The content was good on the learning events and webinars, but overall there wasn't much interaction with other students on the course or any other coaches, other than a half an hour tutorial every 3 weeks.

Found that the webinar , the RO1 one i did, was not engaging at all as we all had cameras off and mics muted unless specifically asked to speak. Most questions were told to be answered in the chat box and it was a 5 day course so that format did not work well at all. Very disengaged. I also would have liked to know more about how the EPA was structed prior to being weeks away from completing it as the evidence body was hard to complete when I didn't know i needed to be collecting any. I think there also should be a way for apprentices to communicate with each other better as i found i was very isolated when joining a office environment at 16. My Coach did do well with supporting me with my RO1 exam and they did accommodate me taking this early which was appreciated.

It was a really insightful course and Alan who did my CeMAP 1 was so understanding and broke things down into manageable chunks.

I found some of the work given to me wasn't always relevant to the course I was on, so at times I was questioning why I needed to complete it. That being said the support and help I received from my tutor, Margaret Bloor, was exceptional. She was understanding and supportive at all times.

Simply Academy is a great course for learners to learn about the mortgage market, especially for people who have a little understanding about mortgages and the market currently. The trainers are professional, friendly and have been very helpful throughout the whole process.
