Feedback from previous courses:

"I scored band 4 in both my exam papers and have just been offered my first choice job! I couldn't have done it without your amazing revision courses."

DR H A - GPST Entry 2011

"The Stage 2 crammer course was also excellent - the practice questions in exam conditions were particularly useful as was the feedback/analysis. Dr Rahman was a fantastic lecturer and very approachable. The hints and tips he provided were invaluable."

DR E P - GPST Entry West Midlands Deanery 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman,
I just wanted to let you know that I have been offered GP training in my first choice hospital in my first choice Deanery (Wessex)! Thank you very much for all your brilliant teaching and advice - I went to the Emedica Stage 2 and 3 courses, which were invaluable in helping me, achieve my top training post. I can't thank you enough for everything! All the information and advice you gave was really true and relevant, and I'm sure helped me to do better so that I got my first choice job. Thank you once again."

DR A N - GPST Entry Wessex Deanery 2011

"The courses I went to (Stage 2 and 3 preparation) were absolutely brilliant and I have no doubt they contributed a huge amount to my success. The actors at Stage 3 were very impressive and the role-play was the best way to practice our skills. Dr Rahman maintained a level of professionalism throughout the courses that could not be faulted. His knowledge in all things GP-related was extensive and relevant. Many thanks!"

"Dear Dr Rahman
Just wanted to let you know that I got my first choice hospital (UCLH) in the London Deanery. I attended the stage 1 -4 and stage 2 crammer courses which were both excellent. Your genuine passion and dedication was evident throughout the courses. Thank you also for all your supportive emails. With best wishes"

DR A A - GPST Entry London Deanery 2011

"I was successful in securing my first choice hospital/GP -ST rotation. Undoubtedly, this was in part due to the Emedica courses I attended (3in total - how to apply, Stage 2 Crammer & Stage 3 Crammer).However, a key part for me were your witty but wise pearls of wisdom throughout!"

DR M W - GPST Entry 2011

"I have done stage 2 and stage 3 Emedica courses in London and I definitely found them very useful. I think the content of the course was very good and to the point and I really found the role player communications very helpful. I would like to thank Emedica team for their help and support."

DR E S - GPST Entry East Midlands Deanery 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman,
I wanted to email to say thank you very much for your stage 2 GP entry course and for the following advice emails for stage 2 and 3. I am absolutely over the moon as I managed to get into my first choice Deanery, and subsequently gain a place in my first choice location within that Deanery. The course was fantastic, very succinct and extremely focussed and relevant. The tips and knowledge I gained, particularly with the written prioritisation task were invaluable and I genuinely don't think I would have been as successful without it. A lot of these prep courses charge a lot of money for very little content. The stage 2 one I attended was definitely worth every penny.
Thank you very much indeed."

DR C P - GPST Entry London Deanery 2011

"To all the team at Emedica,
I would like to thank you for all your help and support towards securing my first place deanery and hospital, without your help I do not think I would of got through! I would thoroughly recommend your GP courses to anyone who is thinking of applying for GP training!

DR R C -GPST Entry Wessex deanery 2010> "Dear Dr. Rahman and team, Thank you so much for your useful tips and guidance offered at your courses (!!<Stage 2 crammer and the Stage 3).I have been offered a rotation in 2010 August in the deanery of my choice (EOE) and in fact the hospital of my choice as well. I was doing locums for over 1 year and wanted to be a GP all my life. I would not settle into another specialty as I was not interested. I have been successful because your courses offered me the tips that made the difference, in this competitive selection. Thank you for making my dream a reality!"

DR DF - GPST Entry East of England Deanery 2010
