Cemap 1 is an intense course and has heavy content. Peter helped to break this content down by bringing sections to life in an easy to understand manner. Be prepared as it is a full on course and you must be prepared to put more time in in the evenings due to the amount of detail to cover. Great location, venue was very nice (great views of London from the coffee room) and a Pass with a Merit - I couldn't ask for much more!!! Cheers Pete and Simply. See you for Mod 2 & 3 in 3 weeks time.

I wish I had the chance to sit the exam on the Friday pm after the course. I was told I could book by end of Tuesday but that was not the case as it was already fully booked. So maybe, let other students know zbout this when booking the course so they don't get disappointed.

Had the same trainer as the CeMap 1 course which was great. Terry's knowledge of the course and industry is second to none. His delivery style fully engages you from start to finish. The course material was fully covered and relevant work and industry examples were presented to the class by Terry to reinforce the course material. A throughly enjoyable and informative week.

Please pass on a massive thank you to Pete Slater, I attended his course with no prior knowledge of mortgages or banking background.. He made it easy to understand, fun and gave me the confidence to take and pass my exams.

Hi, Brendan knows his stuff. He pitched the course well for all abilities, and was a personable, human face to the subject. The course material is dry, and could do with revision. Make the material more interesting in its layout and it'll be remembered better. The visuals don't lead to better learning. For example: the headings and subtitles seem to look the same, so it's difficult to see, at first glance, exactly what you're looking at. There is no colour in the course material. More graphs, and images might help. It looks like it's been produced in Word and printed out. Some of the course material could do with clearer sentences/explanations, however a majority is very clear. Brendan is very personable, and obviously knows his stuff. He has taught the syllabus many times. Overall, I'd be happy to recommend this course to anyone starting out in financial services. Tricia Elliott

Terry was superb. His knowledge and delivery of the subject matter was impressive and I have really appreciated the after course help received. Am looking forward to CeMap 2&3 next week.
