FA2 Bootcamp Reviews

Darren was fantastic in the way the course was delivered. I am not someone who finds much benefit in reading a 300 page text book cover to cover as it can be presented in an unusual order. Darren was brilliant at breaking these down to a level that it made complete sense and the mix of slides, questions, and flip charts was absolutely spot on. I wasn't too confident on Monday morning how I would do in the exam however come Thursday afternoon when I sat it I felt very confident I was going to pass and that was down to the session that Darren delivered. I may look to undertake R01 or R04 in the future and hopefully Darren will be taking these courses as well.

Darren is very knowledgeable - this much is apparent with his delivery of this course. Darren is very approachable and breaks the material down into a clear and succinct manner. I like the way he uses real life experiences to bring things to life which makes learning all the more easier. Thanks once again for your support on these professional exams.

Darren is brilliant for making this easier to understand. Brilliant teacher :) Had him for FA2 and CF1 hopefully get a pass tomorrow on FA2 really good asset

The course and Eleanor were excellent, i do recognize it's a hard process to complete training online. But and excellent job was done, i am much more confident now than i was with just the book in front of me. The book is not the greatest, and i do not learn just reading from a book, i need to physically do something and to be able to question things don't quite understand. Many thanks, please pass on my appreciation to Eleanor

I thought the course went into enough detail and covered as much as we could in the time allocated. Eleanor kept the training enjoyable with a variety of different interactive methods used that meant the day flew by.

Darren did a great job at making things relevant and happily spent more time with anyone looking to go over things in more details. He was extremely patient and nothing was a stupid question. The course was done remotely which I was worried about at first however it felt more relaxed and less pressure than a course in the office. Would recommend remote courses in the future. Favourite part of the week - lunch of the day competition - good way to keep engagement and add a bit of fun.

Cannot recommend the trainer (Darren) enough. He made everything easy to understand and kept everything relevant to the material which really take it all in. He was available for additional support outside of the learning which helped on the day of my exam as I had a few questions.

Before attending the course I felt I had learned very little from the book. It was just words! I would read a page and not be able to recall what I'd just read. Darren was very engaging and understanding and was able to explain in simple terms the key concepts we needed. Great course.

Darren Slater is a pensions wizard!!! Outstanding support, makes dense and complex content accessible and always brings a 'can do' reassuring attitude - could not have passed this exam without Darren's support, the second professional qualification i've secured thanks to Darren!

Tutor was very engaging. Made me feel confident but challenged my answers to ensure my understanding
