I could not recommend Simply Academy more! I have just completed the financial administration apprenticeship, in which I completed the first of my Cemap exam. Steve, my tutor, and all of the Simply Academy team ensured I was equipped with the most adequate support and were super quick to answer all of my questions.

I have recently completed the Financial Services Administrator apprenticeship with Simply Academy. The support received through the entire apprenticeship has been amazing and I couldn't fault it. My tutor, Steve, was always on call to answer any questions which I found extremely helpful and was always there to support me through my exams even when I was struggling to pass and was able to provide me with various different techniques and the perseverance to carry on trying. Over the course of the apprenticeship I have gained many valuable and buildable skills which I will take into my role on a day to day basis and can expand as I develop my role further. I have also gained an industry recognised qualification to support my role in Financial Services.

Over the past 16 months I have been doing an apprenticeship in Financial Administration with Simply Academy. Within this, I have had many tasks to complete and workshops to attend, both of which gave me practical skills and real life experiences of financial services. Simply academy have helped guide me through the completion of an industry-recognised qualification in financial planning, the R01 exam. My tutor was great, she made the learning process so smooth and helped guide me through every aspect of my course, from helping me revise to helping me prepare for interviews. She increased my knowledge of financial services giving live examples to help develop my understanding of our industry. I don't think my development wouldn't have been as great if it wasn't for Simply Academy and so I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to start a career in financial services.

I found all the workshops very helpful especially the R01, my tutor increased my knowledge so much and I couldn't of passed my exam without her, I think I have definitely progressed quicker with simply academy than i would of done without.

I recently completed a 15-month apprenticeship in Financial Administration with Simply Academy, where I gained practical, hands-on experience working in a Financial Advisory firm. I also earned an industry-recognised qualification in mortgage advice. This program provided me with valuable professional experience and skills that have prepared me for future opportunities in the financial sector. The best part of the apprenticeship was working with Darren McDonnell. He struck a perfect balance between learning and having fun, which made the experience enjoyable and memorable. Thank you to you and the team for the past 15 months—it has massively changed my life for the better.

Simply Academy provided me with the knowledge and practical skills needed to become a mortgage advisor. I am leaving the apprenticeship with a solid foundation to build upon in my role. I would like to give a special mention to Darren, my apprenticeship tutor, who guided me through my exams and went the extra mile in preparing me for all my assessments. I would also like to acknowledge Terry, one of the lecturers, who not only provided valuable insights into the industry but also shared some amazing jokes along the way.

The apprenticeship journey I had with Simply Academy was amazing from start to finish. Throughout the apprenticeship my tutor Bill was on hand constantly if I had any questions that needed to be answered. The structure of the crash intensive courses to the 1 day training were all up to a very good standard and they went into a lot of detail to ensure you are comfortable with what you are learning. I would like to say a big thank you to my tutor Bill as he provided me with so much support :)
