Paul was great. The stories which explained the products in simple terms helped immensely during the exam!

I thoroughly enjoyed the CMAcert online course. I could fit it in around my current job, and being able to work on the course on my iPad was helpful. This is a completely new industry to me and this course has taught me so much to help in my new job. I would definately recommend the course to other people. Thanks again Simply!

This is my second course I have attended with Terry. He is an excellent trainer. He relates facts and brings the meaning to life. I would highly recommend him. Disappointing that we had a detractor student in our group that made the dynamics difficult. He was trying to undermine Terry at times. But like a professional Terry addressed the situation. Cannot thank Terry enough for all his knowledge positivity and encouragement.

Peter Slater is an amazing trainer with an unbelievable amount of knowledge! Any questions we asked he was able to provide an in depth, easy to understand response. He kept those in the room engaged and upbeat. Only suggestion to be made would be to change the times of the course and exam. The exam on Friday at 3pm meant you were drained from the week and then a day of training. 12pm would have been much better in my opinion. Great course and great trainer. Looking forward to doing my CeMAP 2 & 3 with Peter and Simply Academy.

I would have preferred the course to start at 9 as we were all there early. Peter was a great course trainer, his stories and how he brought it all together made the material stick in my mind

9 to 4 would be much better than 10 to 5. Also the exam on a Friday being 3pm is also late. Should be 1pm ish early afternoon. Peter was fantastic though and helped me pass my exam.

An excellent course. The tutor, Pete Slater, brought a difficult subject to life and helped create an understanding of the structure and information that went beyond the basic remit to pass the exam. I would highly recommend this course, and especially this tutor, to anyone studying for their CeMAPs.

Compliments CeMAP and is much more interesting. The finding your client unit alone is worth it's weight in gold! special thanks to Maggie who was always on hand with support.

Terry took a little bit to warm up, but was very good overall. I felt that he taught us some different memory strategies and was very good at picking up what was needed from the students.
