally, there are administrative assistants who offer logistic support for teachers and students around the clock.
What went no so well was the classroom which was tiny compared to the number of attendees.
I succeeded in the exam although I only had 13 days after the 15-days course. My advice for the attendants is to read the material that Common Stations send before the course and to participate in the course during the classes and to have 4 weeks to study and practice after the course.
I recommend this academy for doctors who are planning to sit PLAB 2 exam.
A. S.
"Commonstations" is a like a huge family that I am happy to be a part of and has gifted me some friends for life as well .
Dr Hamed is an excellent teacher, hardworking, friendly and so passionate about teaching that he takes the whole course himself day in and day out such that every word he teaches will ring in your head throughout your exam prep and even after, when you see real patients. Dr Elmira is the next wonderful teacher covering examinations to the point they are crystal clear.
The 15 day course is hectic, gruelling but let me tell you ,all that's worth it when you reach your goal. I wouldnt say that everyone will be fortunate to succeed in their first attempt because sometimes it depends on a lot of things...but I'll recommend commonstations to anyone who wish to be trained by the best so that you know you have done your part.
m. h.
I heard about Common Stations from a trainee of my husband who is a consultant physician in acute medicine. He spoke very highly of the course and kept on emphasising on one fact, that unlike other courses, it is delivered fully by Dr. Hamed himself.
Dr. Hamed has no pretensions. He was very upfront about how gruelling the 14 days will be and he has a very strict sets of rules. It may feel pretty strong but by day two I fully realised how important those things were. 14 days to cram in so much of information is no time at all and he managed to do that very successfully only because that he follows a time tested strict regimen. He is very knowledgeable and delivers his talk with a passion and enthusiasm that is quite uncommon.
He covers all the essential areas of the PLAB exam and virtually transforms your whole approach to practice that is suitable for NHS. He is constantly updating his materials to suite the exam.
He has a dedicated team of staff who works tirelessly and very professionally.
The SimMan and the Mock exams are excellent for the preparation.
Only thing that I would criticise is that the lecture room is quite small for such a big group and can become quite uncomfortable for such long days.
This is definitely an area for improvement which can make the whole experience 100%
I will have no hesitation in recommending the course.
A. Z.
I have probably never met a more hardworking man in my life than Dr Hamed. His dedication to and passion for teaching is something worth mentioning. Of course an academy will only guide you, it's upto you to work hard according to that guidance and prepate yourself in the best way possible. No academy can guarantee success, nonetheless, I would definitely reocommend CS to anyone as they will provide what they promise.
b. f.
There is a lot to be said about Dr Hamed and Common Stations. But everyone who attended his PLAB2 preparation course would agree that he does his absolute best to make sure that we pass. And this is good enough to make us respect and love him and recommend Common Stations to our colleague doctors who are planning to do PLAB2 exam.
K. A.
Can't thank my friends Friday and Chioma enough for their advice in the choice of academy I needed to attend. They insisted that Commonstation remained the only valid academy for not just passing plab2 alone, but also for getting ready for the NHS experience needed to work in the UK. I had no regrets guys, Dr Hamed is a seasoned teacher, as well as Dr Elmira...the beautiful one!!
R. A.
This academy is more than just a 15 day of heavy learning sessions, it’s more like an adventure starting with meeting one of the greatest mentor you will ever meet Dr Hamed, Dr Hamed not only teaches you how to pass the PLAB 2 exam, he teaches you how to start your job and live in the UK. I still remember his words in the very 1st day, when he said he will cut down the factor of the luck in your exam day! Which was the case.
S. N.
Common stations prepared me very well for my exams. I took plab 2 barely a week after I completed my course and I passed because I had been well equipped. Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira give of themselves completely, they answer any question and are very committed. I have recommended the academy to four of my friends and they all passed.
M. W. A. H.
Dr. Hamed is one of the best teachers around, hands down. His notes and lectures not only will make sure your preparation for the plab goes smooth but it will also make you a better doctor. He will prepare you for known and unknown scenarios and stations both. Also he is kind enough to answer all your questions after class and will make sure everything is done even if he has to stay for 12+hours to go through it all.
During the course, you will feel like it is a torture but trust in him. He knows what he is doing. Moreover, anyone who has gone through the other academy notes will understand how much better his notes and classes are compared to the competitors. Miles ahead in terms of both quality and care. Hands down, the 15 days will make you a better doctor for the exam and real life, overall!
f. a.
Common Stations has a lot of positives going on in its favor. Dr. Hamed himself teaches all the stations, except the examinations and procedures, and he's a strict but wonderful teacher. Also the notes are quite exhaustive.
Some points I'll mention here so you know what to expect:
1. You'll have to attend all the classss and mocks. So be prepared to take 10-12 hour long classes for 2 weeks at a stretch. Don't expect that any excuses for being absent will be entertained easily, as they should not be.
2. It is difficult to concentrate for such a long time, but it'll help if you learn to do so as the exam will require similar mental stamina, only with added pressure.
3. They have only one one-hour simman class for 2 ppl. These days simmans are not coming up in exams that often. Still you'll have to resort to watching youtube videos mostly for these stations
4. Not all mannequins and instruments are in top notch condition, but they'll do. More important is that you've enough practise with them.
5. Since the notes are very elaborate, one should prepare their own summarized and curtailed versions from them. That way you can also avoid sounding scripted.
6. Better not to take the accomodation suggested by Common Stations. You can find better places in Barking in similar price range.
Lastly, I want to say many many thanks to Dr Hamed and his team for guiding me through this tricky exam. I am sure that anyone taking PLAB 2 will find them just as helpful, as long as they themselves keep working hard, follow Dr. Hamed's advice and try and make use of the materials they way it suits them
P. S. M.
I have passed PLAB 2 in first attempt and It was possible only because of Dr Hamed's teaching, dedication, hard work and contribution to his students. Greatly thankful to him and Common stations. The best decision I have ever taken in my life is to join this centre for PLAB 2. Long live Common stations n Dr Hamed, my best wishes to him.
K. A.
I passed my PLAB 2 in 1st attempt.Got through 16 out of 18 stations.This won't be possible without the tremendous guidence given by Dr.Hamed.Dr.Hamed is a great teacher.His commitment and dedication in teaching is amazing.He is one of the best teachers i've ever met in my life. Also he has a very good staff working at common stations who are always there to help under any circumstances. I would highly recommend Common Stations academy for anyone who is preparing for PLAB2.
S. S.
I do recommend Common Stations Academy for those who wish to pass through the tough rapidly changing PLAB2. Dr Hamed is an ironic person, loves to teach, has a unique approach and definitely knows every thing about the exam and most importantly he keeps you updated until the night of the exam. My review is based on my recent experience as I attended the course in July 2018 (WW batch) and I passed the exam on September. Thanks Hamed and thanks Common Stations.
F. S.
There is no question about how dedicated, honest and an amazingggg teacher Dr. Hamed is! He goes out of his way to make sure that he delivers the best knowledge in the easiest way to all his students. I would have never passed my exam without this course. This academy is the best option for a successful carer in the UK. And there is no better teacher for PLAB2 than Dr. Hamed.
Thank you sooo much to the whole common stations team!
S. S.
Dr Hamed is the best teacher I have ever known! He keeps us alive and awake in the class and makes sure everyone learns and gets the point, rather than just distributing the peinted notes. His experience and teaching skills are immense. His voice in your head will remind you of the answers in case you haven't revised that particular station. Bottom line- Dr Hamed and the support from the entire Common station team is what you need to clear plab 2.
A. Y.
I passed from my first attempt!
I would like to thank you Dr Hamid for being such a great and dedicated teacher. Your course has the advantage of not only making us familiar with the exam but giving us the tools to handle any new stations or situations that we might encounter.
Thank you for all the effort you have put into each and every one of us.
S. A.
You will never meet a more dedicated and passionate teacher like Dr. Hamed.
Common stations doesn't just prepare you for Plab 2, it prepares you for your work and practice in the UK.
Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira kept reassuring all of us every step of the way, all through till the morning of our exams. You will have access to them (phone and personally) all the time.
You don't even have to prepare before you attend the academy, just ensure you have adequate time between academy and your exam, attend all classes, DO EVERYTHING Drs. Hamed and Elmira tell you to do and PRACTICE hard.
The high success rate at Common stations speaks volumes and I will recommend it for everyone!
M. S.
Dr. Hamed and the Common Stations staff is not just a team, it's a family. They are true to their word of helping you through thick and thin throughout your PLAB journey. Dr. Hamed is a truly inspirational teacher and his team are gems. It's rare to find people that are so dedicated and passionate about what they do, and it reflects in their students' performance and result. I am glad I chose them and would recommend anyone looking for help in PLAB 2 to go for Common Stations. You won't regret it!
D. F. K.
Dr. Hamed is the most dedicated teacher I have ever seen in my entire life! Though we didn't get any class with Dr. Elmirah but still the course was fabulous! Everyone at the academy was very friendly and helpful! I will recommened CS to everyone without any second thought!😊
C. N.
Dr Hamed is one of the best teachers I've had. He and his team are genuine and truly committed to our success. Though in the end, all preparation academies may help you succeed, this one lets you achieve this in a positive, nurturing environment. Strongly recommended.
A. K.
The amount of time and effort put into our passing of PLAB 2 by not only Dr Hamed but by his entire team is the likes of something I've never seen before. When you arrive in Barking, it's the most underwhelming place, but if you stick around, you're going to pass PLAB 2. That's their guarantee and I can safely say that it most definitely is possible. Believe in the encouragement and training he gives you, don't ever skip your mocks, and you can most definitely do it in 2 weeks after the course ends. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise and have faith in Dr Hamed.
A. N.
If you are looking for a place which can give you the required material with latest stations , mock sessions, best advice on how to prepare and on common mistakes that we do in the PLAB 2 exam then Common Stations is the place to be! I was very confused initially on which academy to go for but I definitely made the right choice. Thank you to Dr Hamed and team for all their efforts.
s. c.
Dr Hameed is an excellent teacher. He and his whole team genuinely care for his students. The course itself is very well designed. Regarding Plab 2 one can follow their guidance blindly.
B. A.
This is my totally honest review..
Common station is an amazing place to study plab 2 ... Dr. Hamed litterallllly has dedicated his life to teach his students! and you will get such an emotional support from Dr. Elmira! She is amazing! I asked for a 5 five minute talk .. she gave me almost an hour just one to one talk !!! She kept on encouraging me to get over my first painful experience ( which I was in another academy ) ... and guess what ! She did not even try to blame the other academy as a part of her professionality and honesty !
Another important point that I would like to add, Dr. Hamed has never blocked any comment from his students! Like the other academy, they dont publish any comment unless to be checked by the admin office!
the other academy push their students who passed the exam to post on fb, otherwise they don't get their cpd hours certificate!
All in all, I am very happy to recommend common stations! And I am really thankful for them to switch my 2nd trial experience from being painful to a really enjoyable smashing one!
M. S.
I had a goal to pass and I achieved it from the first attempt. I genuinely believe attending the course lead by Dr Hamed was the key to success. Be ready for hard work, but everything you need to pass will be given and explained there. I should also mention the support of the team at the academy and Dr Hamed's great sense of humour which helped us to go through this tough period of preparation for the exam.
T. Z.
