From the start of the apprenticeship until the finish I felt constantly reassured and knew there was someone always available to answer my queries when I had them. Linda (my tutor) was very understanding and without her I wouldn't have grasped some of the tasks as well. I am glad I did the apprenticeship and couldn't recommend them enough.

Overall, the apprenticeship as a whole has helped me better understand the job role that I will be fitting into and better develop my knowledge of the industry. My tutor was helpful in keeping me updated with assignments and helping me with feedback and answering any questions I had quickly and effectively. The exam aspects particularly helped me build my knowledge more so that I could perform my job much better following that. The assignments also helped me present my own point of view of the work I do, making it easier for myself to understand and even draw areas for improvement from. In conclusion, I'm grateful for the help i have had over the course and the experience I have gained as a result.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Simply Academy and my tutor Linda Press who have supported me throughout the Mortgage Adviser level 3 apprenticeship. Was very impressed with the fast track courses that I had attended for the ceMAP 1, 2 & 3 content. They have very knowledgeable and trustworthy people teaching the content. Had a great experience and have learnt a lot over the past 2 years!

This course (Mortgage advisor apprenticeship) has provided me with a great insight into not just the mortgage market but also the wider UK financial sector. I received excellent support from my tutor almost every week during my apprenticeship. The study material I got from the CeMap course was worth its weight in gold. Furthermore, the mock tests provided from simply academy were fantastic as they helped give me a great understanding of what the exams would look like. I am very grateful for the work my tutor Linda has done for me. Thanks!

The course provided a useful introduction into the Financial Services Sector, and helped upgrade my administrative skills. The team at SA were always very quick in getting back to me with any questions that I had, and provided all of the study material for R01 that I needed to pass the exam. Special thanks to my wonderful tutor Norman for all the support and advice that he cheerfully gave me along the way, I couldn't have completed the apprenticeship without you!

I found my time with Simply Academy enjoyable. The course was well structured with sufficient supporting documents to help with my studies. The members of the apprenticeship team and my tutor were always willing to support. I cannot forget the CeMAP workshop being extremely helpful in my studies!

After now completing My Mortgage Advisor apprenticeship, I can confirm all of my previous misconceptions of apprenticeships have been eridacated. The course and structure of learning have really allowed me to flourish in my role, and especially the online course material for my professional qualification which gave me the confidence when sitting my exams that i was going to pass. The regular contact i had with my tutor was also very beneficial and gave me the chance to discuss all matters and practice several skill areas. I would happily recommend apprenticeships with Simply Academy for all young aspiring financial professionals.

James Selley was my assessor and he couldn't have been more helpful during the course, nothing was too much to ask and he was very knowledgeable on the subject and exam layout.
