CeMAP® - Certificate in Mortgage Advice & Practice Reviews

Peter Slater was the reason I passed my exam. He made the course interesting and ensured understanding throughout the class, taking into account all levels of learning.

I’ve just completed 12 days of webinars with David Beever across CeMAP 1, 2 & 3, and then equity release as well. All the way through he has been absolutely fantastic. I was worried when I booked that I wouldn’t get the same experience as training in person, but I needn’t have been concerned. He’s absolutely one of the best trainers I’ve worked with and I’m grateful to have been in his classes.

Cannot speak highly enough of Paul, he made the sessions fun with his stories, answered any and all questions we had, got through the material in good time. The only thing I’d mention is anyone who is completely new to finances/mortgages will not understand most of the jargon/terminology, so specific words could do with some further explanation.

Terry was very helpful and had very good knowledge about the subject.

The trainer was brilliant and study material provided is very helpful.

Dave was fantastic and really did help me pass cemap 1 as he focussed on what really mattered in terms of knowledge needed.

Excellent Trainer- the best trainer I have ever had. Only critism was that there was not enough time spent on unit 2 for some reason. We started unit two pm thursday and ended at 11am on the friday ? I only just passed unit 2 with a 70% pass but got 88% on unit 1.

The teacher was really good and made it really interesting, i would recommend the online live classrooms.

David was a great host, as he kept the learning fun and insightful. He had a big task of teaching 20 individuals that were not in the same room as him, so he did a great job with getting everyone involved. His real-life examples and stories were particularly useful and helped me a lot in the real exam. The structure of the course was great, as we had frequent short breaks and a nice long lunch break. There was no stress at any point and was a nice, relaxing experience whilst simultaneously intense. David made sure we had a customizable experience, meaning we wouldn't waste time on a topic we were all very confident with. The only downside of the course was the end of topic questions, where everyone would answer 3-5 topic-related questions in the chat function. As everyone's answers were sent publicly, the questions were not as challenging as the activity turned into a 'repeating the first answer sent'. It is a minor fault but perhaps a slightly more competitive tone could be adopted for this section, as I found myself sometimes turning the chat off and answering independently. Some end of topic questions were briefly skipped over, even when we had all put the incorrect answer - however I appreciate this may be due to time constraints. I feel like a great solution to this would be sending answers to David exclusively, to provide true answers from the students. Despite David's brilliant teaching method's, I wasn't a massive fan of the '0 right, 1 right, 2 right, 3 right or all right' approach. I found myself overthinking constantly about if it was a trick question or I was over analysing the question. Again, I feel this confused the chat more causing a chain reaction of answers. This had an adverse effect in my exam, as I felt I was tricking myself into thinking all answers were right. I appreciate David's 'master tip' of not changing your answers after answering them, and I believe this is what helped me ultimately pass my exam. I passed the exam with 2 Merit Passes and couldn't be happier!! Thank you David :)
