Brilliant course. Luke was very helpful with the whole process and knowledgeable. Only recommendation is that Unit 2 feels very rushed on the final day and there’s a lot of information in it.
Great teacher. However thought 1 week was far to short to cram everything into, specially as some parts we had to skip due to time. I have had to go back and go through a lot of the topics again due to the speed we went through them.
Probably needs to longer than 5 days. Felt like a lot of the topics and also the majority of unit 2, were brushed over/rushed. Had to go back and put extra hours of study in to make up for it. Also upon taking the actual Unit 1 & 2 exams, a good few of the questions asked were not covered in the training; alot of the questions were also written different in the actual exam to the LIBF mock papers provided which made the actual exam alot more difficult. All in all, it was a great course with a good teacher. Just some feedback to make it even better.
Overall I was happy with the course. My only feedback would be coming from a different sector I was ok with unit 1 as a lot of this I had experienced through my life but unit 2 was particullary hard being more about financial regulations etc. We only started unit 2 on the afternoon of day 4 and it seemed very rushed. Anyway I did manage to pass both units in the end. Scott.
Can i say, in 20+ years of being a part of training initiatives, whether that be inductions, company training or further learning like this, I have never come across a trainer as good or as engaging as Alan Downing. Absolutely superb. The only reason i give the course 4 stars is because the complexity of your end-of-unit questions, for a large portion, bare little resemblance to how they're written in the CeMAP exam with LIBF. This has thrown me massively when sitting the exam. certainly an area to improve on. Please let me reiterate, and I hope he gets to see this, Alan was fantastic 5*. Thank you Alan, you've been a great help in taking my journey forward. Ben Simmons
We almost had Unit 1 covered for 3.5 days and 1 day alone for Unit 2, which could have been better
Enjoyed the course. Was good to be able to ask questions & get clarification on some topics that I didn't totally understand. The practice tests we took at the course, helped to strengthen my confidence.
- Simply Academy need to update the pre-course readings. - There are lot of note taking so it is best to produce separate hard copy for students from trainer. This will make students save time and listen to trainer.
Some of the pre-course readings must be revised or updated with course trainer’s teaching slides.