If you are welling to put enough effort and want to pass PLAB 2, Common stations is the place to go, i joined dr hamed's academy and i had no idea what the exam is like and first 2 days I was very confused, but by the end of the 14 days course, I knew what to expect and how to prepare thanks to Dr hamed and his great staff, PLAB 2 became more difficult and new things are added to it more and more but dr hamed doesn't save any effort in updating his course and material to match the change that happens, even he got a little ill during our course but that didn't stop him from giving 100% to us and I really appreciate that forever.
i had a little less than 4 weeks to prepare for the exam after the course and it was a grind of all day work and study, so if you want to pass plab you need to put effort and join dr hamed's academy, he will help you to leave little to luck, also be sure to have atleast 4-5 weeks of preparation because the material became more than it was before, but be sure that Dr hamed will make sure that you have everything you need to pass.
Best of luck and seriously thankful for dr hamed's work, I definitely recommend his course to everyone.
T. A.
Dr Hamed is a good and kind hearted man who is dedicated to giving his best. For me words cannot express how grateful I am to common station. I was one of those who benefited from his training freely at a point I was really devastated. His word of encouragement alone made me believe I could succeed in Plab 2 and was able to secure a job within a week of getting my result while my visa was expiring as a Master's student. Am grateful to God and indeed grateful to him for the selfless sacrifice.
J. A.
Dr.Hamed, Dr.Elmira and all the instructors at the mock were excellent. I have never thought of attending any academy for any previous exams in my life but surely this academy turned out to be the best decision I mede for my PLAB 2 preparation. They dedicate their time for us and taught us all crucial things we need to learn for the exam and for real life practice in UK. I passed my first PLAB 2 attempt without any trouble and I dedicate my result to Dr.Hamed and all teachers. Thank you for always being there for us and gave us all sincere comments in order for us to improve and get better. Highly recommend this academy to anyone who is preparing for the PLAB2.
O. A.
I attended commons stations after I failed my first PLAB 2 exam, I initially attended another academy earlier( I’d rather not disclose the name).
In my first attempt, I’d also rather not blame the initial academy for my failure because I’m not one to blame other people for things that happen to me. I’d say I was unlucky as I failed by just 0.07 marks.
I decided I’d rather go to commons stations for my second attempt after a friend recommended it. This decision happened to be the best decision I made in my PLAB journey.
On the first day of class, Dr Hamid said he’d teach us in a way that LUCK will not be the reason why we fail, and this is very important. His methods are very structured and direct, so even if you got a new exam station, you’ll be able to pass it.
Also if you want an academy that will give you one on one monitoring, this is the place to be.
Dr Hamed knows all the students on a first name basis and this is very good because I remember several times when I’d feel sleepy or doze off in class and I’d hear him say “Tosin!!! What are three differentials of chest pain”
This helped me to want to pay more attention and listen.
Commons stations method of history taking is so structured, it’ll be hard to miss any important thing in data gathering. He also teaches us a lot about Interpersonal skills which of course is very important .
The classes are fun and very interactive
Dr Hamed is also very passionate about what he does, he genuinely wants everyone to pass, he calls or texts a day before your exam to give you more confidence and reassurance, and even after PLAB 2, he’s willing to assist with the registration process
I’d definitely be recommending this to my other colleagues back home
o. u.
I had a great time at Dr.Hamed’s class. He is a dedicated teacher that gives his ALL. His notes are detailed and can help you when you start your career in the UK. I will definately recommend his course to anyone. You will get the full benefit of your money. Plab 2 is no magic. He gives you all you need to pass But you must be willing to work hard.
S. N.
My review is based on my experience only. First off Dr Hamed himself is a very dedicated teacher. For someone to memorize each and every persons name in a batch of 70+ within 3-4 days in itself shows how dedicated he is. Dr Hamed provides you with material that improves your knowledge and guides you towards improving your clinical skills particularly history and management. One thing I can guarantee is that after the 15 days course you will learn things that will definitely help you in becoming a better doctor irrespective of whether you pursue your career in Uk or your home country. As far as preparing for Plab 2 is concerned you will get the required guidance from the academy but at the end of the day it's totally upto you. No matter which academy you join one thing is for sure that you should not follow them blindly. All of you have done your graduation in medicine and many have clinical experience as well. You have to use all of those knowledge and skills and combine them with the guidance you receive in the academy. I want to stress that you won't be spoon fed. For those who find it hard to learn in a class with 70 odd people then maybe common stations isn't the right choice for you but also remember that PLAB 2 is all about getting out of your comfort zone and performing well under pressure. If you can't handle the pressure of learning in a class with so many people then you need to understand that the journey after plab isn't easy either. You have to perform well under extreme pressure during your exam and also during your practice where you are constantly being monitored and a minor mistake could have grave consequences.
In the end whether you do take common stations or not is upto you and the right people to guide you would be your seniors who attended a certain academy. Dozens of people have passed with each academy but at the end of the day it comes down to how well you prepare using the guidelines given to you, but I can safely say that common stations does provide you with an amazinf mentor in Dr Hamed who will spend every minute of your day to make sure you stay up to date with everything required to pass the exam.
m. C.
I passed PLAB 2 with a preparation of 4 weeks and that was only possible because of the guidance of Dr. Hamed and his team. The picture of OSCE stations was absolutely clear in our heads after the 13 days of intensive class taken by Dr. Hamed himself. His approach will help you not just for the exam, but for your entire career. I have never come across such a dedicated teacher in my entire academic life. Forever indebted to Dr. Hamed and his team.
R. A.
Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira are amongst the best of teachers that I have come across. In a short period of time they drill the things needed to clear plab 2 into your mind. I have great respect for both of them for their dedication and help. Choosing Common Stations for plab 2 preparation (after a clinical gap of almost 10 years) was one of the best decisions I ever made.
C. J.
I attended the November 2018 batch and I have to tell you that it is one of the BEST institutes I have ever attended. Yes, we were worked to the core and were exhausted, but Dr Hamed and Elmira, along with the staff Ehsan were always full of encouragement and prepared me extremely well, so much so that I cleared my PLAB 2 exam with an almost perfect score. I heavily recommend it to people who do not mind a bit of hard work for a brighter future.
S. H.
Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira are great teachers who are entirely dedicated to help overseas doctors achieve their goals. Dr Hamed's efforts and dedication are truely remarkable and I wish he continues to teach and help us all for many many more years to come. God Bless you Sir!
B. B.
I'm Dr Alban and I would like to share my personal experience with Common stations and Dr Hamed. Common stations is The number one centre for those who want to pass plab II first attempt because I did it. This is possible because Dr Hamed is one of the greatest teachers I have ever met in my life. He is dedicated, passionate, patient and above all very knowledgeable. He knows what he talks about. THANK YOU DR HAMED AND COMMON STATIONS
A.
Despite long hours, the classes are fun and Dr. Hamed is a very gifted teacher in making you understand things by discussion. Highly recommended course for PLAB2 and the notes are by far the best among all current academies.
S. R.
I had my fair share of failures in life. Took me twice to clear PLAB1. So clearing PLAB2 in the first attempt was a desire, challenge and for various reasons, a must do situation.
The first day at Dr. Hamed's academy made me a bit depressed to be honest. So much to read, so much to learn; "why did I even come here, I'm not going to pass anyway"- was the thought that consumed me whole. But as the days went, I realized what Hamed was upto! He literally hammered the skeleton of the scripts into our brains and within a week we could ask the history questions in a flow without thinking. The only thing left was to cover the skeleton with flesh, which is essentially dependent on ourselves: how we talk, how we approach. Everyone has there own way of expression, the scripts from the academy gave us a guideline so we could construct our own dialogue in our own unique way. If anyone thinks we have to follow these scripts word by word, that's where you're mistaken.
The practice sessions should be started as soon as the classes end. Thankfully I had a wonderful study group with people all over the globe: Abdullah from Pakistan, Madhu and Princley from Sri Lanka, Robert from Ghana, Abrar, Abonti,Tahmid my homies from Bangladesh. And also my housemate Rufina Binoy from India who guided and helped me practice at home.
The mocks were very helpful in regards to getting used to the pressure of the exam.
And a quick practice session by Dr. Elmira which our group was lucky enough to grab was the best thing that could happen to us.
Dr. Hamed is an amazing mentor, not only does he guide us about the study material, but you can also get inspired by the unbelievable strength and enthusiasm he possesses and feel inspired to implement these qualities in your own life too.
Thank you Dr.Hamed, Dr. Elmira, the whole Common Stations team, my fellow fighters from LLL batch and my wonderful wonderful study-mates.
I passed at the first attempt in 14 out of 17 stations ( one station wasn't considered for some reason) with a score of 142.
Hope to see you all as colleagues soon. Keep me in your prayers. May the force be with you!
I. Z.
Common stations in my opinion is the best place to go if you want to pass plab 2. Alhamdullilah, thanks to the lovely team at CS, I was able to pass the exam in one go with flying colours!!! The material they provide is amazing and dr Hamed himself teaches the classes, which is the best feature of all! He is vey dedicated and was always punctual. Dr Elmira and the mock examiners at CS were amazing too! I can’t thank them enough! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
U. K.
Plab 2 is not just testing your knowledge but your skills and ability to handle patients as you would in real life in the NHS. It encompasses medicine surgery gynae obs paeds etc . Dr. Hamed's course is essentially guidance for what to expect and how to handle the situations you come across, asking the right questions with the right gestures and applying your knowledge in a way that your patient leaves satisfied and well informed. This is what NHS expects of you and that is the crux of PLAB 2 and that is exactly what Dr. Hamed and his team teach through out the course. He has a well supported system in place and considering that dr. Hamed and dr. Elmira are both NHS doctors, they actually practice what they preach and preach only what is right and are congruent with the current practice guidelines. Your job is to be a vigilant student because the exam may get harder, but the tools necessary to ace the exam is what Common stations will equip you with. I have been a student to Dr. Hamed and dr. Elmira. I now work in the NHS and not a day goes by that i do not apply the lessons that both of them have taught me. This course is your investment for your future.
m. k.
common station is THE best academic experience of my life . Never in my life have i ever paid attention to any of my teacher untill i met dr hamid .His way of teaching is just outstanding he would keep you sooo involved and attentive and he makes it look so easy and interesting,and he is super hilarious tells the best jokes. Dr hamid is the most hardworking person i have ever seen , he would always be there to help you . even after the course he was just a phone call away .Plab 2 is hectic but common station would make it worthwhile i made the best friends there and have the most awsome memories.I was super confused before plab 2 as to which academy to attend but one thing made me choose common station that was , my husband had attended swammy for plab and then attended 3 day course of dr hamid as his first batch and he said *hamid taugh me in 3 days what swammy coudnt in 15 *.
my first ever review for anything because dr hamid , dr almirah and common station team is worth it . i can write a whole book but i think no one would have such spare time to read it 😋😋
A. A.
No doubt that Dr. Hamed put a lot of time, effort and dedication to his attendants. I went through notes from different academies and definitely, common stations' notes are the most comprehensive and easy to remember. Thanks to Dr Hamed's method of mapping the data in a simple and logical way.
m. a. b.
Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira are really hard working and committed mentors, who are always ready to provide support and help to all the pupils .
I really appreciate their efforts in providing up-to-date knowledge and information required to pass the PLAB 2 exam
Y. A. T.
Dr Hamed's course was very helpful and helped me in passing my plab 2 from the first attempt Alhamdillah . Dr Hamed is very dedicated and puts a lot of time and effort with each one of his students , and I really recommend his course .

