A lot of information to take in, but the tutor Dave put all our minds at ease. The support staff were also amazing, especially Daniel.

This is the 4th webinar that I have attended for my DipFA course. Like my previous sessions, the tutor was brilliant and was passionate about passing on his knowledge to us. I feel much more confident with my exam next week.

It was good and I really enjoyed it - I liked how it was a smaller 'class' - Really liked David and thought he explained everything in depth. I really liked the last hour on the Tuesday when we went into smaller groups to answer questions - it was nice to have positive and constructive feedback from David.

The course was really good and Dave was excellent at delivering the content as well as giving us useful tips throughout. Dave has an interest in making sure we are well prepared to be advisers and not just reading the slides out. He made very dry material become digestible and engaging; with his humour, things will definitely stick. Overall really good and cannot wait for the next.

I really enjoyed my R02 course. The trainer was excellent. Highly knowledgeable and had loads of experience. Not only that, the trainer made the course very interactive and in a fun way. I found the material really easy to read through as it was broken down and explained really well. I would recommend attending a course with SA, especially if David is leading the sessions! 10/10
