I had the pleasure of having Linda Press as my tutor and I couldn't recommend her more, even through the first lockdown Linda was committed in providing me the best support via facetime/telephone and I couldn't have progressed and succeeded as much as I have without her! I passed my RO1 exam within 3 months and continued to finish my apprenticeship with a distinction, my full apprenticeship was completed within 14 months and I couldn't be happier with the results!

I have just completed my Level 3 Apprenticeship in Financial Services Administration. I found Simply Academy to be helpful and professional. They always responded to any queries I had on time, and provided relevant guidance to enable me to complete my apprenticeship. My tutor has been amazing, supporting me through my journey. His advice has been invaluable and he was extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of the examination.

The Apprenticeship journey was well set out and explained. We had excellent communication with Simply Academy and were able to adjust the course to suit our candidate perfectly. Whenever we or SA felt more help was needed, it was provided. The tutor was clear, knowledgeable and approachable, always ready to explain or provide extra support. From the beginning everyone at SA was clear and helpful and quick to communicate. Overall a very good experience which we hope to repeat.

Norman Cochrane (my Tutor) was so helpful and really great. I enjoyed working with him and he helped me through my R01 exam, coursework & End Point Assessment. Thank you Norman!! The study material provided by Simply academy was very beneficial, especially the mock tests. I found the mock test to be a good way to see what areas I needed to improve on.

Simply have been great from day one. Without their guidance I really wouldn't of been able to complete my course so quickly without them. A special mention to our trainer Jim as he has been fantastic. His knowledge of the subject allows him to answer any questions along the way. The staff at simply go our of their way to help where they can. Could recommend higher if you are looking to get into financial services

I feel that i have really learnt a lot in a short amount of time and have progressed so much more in my job role than i think i could have done without Simply Academy, I'm looking forward to my career in the financial services now.

Overall I have really enjoyed my apprenticeship. It was a great experience for me, I had an incredible tutor who helped me through every step of the way and had detailed materials to use. With the help and knowledge that I have gained from Simply Academy I am now going to start a new journey being a Mortgage Adviser.

I thoroughly enjoyed my apprenticeship with Simply Academy. I found the e-learning a really useful resource to use when studying for R01, as well as the revision workshop, they were both informative and easy to understand.