Dr Hamed is the most tenacious person I ever met. The staff are also hardworking and supportive. They all played important roles in helping me pass the plab 2 exam. Thank you to everyone at common station.
N. A.
Dr. Hamed is the best teacher I've come across. He is so dedicated and hardworking. My exam wouldn't have been the same had I not chosen Common Stations.
I. S.
Dr hamid's commitment and dedication and hardwork for his students is just amazing . Whatever i did in my exam was what i could remember from the classes i took . Dr hamid and dr elmira make sure u know all about the exam and how to pass it and at the end of the classes u most certainly know all that u need to know about this exam and to pass this exam .
I will always suggest common Stations academy to anyone who wants to appear for plab 2
D. B.
Most hardworking and enthusiastic teacher ever. It had been my best decision to join Common Station for my PLAB 2 exam and I had passed on my first attempt with good marks. I am very much grateful to Dr Hamid and his dedicated team for their efforts and hardwork. Thank you so much.
A. A.
PLAB 2 made easy or rather journey to the UK made easier than expected by my Special, dedicated, never tiring and selfless teacher, Dr Hameed.
Attending Common Station academy was an academy that gave one all the teaching and materials needed to pass the plab exam and even details of UK practice.
All lectures taken by the boss himself, Dr Hameed, giving all necessary codes to remember easily, so as to be able to tackle all GMC stations.
Your personality of knowing all your students by name and carrying all students along while teaching still baffles me so much that I want to be like you when I grow up.
Teaching the Plab 2 exam is a passion for you and I appreciate your individual follow up support given to your students.
Hmmm my very own Dr Elmira who made all examination and manikin stations so easy and effortlessly like ABC. I was ready for GMC with all you taught me, but I wasn't asked any examination nor manikin station, but u know what, I applied your teaching to my daily practice.
I won't complete this write up without mentioning the excellent individual feedback on mocks. No academy does that. The personal touch u gave us made PLAB 2 an easy one chief.
Thanks for granting me the opportunity to be trained by you and your team of excellent and on point mock examiners.
May God reward all your effort abundantly.

