Great course! really helped with my exam

I was initially booked onto the Simply Academy classroom Cemap 1 course but unfortunately this could not go ahead so I was offered the transfer onto the webinar sessions. Initially I was very sceptical whether this delivery mechanism was suitable for me as all previous learning I have undertaken was face to face in a classroom format. I must admit though after attending the course and the ease in which it was delivered without the hassle of having to commute to a classroom was fantastic and made the learning experience of better quality. After my initial course I had no hesitation in booking onto the CeMap 2 & 3 webinar course and would highly recommend this course delivery method. The course overall was excellent and the tutelage from Dave imparting his Real world experiences gained from numerous years within the industry was invaluable. This insight into the industry from pre and post FSA and MCOB standards helped to make complex subjects easier to comprehend delivered in a fun and informative way, the little tips were especially helpful. I passed all 3 exams on the first try which I believe I would have really struggled to do so without attending these webinar sessions due to my background not being from the financial sector. A big thanks to both Simply Academy and especially Dave.

Genuinely really enjoyed this course, I’d read some poor reviews beforehand but couldn’t be further from the truth. David, the course trainer was engaging and extremely knowledgable. He was approachable and extensive in his efforts to ensure you enjoyed your learning and understanding. The team behind David were extremely helpful and supportive also. Their admin was fantastic and they provided fantastic communication throughout if needed. Thank you, James D.

I wish the course trainer could stay on the topic and cover the breadth and the depth with appropriate examples rather than his personal, would be great. I wish specimen Q were a bit more and closer to what the actual exam pattern is.

I thought David was exceptional, very knowledgeable and he encouraged everybody to get involved - he didn’t leave anybody out and was happy to answer questions. This inclusivity combined with his humour and clear explanation of topics (e.g. clever techniques to remember things) was brilliant - he is a credit to the business.
