The course is clearly laid out, the tutors and support staff are brilliant and very caring. Every member of the Simply Academy team are incredibly understanding and patient, which makes the entire apprenticeship a lot less daunting. I massively appreciated the effort and time commitment from Stacey Jones and Paul Allen respectively, their commitment to me gave me the confidence and belief I needed to follow through with the apprenticeship all the way to the end. Their efforts were beyond admirable.

I had great support throughout my apprenticeship from Stacey (before she left) as well as Paul. This support helped me achieve a distinction comfortably and I would definitely recommend Simply Academy to anyone else undertaking the same apprenticeship.

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 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.

Overall the apprenticeship was helpful, especially as someone completely new to the industry. There was plenty of support from Simply Academy, in particular from my Tutor, who was always on hand to help. Certain parts of the course seemed a bit unnecessary at times, but overall this was a very helpful course.

Simply Academy provided me with support throughout my apprenticeship, especially during my preparation for the CF1 exam. I attended a one week revision course hosted by Simply Academy which helped me to reinforce my knowledge and ask any questions that I had. My apprenticeship tutor was very approachable and I felt that I could contact her if I ever had a query about the coursework or any of the content that I was studying.

I found that the course was overall very good and helped me gain an understanding about the industry, however I do think that some of the assignments were very repetitive and I found myself writing similar things over and over again. Maggie was brilliant throughout - she was always very supportive and helped me out as much as she could.