Dr hamed is not just a teacher he is our mentor and i learned alot from him . And i always be grateful for him.
He's a hardworking, dedicated teacher. He used to teach us from 9 am to 9 pm all by himself and after that he was willing to stay late just to answer any queries we had . Although it sounds hectic however he made the course interactive and funny and the time fly quickly . His way of teaching is memorable even inside the exam i was still remembering his point.
I had almost 3 weeks after the course and by practicing with the doctors the way he teaches I cleared plab2 Alhamdulilah 🙏🏿
I am always be grateful for him and the staff in the academy as they're all such an amazing people and always encourage us ❤

Dr. Hamed & Dr. Elmira undoubtedly are the most dedicated teachers. The way the exam has been changing in the recent past and the way the center has been working on the material is awsum. The mocks and all the manequiens availability surely adds to it. A must go through one specially for this exam. The interaction with other fellows is also a learning and friendly environment. Common station is so well structured that u feel u are going in the right direction. Thanku for making my exam so easy and passing through this hurdle.

Two words : highly recommended!
I definitely do not regret choosing common stations ! Dr.hamed is one of the best teachers that I had the pleasure of learning from . He shows up everyday full of energy and dedication to make sure each and every single student in his class pass with flying colors .
I have to say before coming to common stations I had my doubts due to all the clashing reviews but now that I’m done I would choose it again and again !
Dr.hamed is punctual , he never misses the class , he drives us all and pushes us to our limits , the way he teaches makes you pay attention despite the long tiring hours and stress levels ! He doesn’t just spoonfeed you he teaches you how to think and how to deal with situations even if it was unfamiliar !
Dr.Elmira is just amazing , physical examination and combined stations are a piece of cake after she teaches them !
If you’re looking to pass PLAB 2 this is the course to choose !
m. q.
Absolutely amazing experience. I've never come across a teacher better than him in my life. He is a really humble and funny teacher. He keeps you up to date with all the lastest material. Now as plab 2 is changing rapidly with so many new stations Dr hamed teaches in a way that even if you have a new station in the exam you will have enough knowledge and confidence to easily pass that station.He has a huge class for a reason because he is simply the best. The academy is always open to sit and study and the mannequins are always available for practice. 2 full 18 station mocks are conducted and a detailed feedback is given to you about your performance which actually helps alot in the actual exam,you know your deficiencies and work on them more. I made the best decision by choosing common stations and owe my success to the whole common stations team. Keep the good work going.

Dr Hamed's Commonstations is the one-stop destination for doctors preparing for PLAB2. After the rigorous 15day course you are equipped with knowledge and confidence to go on and pass the exam. Having attended one other academy previously and with the vantage of hindsight, I can say that Commonstations is arguably the best academy out there. I was thought the basic principles of history taking like I was in kindergarten, a process which, with consistent practice became as simple as ABC. His approach is very comprehensive and ensures you don't miss any important detail especially in data gathering. He always insisted on us imbibing the structure necessary to tackle the common case scenarios such that with time, practice and dedication to detail, you don't really need to cram the scripts. Just picture the structure as a scaffold and then add the flesh to it. Dr Hamed is a genius, an erudite teacher and very lively with a great sense of humour, purpose and commitment. You don't wanna miss his rather animated gestures during those long hours of classes. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to attend the academy. He pushes you to your elastic limit, especially if you are someone like me who is short of confidence in my ability. I remember him saying once that if you cannot practice for 15hours a day you should forget about passing the exam. Of course that may not be entirely a fact, but that was all I needed to up the ante, roll my sleeves up and push myself.
It's 5-stars for me.

Well I've a few words for Dr. Hamed Salehi & Dr. Elmira Yaghmaei; Encouraging, Motivating, Hardworking, Punctual, Supportive and Caring.
First of all and most important, they teach by themselves during the whole course. Secondly, thorough notes that are consistent with the lectures of Dr. Hamed and prepare you for any possible variation of the exam scenario. Furthermore, guided one-to-one Simman Sessions, supervised Workshops with Dr. Elmira and lengthy Mock Tests, what more can you ask for.
I would have given Common Stations PLAB 2 Academy 10 out of 5 stars, if I could.
Thank You Dr. Hamed Salehi & Dr. Elmira Yaghmaei
Regards
Dr. Haris Manan

If you want to pass plab 2, common stations is an absolute must. Dr. Hamed is perhaps the most dedicated and engaging teacher I’ve ever come across. The long hours are tough but Dr. Hamed makes it more than worth your while. The rest of the commonstations team are also incredible and together make a great family.
C. K.
Joined Common stations in July 2017. It was and still is the best place to be in order to excel in the PLAB exams. I use the knowledge I gained in the course to look after patients at work to this day. Dr. Hamed, Dr Elmira and the entire team are committed to seeing you excel. Course is intense but worth it.
T. A.
Common Stations really helped me in clearing my exam and Dr Hamed's dedication to teaching is awe inspiring. I believe that he has been a big influence on me and will continue to do so for many students in the future
P. S.
To everyone who sat Dr Hamed's classes, I don't have to tell you more about it because we have all been there and done that. To those coming in for the first time, well , it's not going to be easy because Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira are extremely dedicated in what they do, so we've got to keep up. It's a 20 day course with mocks that you can take which is very useful. Every word that Dr Hamed screams aloud in class will come clear when you are in the GMC exam centre. He is a perfect example of what I would call "a firm but gentle hand". Dr Elmira conducts the mannequin workshops which are super fun and informative, she keeps the class going with her smile(trust me!!). Both of them are very encouraging, always seeing the bright side of everything even during the darkest times. I would be missing out a lot if I didn't mention Junior Hamed and Ahsan in the Admin who always kept me posted and got us mannequins and notes we needed on time. The whole team at CommonStations were so helpful in whatever we needed. Then of course, we need to work hard ourselves and keep up during these 20 days because the NHS is different from the other healthcare systems I have seen, but the long hours in class is totally worth it when you see the "PASS" against your name, the feeling is a "million dollar worth" moment. I would definitely recommend CommonStations to anyone who would ask me. A huge shout out to the whole CommonStations family for standing by me and believing in me no matter what. Hoping to see you guys around. Much love and cheers x
S. A.
I will share my experience about this academy
First I'm pushing 35 years old so I'm not a very junior doctor as you can see, I have attended common stations in July took the exam in August studied for only 12 days in total and passed my first attempt.
First positive things Dr Hamed is a good dedicated teacher with Dr Elmira always there to help, you will always find somone to answer your questions and queries whatever they are which I see as a very good point.
The frame work of the history and station structure and dealing with certain situations in the exam and in clinical life afterwards is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND AMAZING.
Dr hamed really makes an excellent job in this point.
I have some reservations though on the way of teaching which is station based instead of being topic based which in my opinion would save an enormous amount of effort.
One point that made me really struggle as I'm responsible for a family is the punctuality it is not a 15 days course at all!
Also I took the course in summer which was boiling hot in London this summer and the classroom was extremely crowded which made me really suffer extremely and actually the place was not prepared for the number nor the weather.
People has mentioned the notes in the reviews that is why I used topic based approach during my studies which had helped enormously.
Finally give yourself enough time read the guidelines to be prepared for any scenario or twisted questions (these guidelines are provided in Dr Hamed notes crudely though, would have helped much if were summerized into points),your presentation is quite important and the way you approach the patient as a confident safe doctor counts the most.
Most people who fail were either not prepared enough or too stressed.
Definitely recommend if you are healthy enough and not in summer!
C. M.
To all the lovely people preparing to come to UK to take Plab 2,PLEASE go and join Dr.Hamed.
You would have done all your research and consulted all your colleagues. Some of you may have decided to join Dr.Hamed's class.But let me give you something, that may be you would not had in mind.
Friends there are many Coaching Centres. Students from all of those centres Pass in large numbers as they do from Common Stations.BUT there is something more you need which ONLY n ONLY ,Common Stations can get you.
The reason why I believe Common Stations is the BEST is, Dr.Hamed is not just any other teacher,to me he is a magician.He just feeds you everything that is necessary for the Exam and doesn't let you go until you perform like him even in your DREAMS.
Then you just need to do his tricks on your day and I bet in every Station - The Examiner and the actors will be spellbound by your MAGIC.
Believe me friends He is that rare variety of a teacher who will FORCE you to prepare till you are ready and you will love him for that.
Please mail me if you have heard a lot against him,I will always give you an honest reply.
Believe in Dr.Hamed n pray to your God, you will not just do great but do WONDERS.
Thanks a lot friends.
C. B.
Drs. Hamed and Elmira, and the staff of Common Stations were very helpful in my journey to conquer PLAB 2. The hours are long and from the start, he will tell you that you won’t pass because of him. He will only provide you the backbone and guidance, but in the end, it will always be up to you. With every other review centre, there will be pros and cons, so please learn to manage your expectations. But as teachers, I believe you won’t find anyone better.
M. M. K.
dr hamid is very dedicated and hard working teacher,he is one of the best person i had ever met! He is always there for your help and support. Always been punctual and strict about class timings that definitely helped us in completing the course on time.The academy has very friendly and good environment .i would strongly recommend this to everyone who is going to appearin plab2 in future.
D. P. S.
Words can't express how dedicated Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira are when it comes to teaching doctors about the Plab 2 exam. I'm glad I joined Common Stations. I wouldn't have passed the exam without joining this academy. The credit also goes to the entire team at Common Stations who are there to help at all times.
O. A.
I was a student of Dr.Hamed , attended the academy Aug. 2018 . I'd definitely recommend him to anyone.
I'd the pleasure of being part of batch WW , and I passed from 1st attempt along with many of my colleagues.
Dr.Hamed & Dr.Elmira will do their part and will go the extra mile for you , you just have to be dedicated, cuz it's not an easy exam to pass .
N. A.
The best academy for plab 2 exam ! This was the best decision I made for plab 2 preparation. No doubt dr. Hamed is the person behind my successful result, the way he teaches gave me confidence and I was very confident even in the new stations I got in my plab 2 exam.
F. B.
I wouldn't have passed if it weren’t for Common Stations.
The course is intense but thats exactly whats needed. Dr Hamed is a very dedicated and energetic human who is committed to his work. I throughly enjoyed his classes! There was never a dull moment!
The key is to trust him and give it your all.
S. S.
When I first came to common stations, I was a bit nervous and scared to be honest. But all that changed when I saw how dedicated Dr. Hamed was to teaching his students. I still remember the day he called me up to the hot seat. I froze in the middle of the station and said, ‘ I’m sorry, I am a bit nervous.’ I was hoping he would end the station there and send me back to the seat. But there was still time remaining and he replied sternly,’ Continue doctor.’ I didn’t do well in that station, but he some how gave me the confidence to continue. I always felt that he believed in me and my husband. By the Grace of Allah, my husband and I, both, cleared PLAB 2. Dr. Hamed has a very serious attitude towards teaching. And rightly so. It’s his approach towards teaching, that keeps us all focused. The man amazes me. I am grateful to have gotten a chance to study at his academy. 🤟🏽
D. M. K. M.
Common Station is the best academy for PLAB 2. Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira are dedicated and hard working souls towards the students and attending this academy pays off. Choose this academy without any hesitation. Love and respect for both Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira. <3

