Simply Academy Reviews

I recently completed a 15-month apprenticeship in Financial Administration with Simply Academy, where I gained practical, hands-on experience working in a Financial Advisory firm. I also earned an industry-recognised qualification in mortgage advice. This program provided me with valuable professional experience and skills that have prepared me for future opportunities in the financial sector. The best part of the apprenticeship was working with Darren McDonnell. He struck a perfect balance between learning and having fun, which made the experience enjoyable and memorable. Thank you to you and the team for the past 15 months—it has massively changed my life for the better.

Simply Academy provided me with the knowledge and practical skills needed to become a mortgage advisor. I am leaving the apprenticeship with a solid foundation to build upon in my role. I would like to give a special mention to Darren, my apprenticeship tutor, who guided me through my exams and went the extra mile in preparing me for all my assessments. I would also like to acknowledge Terry, one of the lecturers, who not only provided valuable insights into the industry but also shared some amazing jokes along the way.

The course materials were extremely helpful and Terry was very thorough and clearly understood the industry extremely well. It would have been 10/10 for me if he used more powerpoint slides to illustrate the topics.

Terry was an amazing trainer! He made the online webinars as interactive as possible over zoom and I felt I was able to really take in the course content due to his teaching style and clear explanations.He couldn’t have been anymore helpful. I would definitely recommend using simply academy as the courses are excellent and the trainers are great. I have successful passed CeMAP 1 &2 first in time as a result and have my CeMAP 3 booked.

Very informative and Terry was fantastic and helping us understand and recall the material . I would recommend Simply acadamy Webinar over self study with no hesitation at all .

I’m not a native speaker. Came to England 2 years ago. I had a lot of doubts before the course that I can make it but after passing my first exam I realized that nothing is impossible and Dave gave me this confidence. Lectures weren’t dry and boring, a lot of tricks which help me to keep the information in my head. Thanks for your professionalism. Definitely would recommend your company. Kind regards, Hanna

The course was the best money I have spent on tuition for LIBF AFA modules. Cannot rate it highly enough!

The course was amazing and the training provided was outstanding. Luke was very helpful and anwered all our questions promptly. Surprisingly, with Luke's help and with the webinar I passed CeMap 1 in less than 7 days of studying, with no previous preparation apart from a brief read over the pre-course reading material. I strongly recommend the webinars if you need to pass your test quickly. I have enroled in the CeMap 2 and 3 webinar right after the first course and Terry has been amazing also - I am yet to pass the other 2 exams but I am confident I will have no issues doing so. The available materials were great and there are plenty resources available. I suggest making good use of the Specimen Papers and the mock exam questions, as they are structured in a very similar format to your actual exam questions. Could not have been happier with the service.

Luke was great when taking my CeMAP 1 course via webinar. He was very thorough and informative about the whole syllabus and assisted with any questions where needed which enabled me to pass my exams on the first attempt. Would highly recommend both Luke and Simply Academy.

had a great time during the webinar, David had a good presentation and made it easier to intake the information.
