Darren my tutor was really good and I'm glad I had him throughout the process, as we had many discussions over the course of the apprenticeship that made me a better advisor as a whole. There were some tasks which I had to do which I did not find much benefit from, but I believe this is the content which they had to include on the apprenticeship, so not a negative reflection on Simply Academy.

My tutor Bill very knowledgeable and helpful and was available if ever I needed support. This allowed me to pass my CeMAP and achieve my apprenticeship.

Darren, my tutor, has been brilliant throughout the whole apprenticeship. He really pushed me to learn and really brought the best out of me, whilst making the whole apprenticeship enjoyable. The whole process with Simply Academy was easy and it really did help me with not only moving through my exams but also assisting me with the confidence in my career progression.

Fantastic. CeMap courses 1,2 and 3 were great and i could not fault the teacher one bit he helped ever so much and made it all so simple. Paul was great. Apprenticeship overall again very good and a fantastic teacher in Darren, he isn't only your teacher but a mate you can turn to and chat anything about. Very challenging but enjoyable and glad to see hard work has paid off to create my own pathway. 100% recommend.

Throughout my apprenticeship I was provided with constant support from Simply Academy and my tutor Stephen Bloor, especially during my preparation for the R01 exam. I was always properly informed of what was expected of me at each stage and my tutor was always there to help with any questions I had.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my apprenticeship with Simply Academy! My tutor, William Beattie was amazing and was there every step of the way, helping with any concerns or queries I have had. I feel I have had great support through the whole apprenticeship from William and the rest of the Simply Academy team, keeping me updated throughout. I would definitely look to do any future training with Simply Academy and will be sure to recommend.

The course was great and my trainer (Darren McDonnell) was so helpful in developing me within my role. He would always sacrifice time and be willing to help whenever. Can't recommend Simply and Darren enough. Great service.
