I really enjoyed the course. Dave the trainer was excellent. The course fully prepared me for the exams which I passed 1st time and definitely wouldn’t have if I hadn’t completed this course 1st. I would definitely recommend.

I could not recommend Simply Academy more! I have just completed the financial administration apprenticeship, in which I completed the first of my Cemap exam. Steve, my tutor, and all of the Simply Academy team ensured I was equipped with the most adequate support and were super quick to answer all of my questions.

I have recently completed the Financial Services Administrator apprenticeship with Simply Academy. The support received through the entire apprenticeship has been amazing and I couldn't fault it. My tutor, Steve, was always on call to answer any questions which I found extremely helpful and was always there to support me through my exams even when I was struggling to pass and was able to provide me with various different techniques and the perseverance to carry on trying. Over the course of the apprenticeship I have gained many valuable and buildable skills which I will take into my role on a day to day basis and can expand as I develop my role further. I have also gained an industry recognised qualification to support my role in Financial Services.

Over the past 16 months I have been doing an apprenticeship in Financial Administration with Simply Academy. Within this, I have had many tasks to complete and workshops to attend, both of which gave me practical skills and real life experiences of financial services. Simply academy have helped guide me through the completion of an industry-recognised qualification in financial planning, the R01 exam. My tutor was great, she made the learning process so smooth and helped guide me through every aspect of my course, from helping me revise to helping me prepare for interviews. She increased my knowledge of financial services giving live examples to help develop my understanding of our industry. I don't think my development wouldn't have been as great if it wasn't for Simply Academy and so I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to start a career in financial services.

The trainer is exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced, his workshops are intense but engaging and interesting. He also has a capability to read the students and understands how they learn. He adapts the teaching if needed to ensure everyone has understood the content. He is by far the best trainer I have had so far and the learning I obtain from the workshops extends wider than just the content of the book.

Fantastic course! Dave was approachable, easy to talk to, and always ready to help if you had trouble understanding anything. I will be back to do the rest of my training with Simply Academy.
