DipFA® - The Diploma for Financial Advisers Reviews

The delivery window was too short. It was reduced from 5 days to 4 due to the Queens funeral, however, 5 days would also have been too short a time to deliver the content.

I really found the course useful and its a great help to have the recordings to look back on over whilst doing my coursework. David was very clear, knowledgeable, engaging and broke it down into easy parts to follow. I did feel the course might be better over 3 days instead of 2 as it felt rushed slightly in parts due to the time constraints so maybe this could be looked at for future courses. I also felt the breakout room section not that useful as everybody in the breakout group really didn't know much about the subject we were meant to be talking about so not much useful learning came from them and it just felt like slightly wasted time. I got much more out of David going over the specific area's and breaking it down for us.

I enjoyed the course, the structure and the way in which it was presented. I found David (our tutor) was really down to earth and easy to talk to. He was very helpful with anything we didn't understand and broke things down in a clear and concise way where any of the participants needed him to.

David was fantastic again. His knowledge and understanding of the financial sector is fantastic. Anything you struggle with, he can break it down into a way that you can under stand. Anyone going onto these courses, i fully recommend the packages that Simply Academy provide! Thanks again ! James North

Mauri was absolutely amazing. Have lots of patience and answered all our questions. Her way of explaining the terms or topics are very easy to understand.

David Beever was fantastic. His financial Knowledge and the way he presents is outstanding. any questions to him was answered and we all understood the response.

The course was great and David is awesome, but there was too much information to cover for the time given. More activities are needed to process the information - this would help both comprehension and retention. I'd recommend some input from someone who specializes in teaching and learning in putting together a more comprehensive course. I would recommend an online course that has set reading / video watching or other activities online, along side relevant tasks, discussions and exercises. These could work alongside the live input sessions.

David is a brilliant teacher. Prior to the course, I have no real financial experience other than personal investments and on reading the course study text I thought it was a minefield and did not understand much at all. I now feel I am at an able level through simplified learning and David made it much easier to understand. Bravo!

Very tough course but presented brilliantly by Dave. Kept it upbeat and has a vast knowledge which made it easier to understand the topics.

Dave is fantastic, very supportive and makes learning fun!
