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.

I really enjoyed the course, it really helped clarify what was important instead of reading the giant book. David made it as fun and interesting as he could and he was a great laugh, I felt a bit sad on the last day that it was all over 😅 the teaching/course does feel quite fast and too intense sometimes, but I understand you have a lot of material to get through. I wonder if an extra day or so may help? Or an aftercare forum where people can post questions and trainers answer sort of like on the LIBF? But I understand that they have things to move on to aswell. Overall great though and very helpful. Would recommend.

Really enjoyed the course. i came away with a greater understanding of the topic and what i needed to do to completed the necessary coursework. prior to the course, i felt very overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. Thank you to Dave for making it fun and interactive and for explaining things thoroughly and giving everyone the opportunity to ask questions so that we could get the best out of the course.
