STEP Advanced Certificate in Administration of Trusts (England & Wales) Reviews

Very easy to register, and clear communication re course timings etc.

This was by far the worst CLTI course I have taken; it just felt nebulous and badly structured. The course material was often unnecessarily convoluted. In contrast, the online workshops were superficial, but the discussions around practice questions frequently digressed into irrelevant tangents. Several participants enquired about the examiners’ expectations, but no definitive answers were provided, which was frustrating. This issue is compounded by the examiners being unwilling to provide model answers, answer rubrics or a breakdown of marks, which limits transparency and clarity. Even though I passed, this course made me disappointed that CLTI has a monopoly over STEP exam education. Don’t waste your time or money if you have another option.

It was not always clear where all of the materials could be found, this should be made clearer at the start of the course.
