CF1 Bootcamp Reviews

I found it really useful completing the course virtually, I actually preferred this to classroom training. Although I would have preferred to sit the exam at the office vs virtually,

The study course was really helpful. Darren is a talented trainer who has used different methods (stories, mock tests etc.) to make it easy for us to prepare for our CF1 exam. The atmosphere was good, Darren was flexible and he even made us laugh which has helped to reduce the stress. He explained the structure of the course beforehand and made us aware what we need to focus on in order to gain knowledge and pass the exam

A lot of content covered, well explained. Pacing of the delivery was very good.

really well run course, I liked that the course was split into group throughout the week to do our investigation. Padlet was really good to use and useful. thanks again I passed

The course and in particular Darren were great. Darren really made so many of the elements I had read and had not fully understood make sense. He had some excellent ways of remembering different things which definitely helped me in my exam. Being on Teams was much better than I imagined it would be and Darren did his best to make it as interactive as possible (eg. having his flipchart). Darren was always available before, after and during the breaks on the course to answer anyone's questions. Would 100% recommend this course.

Tutor (Darren) was fab. He brought everything to life with examples to help us understand. I really enjoyed the course

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and got lots from it. The way Darren structures the course is great and it is really engaging throughout. He is able to use his expertise to give hints and tips and also identify areas of particular focus. This was incredibly useful. The pace the material was delivered at was perfect too. The right level of information was given and there was always an opportunity to ask questions. It was a thoroughly enjoyable week which more than prepared me for my examination. Darren is a master of his craft and would recommend his services to anyone undertaking a CII examination. Thanks for all the support and encouragement, Darren.

Darren is great at what he does; from day 1 he made me feel at ease and brought the group in as collective which is hard given the current circumstances of remote activity. Darren broke the content down into manageable chunks with a test at the end which served to test knowledge appropriately. It was very succinct. I liked that Darren brought in real life experiences/examples which enabled you to fully grasp the learning. I didn't know what to expect to be honest but I am definitely impressed.

Found the course really useful. Darren managed to keep us engaged and discussed the information in a way that helped us get a better understanding of why the industry functions in the way that it does. Very pleased.

Completing this from home on Teams for the first time worked well. The break out rooms worked well too. I like this course was over 5 shorter days online rather than 3.5 days face to face in an office as I personally I feel I needed that length of time with breaks due to the amount of information we need to take in. I have been revising a lot around this, I personally need to revise for more than the recommended 60 hours as this is such a broad exam and mostly completely new to me. This course really helps to simplify complex subjects for us so we understand, talk things through, ask questions and give us tips. Eleanor was a fab tutor with all required knowledge and skills. I rated the course 4 stars because personally it would help me to be a bit longer.