An outstanding PLAB course,it helps you to make your strategy and put you on the right track to achieve your success from the first attempt.
Dr.Hamed is one of the best teachers that push you hard and make you utilize all of your energy to reach your goals .
Many thanks Dr.Hamed without you and Common Station I couldn’t make it .

15 day course at Dr Hamed's Common Station is the key to pass plab 2 EASILY. His wise words during class, his way of teaching & his positivity fills up every candidate with a courage that he or she CAN DO IT.
Thankyou common stations for making me pass this exam in first attempt. I'll always be grateful to you sir.

"Hamed Salehi
just follow the lines this man draws for you and you will achieve your goal. I won't speak a lot about the material and the course and the exam ,
just I want to share an experience with this man who deserves all this love and admire that his students show to him.
after my course had ended and before the review classes my lovely younger brother had passed away , really it was one of the worst experiences I faced in my life , I was about to give up , I said to my self even if I stayed I ll loose my concentration and who knows if I entered the exam like this what it will be ? , I decided to go back to my home country but before reserving the tickets I thought of having a chat with this man ,
I have to admit that Allah sent to me many people to stand beside me in this affliction who I want to thank all of them from deep of my heart,
and may be most of our colleagues of the great lovely Patch qq dont know about this experience but actually I want to mention Dr Hamed Salehi again again who advised me and talked to me as a brother and more. I cant forget these wise words :
" you will pass Amro , stay here , go through this pain , dont loose your track , attend the classes even with 30% or 40% concentration , you have a very good companion and study group , and all of you will pass
your brother would advise you that if he was alive"
Today 9th of May 2018 and after I ve passed the exam with a score more than I ve expected,I can say ..... This man knows.
knows about the plab 2 exam better than any one, about the examiners , about simulators about his candidates . like I said in the very beginning , just let your self with his flow . Follow each single word he says , dedicate yourself as much as you can to this exam exactly like he does in the classes and all of us know how much effort he does every day in the course and you will make it.
All of my thanks and appreciations dr Hamed ,
thank you dr Elmira and all the team of common stations.
and great thanks to those who shared the suffer of plab 2 journey along the PATCH QQ 2018 ."
I wrote this post before on may 2018 on facebook and now I am sharing my experience again with those who are searching for feedbacks about that course . That was 6 months ago . Now I ve started my new job in UK . Thank you again dr Hamed for helping me on this way and acheiving this dream . I know that a lot of people give a negative feedback even of my friends that I recommended common stations to them . Its all personal experiences the good ones and the bad ones . Any Academy has its failure rate , its drawbacks , and its all about you and your destiny to pass this silly exam or not . I know its harsh for some people who didnt pass but there is no perfection in any humanbeing organization . I would recommend him again and again if would be asked . wish all the best to those who are trying to achieve their goals, to be great doctors .
Its not about the goal you are trying to pursue , its about the journey you are taking to reach it , how to enjoy it .
A. H. H.
As Dr. Hamed says: There is no right way, there is no wrong way, there is only the best way and Dr. Hamed and his team's way for the PLAB journey is the best.
Yes the hours are long, days are hectic and nights are restless but that makes sure that you are content on the day of result.
The course will not only prepare you for Plab or further examinations but as per my experience, will also make you a better doctor and that is the ultimate goal.
Recommended 11/10. 😊
M. S.
Doctor Hamed is one of the best tutors I had in my academic journey he is a hard working man with lots to give and despites all the long hours teaching in the academy you all ways find him waiting for as the end of the day at the door to answer all questions. Thank you from all the heart.
U. S.
Dr. Hamed and Dr. Elmira will equip you with everything you need for your exams and the seniors over there will guide you on how to study after the course. Add in some smart work and this is all you will need to pass your exam.
Common Misconceptions:
- Classes don't run until midnight.
- Classes are not overcrowded with no place to sit
O. O.
Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira are great souls. They and their team are genuinely interested in you passing your exams, and they personally oversee most of the day-to-dsy running of the Academy. God bless them tremendously.
M. S.
Dr hamed is an amazing person and a brilliant teacher. Words can't describe this guy!
My experience at common stations has been a wonderful one and I would recommend anyone who wants to appear for plab2 should take his classes.
K. F.
Great academy, has everything from A to Z to clear the test. Dr. Hamed is extremely dedicated to his students, and tries his level best to guide everyone till they pass the exam. Highly Recommended
S.
My experience at Common Stations was FANTASTIC. I always hated clinical examinations but doctor Elmira made them look so easy. In addition, History taking has become a second nature to me, I don't even have to try and remember the questions thanks to doctor Hamed, I'll never miss a finding as an NHS doctor!
s. p.
Definitely a turning point in my Plab 2 journey when we( my wife was the strongest proponent for common station) decided for Dr. Hamed Sir's common station which I think was a extremely wise decision. Down the line my wife to would be preparing for plab and no doubt we would go for common station. Also to mention I have made really good friends during my stay in Barking. Thank you Sir for everything and I sincerely wish that common station grows by leaps and bounds producing successful students and shaping their lives. Thank you.
d. n.
The structure that you get from Dr. Hamed is the best! That's gonna be helpful for PLAB and also afterwards. And the materials are updated on a regular basis as well. As Dr. Hamed takes the classes himself so extra care is taken during the classes... So yeah, I would like to recommend attending Common Stations for PLAB 2... 🙂
H. I.
Dr Hamid is an inspiration. He is such a hard-working person that I have never seen in my whole life.His comittment to his work motivated his students to work hard.
He prepares his students not only to pass plab 2,but also help them in becoming good doctors.I don't have enough words to thank him.I started my journey of plans 10years after my graduation and it was a challenge for me to pass plans,however Dr Hamid' guidance and sweet Dr Elmira's cooperation made it possible that I pass my plab 2 in first attempt, alhamdulilah.These two people will always remain as good memories in my life and wish them and common station more and more success.
r. d.
Well,to be honest,PLAB 2 is a tricky exam and you are never ever sure despite of your good preparation,u would come out of it.Thats why i believe choosing a good Academy is a vital step.I choosed Common station led by Dr Hamid.That was infact my best decision as his approach, commitment towards us was phenomenal.I could just relate everything which he actually discussed in clases in the examination hall.He is so hardworking,and punctual and u learn that attitude as a student with him.The material given are enough for you to pass any station as they are updated.Believe me,u will see the difference after u are done with ur academy and preparation.
I dunt know much about other academies but this one is defintely worth to go.
I passed PLAB 2 recently with good marks.
R. O.
My colleague that introduced me to Common stations informed me about your passion for what you know best how to do- helping foreign medical graduates pass PLAB2 and integrating into the UK health system. I found everything true to the letter. Your zeal for imparting what you know into your colleagues, for me, is almost an addiction. Your personal rapport with everyone that comes to your academy is quintessential. The work your team and yourself are doing is wonderful. I appreciate you all and wish you God's Guidance and His benovelence in all your endeavours!
I. A.
Excellent teachers! Very humble and dedicated to get you through with plab 2. SIM man, exactly the same as you would have in exam. Dr. Hamed is a gem of a person. Highly recommend their course for plab 2! The best by far!
F. K.
Definitely one of the best teachers i've had. His work ethic and commitment is tremendous. The people who criticize him and his academy just really wanted a quick fix into the plab system. Which is not possible imo. Either way it was one of my best decisions to join Common Stations and be able to learn from Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira.Keep it up! The long classes and all day coffee/diet coke drinking is worth it in the end! 😅
T. K.
It’s a total pleasure and privilege for me to be a student in common station. Dr.Hamed sir is an amazing mentor and guide.He is so dedicated and delivers the best possible information to his students.I also want to thank Dr.Elmira and all the other teaching stuffs there.They are doing an incredible job.Last but not the least I will definitely recommend anyone who is planning to take plab2 course to join common station.Plab 2 is a difficult journey and common station will help you to get through this effectively.
T. B.
From where should i start..when i fist joined i was intimidated by Dr.Hameed Sir's speech and rules but later even within the second day, the entire atmosphere of the classroom was changed. He is a very dedicated teacher who can keep 100 students awake and actually learn from his lecture for 9-10 hours while maintaining the atmosphere friendly. It was later that I understood his rules..1) ask our doubts later as if we ask between tge classes then no way he will be able the class within 8/9 hours, moreover after every class ends he sits down and clears every student's doubts..the rest of the students who have no doubts can leave and go home and study.
2) inform him if we are going to miss or be late..he deeply cares for every student and its his duty as a teacher to know about our absences so tgat he can help us out.
3) raise hands whn we answer..obviously if everyone mumbles together..its no use...
I truly feel bad when i see post that talks about his rules but everything that he does has a reason behind it.
He knows every student by name and even knows which students sleeps in his class and that's whn he starts with his jokes..he used to call me Begum jaan and laugh at the mistakes that i make while answering his questions but I am sure he used to ask me questions when he knew i wl make mistakes so that he can laugh it out and keep the class alert..it helped me to be alert and also i never made the mistakes which corrected me..
By far, i know common stations is excellent, keeps up with the new trends and changes, most of all Hameed Sir himself teaches all the lessons, in addition the one to one sinman sessions.
I will definitely recommend common stations to the new plabbers bcoz it is truly a wonderful academy.
M. Z.
It was an amazing experience to attend dr hamed course. My wife and I attended this course and we both passed in our 1st attempt
He has been doing this for a vry long time now and he really knows everything about plab 2 exam
U will get all the material u need to pass this exam at common stations. Dr hamed and dr elmira makes a great team and i have only good words about them 😊
To all the new plabbers who r confused about which academy to join, dont overthink and go get urself enrolled in common stations ASAP....u wont be disappointed at all 😊
D. J. S.
Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira ,a million thanks being part of my successful plab2 journey. It would have never been possible without your guidance and support . Both of u are true gems, am proud that i chosen common stations
b. y.
My name is Aisha Naqshbandi. Dr Hamed is one of the most dedicated, honest and hard working teachers I have ever met in my life. His energy motivated us and used to give hope to us. He engraved so many concepts in our brain so effortlessly. I have immense respect and love for this teacher. He gave us all we need to pass. We only had to read everything and practice. When it comes to doing his job and delivering as a teacher. He has always given 100%. I thank him again and all his team. I thank Dr. Elmira for all her endless efforts and encouragement. It was a gift from God that I chose common stations. Deep respect and love for all of you. God bless you! <3
I. J.
I am currently working in NHS and thanks to common stations and Dr Hamed for being a part of this joinery.Not only the he is a amazing teacher but he provides immense support and motivation to achieve your goal.I had a wonderful experience learning about how NHS works at common stations and these are still useful and help me in my daily job. I highly recommend joining common stations for plab 2.
c. l.
Had one of the best learning experiences at common stations. Infact, i really felt like a student with proper teaching by Dr Hamed. Thank you Dr Hamed for your dedication and passion.
J. J.
I think I have made the right choice by choosing common station. I was advised by many of my seniors to join this academy & they are absolutely right. Both Dr. Hamid & Dr. Elmira are extremely passionate & hard-working teachers & the study material they provide is up-to-date. If u read them well & be confident in exam, in sha Allah u will surely pass. I passed 17 out of 18 station & got 146, Alhamdulliah. The credit goes to "common station". So plz make the right choice & pick this academy.
Z. M.
Whenever Common stations comes in my mind, it always remind me a family which helped and support me throughout my struggle. I reccomend people not because I cleared my Plab 2 , its because Dr Hamed and Dr Almirah and their whole team treat their students with love and care. People travel to barking from different parts of the world with a dream to practice in UK. More than anything they need a family which not only them but also support them and give them individual advises. I believe common station is the place where you learn more than just a PLAB !!! Regards.

