Paul was an exceptionally good trainer. Very knowledgeable and patient with our learning process. Managed to keep the learning interesting despite the dry material. I passed my CEMAP 1 yesterday so I am very happy.

Paul Valpy was a very knowledgeable and entertaining teacher, he worked at a pace that kept everyone involved, and he had lots of 'stories' to explain facts. I believe that he has given me the best opportunity to pass the CEMAP 1 exam. The Birmingham location was excellent with good facilities all around and ease of getting to/from, the only minor issue I'd have with the location was that it became very stuffy with no way of getting fresh air in, but only a minor irritant in the big scheme.

Paul was a great trainer. I was very pleased when I seen it was Paul who was my trainer, as he did a great job for my Cemap1. Some of the exam question don't have the correct answer in them which can be frustrating

Great venue. Great teacher, who made the subject interesting with various anecdotes and his sense of humour. Also enjoyed the various hot drinks, but would suggest another machine, as such is the demand it takes a while to serve everyone when on a short coffee break!

Fantastic Course. As for most other hard working/busy people a weeks 'intensive course' is the best way to learn. I have to say Peter's teaching style worked perfectly for me. He not only did he know his stuff, he brought a interactive and energetic approach.

I was sceptical before booking the course as to whether I would get any real benefit. I must say however the knowledge I have gained from the programme is priceless and I am now fully prepared for the day to day tasks I will face as a mortgage advisor, thanks Tracy for all your support!
