Financial Services Apprenticeships Reviews

Alice L, 19 Dec 2024

I recently completed a 15-month apprenticeship in Financial Administration with Simply Academy, where I gained practical, hands-on experience working in a Financial Advisory firm. I also earned an industry-recognised qualification in mortgage advice. This program provided me with valuable professional experience and skills that have prepared me for future opportunities in the financial sector. The best part of the apprenticeship was working with Darren McDonnell. He struck a perfect balance between learning and having fun, which made the experience enjoyable and memorable. Thank you to you and the team for the past 15 months—it has massively changed my life for the better.

Simply Academy provided me with the knowledge and practical skills needed to become a mortgage advisor. I am leaving the apprenticeship with a solid foundation to build upon in my role. I would like to give a special mention to Darren, my apprenticeship tutor, who guided me through my exams and went the extra mile in preparing me for all my assessments. I would also like to acknowledge Terry, one of the lecturers, who not only provided valuable insights into the industry but also shared some amazing jokes along the way.

I would highly recommend Simply Academy for apprenticeships. They have a great course structure and assignments that truly support you in the workplace and help you gain knowledge and skills. There are various course materials which are very useful and your tutor uses teaching techniques that best suit you. I felt prepared and confident for my exam which I passed first time.

The apprenticeship journey I had with Simply Academy was amazing from start to finish. Throughout the apprenticeship my tutor Bill was on hand constantly if I had any questions that needed to be answered. The structure of the crash intensive courses to the 1 day training were all up to a very good standard and they went into a lot of detail to ensure you are comfortable with what you are learning. I would like to say a big thank you to my tutor Bill as he provided me with so much support :)

The apprenticeship went really well. My tutor was incredibly supportive and was on hand to answer any questions I had and to guide me through learning points in order to achieve my goal. The course material and webinars were very accessible and extremely useful in the learning process. The 2 5 day CeMAP courses were a great help to me passing the CeMAP qualifications first time round. all in all a great experience and look forward to moving on in my carer.

The apprenticeship journey I had with Simply Academy was very good from start to finish. They structure all your learning throughout your time with them so that you can easily plan for the upcoming tasks you have ahead. My tutor was extremely helpful when studying for my exam and helped me to pass this. I believe I am now better prepared to work in the financial industry and I would highly recommend SImply Academy.