V. S.
Possibly the best academy for PLAB 2 training in the UK. I say possibly but mean definitely.
Dr. Hamed is by far the best teacher I have ever come across and the man's sheer dedication and energy is almost supernatural. I have been putting off writing a review because everything I want to say has been said by so many before me and they've said it better and in a lot more words.
To those who are trying to decide between the many academies offering the course, I can't speak for the others but CommonStations is pure in it's intent and the entire duration of the course and the following weeks of preparation is an experience that will leave you wanting to go back to being a student.
Location - The Academy is in Barking, London. Barking is just the right amount of shady and honestly, no worse than most cities in London when it comes to safety. The benefit of having the academy in Barking are wuite a few
1. Easy access with the Underground/metro whatever you want to call it.
2. The rent is a lot cheaper than most places so you don't risk blowing too much of your savings.
3. This is probably the most important; It's peaceful. It's quiet. And the academy is across the road from a supermarket and a library and is right next door to a coffee shop and 20 feet away is a tiny shopping complex with a post office if you need one. There are rows of ATMs just around the corner. Basically, EVERYTHING you need is in a 100 meter radius.
2. Accommodation - My sincere advice is to stay in the accommodation provided by the academy. I'll be honest, it's not the best and it definitely won't work for families but as a student, it's more than enough to meet your needs. A big part of the whole PLAB 2 journey is meeting people and getting in as much practice as possible and staying in the academy gives you a major boost in that regard. It has a kitchen and two bathrooms and I never faced issues with either (messy housemates can't be avoided but a saint of a maid comes by every couple days and does damage control).
The other reason I would urge you to opt for the accommodation is the sheer convenience. It's a 5 minute walk, 3 if you hurry. Time is key for most aspirants who have a little over 4 to 5 weeks to crack the exam, and trust me, the last thing you want in your schedule is a commute to the academy. If you absolutely must, try to stay within walking distance.
3. The course itself - I'm going to keep this short and very matter-of-factly.
The course runs over the course of 15 days followed by 3 days of review classes and 3 days with FULL LENGTH MOCKS.
Dr. Hamed teaches the class every day. No old students, no assistants, just him. If you've heard someone whine about long hours then they need to be reminded that this is a training centre that aims to deliver the best training of it's sort to ALL students. Sure some might feel like the classes could be shorter but there are some who need even more time! Be mature about it and a little less selfish. That said, the classes are 8 to 10 hours long but they are captivating, entertaining and so much fun, you barely feel the time go by.
Dr. Elmira is a real sweetheart and the best at what she does which is teach the procedures and also some ethics stations. She also conducts the review classes and gives a ton of invaluable feedback when it comes to interpersonal skills and if you can stare her down in a practice session, you've already passed every angry-patient station in the PLAB 2.
Final verdict - The best of it's kind.
TL;DR - The course is everything it promises to be and more. 10/10 would take it again. But when CommonStations, chances are you will almost certainly pasa in the first attempt.
B. A.
Best academy to go for PLAB 2 preparation. Dr Hamed and his team really make sure to teach the students exactly what they need not just for the exam but also the skills needed to work in the NHS.
E. P.
Common stations Academy is a great place to be and I must admit they were solely responsible for my success and I will forever be grateful for their help and encouragement. Dr Hamed and Elmira are true examples of hardwork and humility!

