I was so glad to see it was Dave teaching again as he was super teaching me cemap 1 and was fab yet again at helping us to understand the course parts that were tricky and even adding in a song or 2 along the way. The slides were great but the moving parts on them delayed the training and were unnecessary even though nice to look at they didn’t add much value. Dave even stayed during breaks and after the session end times to make sure we understood parts giving up extra time so we could feel more confident going forwards. Would highly recommend the course and Dave -I have a different tutor for the next course but I’m sure he will be fab too. It’s not just about the course though I feel I have learned so much extra to take away in “real life” too so Thankyou very much for this.

I found my 3 day course highly informative. The tutor made the course engaging and easy to understand and was keen to share his knowledge.

I just feel it was rushed - those who have just started in the industry it was not catered for them it was catered for those who had already taken and were resitting the exam. I feel if it is being presented as the first it should be fresh and go over things in more detail 3 days is not enough.

Response: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt the course moved a little too quickly, and we appreciate you highlighting your experience. We’d like to reassure you that the course you attended does cover the full FSRE Unit 1 syllabus and is designed to support both learners who are new to the industry and those who are already working within it. As I’m sure you can appreciate, we do advise all delegates to complete some pre-study using the materials provided before attending, as this helps ensure everyone has the best possible chance of exam success and that the course content can be delivered effectively within the scheduled time. That said, we genuinely value your comments about pacing and the level of detail, and we will take this on board as we continually review and refine our training. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we wish you every success with your FSRE studies and exam.

The trainer (Dave) was so knowledgeable and always happy to help understand any questions anyone had.

The course was exceptionally well-structured and highly informative, thanks in large part to our trainer, David Beever. His depth of knowledge was outstanding, and he provided thorough, insightful answers to every question raised. David’s engaging delivery made the entire experience both enjoyable and educational. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone considering the CeMAP qualification.
