Simply Academy Reviews

Excellent course. Staff were really attentive and nothing was an issue.

Great equity release course with clear, well-structured content and helpful support throughout from Pat. It gave me a solid understanding of the subject and helped build my confidence. Highly recommended.

I found the course really useful. I originally studied CeMAP 1 with Simply Academy back in 2020 when I was just starting my journey into financial advice. Since then, I've managed to study independently and complete other qualifications myself, so I hadn't returned for any further courses. However, I was finding DipFA Investment more challenging to self-study, so I decided to give the course a go—and I'm really glad I did. David has a great way of making complex topics easy to understand and, more importantly, memorable. His teaching style is engaging, interactive and full of useful techniques for remembering key information, which made a real difference. I'd definitely recommend the course to anyone studying for DipFA.

Pat delivered an excellent Equity Release course that was informative, engaging, and easy to follow. The content was explained clearly, and real-life examples helped reinforce the learning. I left the course feeling much more confident in my understanding of equity release. Thank you, Pat, for a fantastic training session.

Was a great session and highly recommended as the coruse contetnt is much more streamlined and extensive in comparisson to the LIBF content

Have worked with Simply Academy for over 10 years now. In every instance I have been impressed. The study material is simple and easy for trainees to understand and the support for the apprentice is second to none. They are also there to support me as the principle with everything from recruitment to final sign off. I have and will continue to recommend them to everyone and look forward to working with them again very soon.

The course was very well structured and I have learned allot from the webinar. Overall I can’t praise simply academy enough for their help not just during the course but afterwords as well.

David knew his stuff and made it interesting plus interactive

Looked to be a comprehensive course - my first taste at both a Finance course and using Simply Academy. Easy to book. Appreciated having access to study materials several weeks ahead of the course. A very knowledgeable tutor, with a wide range of experience and many tips and tricks for remembering key points. Good at promoting interactions with attendees.

I am very happy with the course and very grateful to David for his support and guidance in preparing for the RO1 exam. David has a very engaging way of presenting information. He combines the more challenging facts from the books with interesting real-life examples, which helps keep everyone involved and makes the learning experience much more enjoyable. I also really appreciated how he explained complex topics using memorable diagrams and schemes on the whiteboard, making the information easier to understand and retain. My only suggestion would be to include more practical exercises with the group, for example on topics such as taxes, life policies, and other real-life scenarios. Overall, I am very happy with the course and feel much more prepared to take the exam - I have finally booked it! I would highly recommend this course to anyone preparing for the RO1 exam.