Dr. Hamed & Dr. Elmira are very dedicated and passionate teachers. The staffs are really helpful too. This is the BEST place to go if you want to pass the PLAB2 exam! Such a brilliant course. Thank you Dr. Hamed 🙏🏻
S. A.
I cannot compare common stations with the other Plab 2 courses because I only attended Common Stations. I believe that much of my success was because of Dr. Hamed’s teaching and dedication. I would definitely recommend the course to all future plabbers!!
J. A. O.
Common Stations made PLAB 2 so easy. Just follow Drs Hamed and Elmira's directions and teachings, apply yourself very well then go face the exam in confidence.
I still apply the knowledge I gained and refer to the materials given in my practice and it has made me a better doctor.
Thank you Common Stations Team.
K. Y.
PLAB 2 is an exam different to any exam most of us have taken in our home countries. You definitely need someone to show you the the right pattern and tips and tricks to pass this exam, and commonstations does just that. Dr. Hamed is extremely helpful, supportive and patient and so is the rest of the staff. Highly recommended.
N. N.
Dr Hamed is the best teacher I came across over my entire life. Common stations where you are good to go for plab part two .thank you very much Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira.
V. M.
I want to give an honest opinion based on my experience with the academy and to put in a concise manner, I will say this, that untill u pass your Plab 2 dr hamed and dr Elmira will not rest. I passed the exam in my first attempt and that too while doing my residency here in India... it seemed utterly impossible but it happened! and no other person deserves the credit but dr hamed and his team. If I were to give a suggestion to any new aspirant of Plab, I wud blindly recommend common stations.
I can’t thank them enough!
K.
If you want a course that will make you a better doctor by just attending it, then Common Stations should be your destination. The course will help you pass PLAB 2, but more importantly, it help will become a better doctor!
An unforgettable experience with doctor Hamed and doctor Elmira, that makes every OSCE a piece of cake!
Aim higher than just passing PLAB 2 and attend common stations!
L. E.
I recently spoke to a senior colleague who asked about common stations. I didn't have any reservations about telling him to go ahead. If there is any fault in Dr hammed is that he takes his students very personal. Such a diligent teacher. Cos you pay your fees doesn't mean to can do as you please. He doesn't just want you to pass but prepares you for the work in UK.He doesn't not concentrate on passing but giving complete information.
E. G.
Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira always do their best for their students. They are always enthusiastic to see success from their students. Thank you for your help and support. I will be always thankful because Plab 2 journey wouldnt be very easy without your help and knowledge.

I feel joining common stations was the best decision .Dr Hamed is an amazing teacher and a very nice human being .Both Dr Hamed and Dr Elmirah are immensely supporting throughout up until last moment. I will never forget the time i spent at commonstations.Thanks to every one in the team
S. J.
Loved every moment at the academy. If I had to do it all over again, I would once again place all my trust in Common Stations. There are not many teachers as committed as Dr Hamed. Truly appreciate everything you do sir!
A. C.
Highly recommended! What I learnt at the academy not only helped me pass the exam but also helped me when I initiated my career in nhs and I still find it very useful for me. The dedication by all the staff members specially Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira is commendable 👍🏻
M. S.
I have to give credit to Dr. Hamed for getting myself through in the first attempt in PLAB 2. Dr. Hamed’s dedication and push was what made the difference in the end by giving me that extra bit that I needed. Like all things, there is always room for improvement, and in the case with Common Stations, maybe the seating arrangement at the venue could be made more comfortable given that the classes are very long and tiring. The accommodation provided by the academy isn’t ideal and has a lot of room for improvement as well. That being said, I would recommend it as the go-to place for PLAB 2 preparation.
S. S.
Going through the reviews I have found some negative ones regarding Dr. Hamed being loud and giving lengthy lectures, but you will realize that he does what is necessary, as he teaches what most of the people find boring i.e. history taking skills. He makes sure that no one is sleeping by keeping us all alert and interactive. In the end you will realize that you have learnt something which no one had taught you before this brilliantly. And keeping his arguably loud in-class persona aside, he is a gem of a guy, kind-hearted, polite and always helpful. In the end it is one's individual effort which makes him pass the exam, but Dr. Hamed's dedication and hard work does pay off, as reflected by his higher passing rates than his counterparts.
S. R.
Dr Hamed is an exceptional teacher. No one can make you sit for 12 hours straight and keep you focused except dr hamed. Keep up the good work 👍.
M. A.
I had only 6 days to prepare for the PLAB 2 exam, and while nobody believed I could make it, Dr. Hamed believed in me and helped me pass it. He arranged for 2 mocks and kept guiding me through my express and short journey.
And here I am...I passed the exam.
Deeply appreciate your efforts, sir.
R. K.
The best Plab 2 coaching academy out there!!! Hamed sir makes everything seem so simple and methodical that you don't really have to mug up anything. There is always a protocol you can follow, be it any case scenario; that I feel is the beauty of his teaching.
N. P.
Hamed is an excellent teacher!
I never felt bored or tired
His classes are very interesting
I would always recommend common stations for Plab 2.
I cleared in first attempt :)
N. A.
Dr. Hamed is the most dedicated teacher I have come across in my entire educational career.. Trust me he will make the whole journey of Plab 2 very interesting for you.. I would highly recommend commonstations academy to all my fellow colleagues looking for one!
A. y.
I am sure many people are not sure which accademy to choose when they pass plab 1.
I was in that stage when I passed my plab 1 but with the postive recommendation from.Common stations I finally opted Common stations. I am proud to say that I passed plab 2 first attempt and this is due to DrHamed guidance and patience.
He was there answering every day till late night to make sure that he answers all queries.
If I was to choose again I would still choose common stations.
I swear to God, I was a lecturer my self in my country, I have never seen somone like him as effective, enthusiastic and caring .
I can not thank common stations enough .
Trust me, you will not regret going to common stations .
Best wishes
K. D.
Common stations was the best choice I made when It came to choosing academies for plab2. And in the short time I was able to pass my plab2 in first attempt, it's all because of Dr hamed's teaching methods. Best teacher I met after such a long time
i. a.
Dr Hamed is a great teacher , I've enjoyed his class . he takes what he do seriously ,and he cares deeply about his students . I highly recommend .
S. B.
This experience was the hardest and the best experience in my life.
Dr Hamed is a very hard working man and very dedicated to his job.
Thank you for helping us out and making this dream come true
T. Ö.
Taking the common stations course is a very enlightening experience. You will learn everything you need to pass plab2 as well as many things (that you won't be able to read about) regarding daily medical practice and your career in the UK.
S. A.
It's the best academy one can go for plab2..dr Hamid is a very dedicated and excellent teacher.. although the course was hectic but at the same time very much entertaining..dr Hamid makes sure everyone passes the plab2 in first go.. I wish him and his team more success..
H. A. A. B.
Such an amazing teacher . I knew the moment his classes started that i was in good experienced hands . He made it all so easy . Hamed and Elmira make a wonderful team together and I recommend everybody wanting to clear plab in first attempt to go to commonstations .
w. a.
I thoroughly enjoyed Dr Hamed's classes and the catch phrases haha!. I like the value Common Stations placed on the money we paid, because what we learnt is beyond just plab 2, i couldnt have asked for a better academy. Thank you Dr Hameed!
N. K.
Dr. Hamed is one of the best teachers I've ever had in my life. He makes learning fun. I was always a back-bencher. But I thoroughly enjoyed his classes and I still miss them.
O. N.
Dr Hamed is an amazing teacher, he encouraged me towards re commencing this journey and his classes enabled me see my flaws that allowed me to correct them all with effective practise sessions in his up to date academy.
Am grateful for your kind hart and support you rendered to me.t
Thank you so much
m. d.
What can I say that will mean 'all you need to pass the plab 2 exams awaits you at common stations'. The helpful staff, the dedicated,self sacrificing, and amiable Drs Hamed and Elmira.
You just need to be focused for that couple of weeks to achieve your goal.
o. a.
Dr Hamed Salehi, is difficult to describe with just words. The beauty of what he does can’t be relayed with words, it is better experienced. I approached his academy with a baggage that weighed me down. This was taken off me and I was shown a way, to do better, be better. A fresh breath of air can be taken literally or it could also mean ‘Common stations’. Keep up the good work.
s. a.
This is the best academy in UK. This course with Dr Hamed is not just a course . It's an experience of a life time. I can't stress enough about the quality of this academy. I would like to recommend this academy to everyone. Best of luck
S. A.
Dr. Hamed is the best teacher ever. He along with his team work really hard to make sure that everyone gets the most out of the course. Highly recommended!
M. M.
my experience at common stations was quite rewarding. Dr Hamid is a passionate teacher and some might find it an aggressive approach but in my opinion when you are teaching a class of 70 or so doctors with different experiences,from different medical systems,several different languages,different learning techniques, you got to find a single unifying point which he finds by driving us to the extreme of our own individual abilities. He is driven,motivating and involved and that says alot about him as a teacher. He works around the clock remain in touch through out, help out afterwards and thats alot to get in few hundred pounds. Dedicated seniors hell bent on helping you are hard to get by.
m. m.
No doubt the course is hectic and tiring but the effort dr hamed puts in to make each and every student pass is the highlight of common stations. His notes are irreplaceable and the mocks were extremely useful in consolidating the information learnt. I would highly recommend this course for anyone wishing to pass plab 2.
H. H.
Hamed is a very hard working and dedicated teacher. His notes are excellent.
His classes are full of fun, so you won't get bored for sure.
Z. A.
Dr Hamed is an excellent teacher. What I liked the most was his approach to history taking, which helped me a lot in the exam.
S. T.
The stuff that have been said in the very few negative reviews is so untrue n unfair. Thats not how dr Hamed Salehi is ,in fact he is one of the people who are most sincere to what they do .He is the best teacher and the material he provides you with ,will help you all along your NHS career as well.I cant thank him enough for his role in my success. I highly recommend commonstations .10 on 10 !!
z. l.
His lesson is fun and helpful. I wound not pass without common station. Dr Hemid is very kind and try to help everyone. Definitely recommend this lecture to those who is going to take Plab2.
K. C.
If u are serious and dedicated to your cause Commonstations is the place to be. Dr hamed is one of his kind he gives in his 100 percent and makes u do the same. Its not just a place where u are given lectures but an institue to build your future and character as a doctor in literal sense and they do support you through every step let it be before you pass plab 2 or after that. If u fine someone better than dr hamed do let me know because i dont think theres one . Thank u sir 👍
M. Y.
I truly recommend dr Hamed and Common stations Academy. If you want to pass and learn how to be safe doctor, just attend Common Stations course, follow dr Hamed’s advice and that’s it. Thanks Dr Hamed for everything.

Dr Hamed is the most passionate and goal-driven teacher i have ever met in my life.He jas a perculiar way of impacting knowledge in a manner that bestows confidence and sharpens your memory.He is very much interested in the success of all his students.His joy and energy over the years has clearly been a result of the enormous and enviable success of his students at the Plab exams.The downfall of a single student of his, weighs him down soo much,hence he does not leave any stone unturned in bringing the best out of your at common stations courses.I highly recommend Commonstations to anyone who wants to have a touch of Plab 2 exam with much confidence.
From Dr Christopher Nwoko.

I have done my course at CS...I would definitely recommend to any doc wishing to join the academy for plab2 preparation...one of the most hard working teacher..

By far the only teacher I have come across who will go above and beyond and will make sure you will pass the exam. I have yet to come across a person who teaches from morning to late at night. He is dedicated to make a difference in you're life... I owe him that!

It was my best decision to join Common Station for my Plab 2 as I got the opportunity to meet Dr Hamed.I not only learned how to pass Plab 2 but I also learned how to be punctual and dedicated for profession.Dr Hamed is undoubtedly one of the best teacher I have seen in my life.Thank you Dr Hamed,Dr Elmira and the whole Common Station Team for all your support.I passed 15 station with 139 score.
Y. B.
Dr Hamed is one of the best teachers in my life he is a very dedicated Doctor and teacher and makes subjects simple with his special methods and on top of all sitting in his class is so enjoyable and I will never forget his jokes, he always gives us tips on how to deal with the exam even with new cases he is the reason I passed Plab 2 from my 1st attempt, and Dr Elmira also is a great teacher and taught us different examinations and interpersonal skills, I am so grateful for all the effort they put in teaching us and I am glad I chose Common Stations.
M. I.
Achieved 18 OUT OF 18 during my PLAB 2 exam. What more can I say about Common Stations? It was definitely the best decision of my life!
A. S.
It’s a general trend to ask reviews...I guess we judge as per words of people who aren’t part of journey of those who they comment about...let me start with myself...I didn’t seek any opinion ..I used my mind...being a postgraduate since long , I haven’t Been in touch with any fresh pass outs and graduates..few parameters that I considered were..one person taking class...NHS serving Doctor..experience...up to date/ not...( location of academy- this was minor criteria)
Well journey was mine..hard work ..no substitution...but most importantly guide!!!..
That’s who tells you the way...
Dr.Hamed has been a fantastic...devoted teacher and experienced guide...
His USP is his way of teaching..if you are attentive..u won’t forget it..
If you are devoted you would certainly nail it...
No academies have 100% pass percentages...
Let me write a bitter fact..see everyone shall charge you for service or guidance provided..there is no free lunch..but now it’s up to you to follow the herd or lead the herd...
There is a thin line between providing guidance vs doing business predominantly...
I decided to pay for guidance and service provided by joining common stations rather than part of someone’s business success story who run coaching as business rather than source of income coupled with more passion..I found latter at common stations under Dr. Hamed....
Stars above list my views...so Research we’ll before you follow masses..at times m is silent....😊
N. E.
Dr.Hamed and Dr.Elmira are the most dedicated tutors I've ever met.it might be the most exhausting course ,but it worths at the means.thank you Dr.hamed
R. N.
One of the best things about the academy os Dr Hamed's dedication towards teaching and bringing out the best in you through his course outline and material.
E. M. O.
Dr Hamed genuinely cares for your plab ambition and he stretches himself thin to help you realize it. Elmira is an wow.
S. M.
It was once in a life time experience.
As a student I have never seen such a mentor who put arduous efforts in ascertaining the success of his pupil.
I will always owe this success to you.

Great academy. Dr Hamed is a wonderful and dedicated teacher. I recommend common stations.
M. H. S.
The man is an AMAZING teacher. He seriously gives it his 100%. At the end of his academy's course, i felt as if I'd be wasting his effort as well along with other things like my own time, finances etc if i didnt put in my 100%.
H. S.
Common stations means:
Passion
Dedication
Determination
The Sky is not your limit!
I have enjoyed every minute of the course. Met wonderful and incredible people.
s. n.
I learned so much from Dr Hamed. I'm in training now and everyday I am using something that he taught me over a year ago.
Amazing teacher but a great human being.
F. S.
I m tazeen Sadiq ..i hve recently passed my plab 2 m I must say I had the best xperience at CS..As a teacher Dr.Hamed is nt comparable to anyone ..he is the most dedicated n concerned n the best teacher I ever had ..his teachings r up to date n he teaches wt exactly is required for plab2..He himself is a consultant at NHS so he knows much better n teaches well how to deal wd pta..n Dr Elmira is an expert in teaching examinations ..I hv no words to thank dr hamed n dr Elmira ..I really love n respect both n both will b in my prayers for ever..
R. Z.
Dr hamed is faced with the humungous task of training a large number of doctors every session he takes..and he goes out of his way to ensure that each of us is equipped with the material and understand the tasks ahead of us..i personally had a very good time learning from him and was aptly prepared for the exam..unfortunately many ppl dnt understand that the rest of the work is ours..that is to practice and recognise our weaknesses and works towards that..they want complete spoon feeding and a guarantee to a pass..bt what they frget is that if one doesnt embrace the entire structure of the exam and stubbornly proceed to take it without altering ones ways thats a sure fail..
I highly recommend dr hameds classes but at the same time remind you that you will have to work hard and work smart..if u work hard but foolishly you will nt get thru and thats all on you for not understanding the core of the exam
A. A.
I think Dr Hamed and the entire common station crew are doing well...it's quite hard to find dedicated teachers like Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira.i knew right before i wrote ielts i was going to attend commonstations and i'm glad i did...Everyone has their flaws bt that does not entirely take away the awesomeness of Dr Hamed and his team.i'm yet to find a teacher that remembers the names of all his students.pure genius if you ask me👏👏keep getting better💪
d. h.
Commonstations is the best place for Plab 2 aspirants and Dr hameed is the best mentor ever.Im forever indebted to him.😍

Dear Dr Hamed
There are no words that can express how I feel
But you never said something always stayed real
I could feel your ghost in the exam watching me
And the echo of your voice guiding me
I don't know how can I thank you, more than thanking you once again.

I understand some people have concerns about common station Plab2 course. On the positive side, Dr Hamed and Dr Elmira are working beyond their limits. Dr Hamed has it's on way of teaching, majority of the doctors like it and some may not and that is fine as you can't please 100%. People from common station do fail in the Plab2 exam which is undeniable but there is enough support available to get you ready for the 2nd chance. Some people talk about the lack of communication strategies and a separate session about it which might bring a positive change.
Looking at the current situation, I believe common station is the best place for Plab2
