The quantity of course content is really great, although sometimes it would be good to have more of an explanation behind the reasoning for the correct answers in both the tests and the specimen papers. One thing that should be looked into is some of the spelling/grammar is not great. for example; Unit1 Specimen Paper C, question 35 "Which of the following is the definition of an attorney? A person who:" - Answer D. "oves abroad but wishes to retain a decision maker in the UK." This is not the only mistake I have come across. It might be an idea to add maybe a link to the topic section the question relates to, so that you can read further into it if not fully understood. I found that some questions take quite a long time to give a right or wrong answer, not sure if this is due to internet speed or what but sometimes it can take quite a while before I'm told if the answer is correct or not. Other than that, David was great, giving lots of ways to remember some acronyms, facts and figures.

Recently attended Simply Academy's webinar to help me complete my exam for FSRE. The Tutor presenting the course was engaging, interactive and was happy to answer any questions I or students had during the sessions. After my webinar I felt confident to undertake my exam which I am pleased to say I successful passed. Thanks Simply Academy.

I recently completed my FSRE live webinar with Simply Academy. The course presentation and material provided to me on enrolment was easy to follow and understand. Dave who presented my course was engaging throughout the week with interactive discussions and providing plenty of opportunity to ask questions. After my course finished, having access to my course material helped me revise and prepare for my exam, which I am pleased to say I passed.

Luke Veevers presented the course in a structured way with scenarios that helped easily explain concepts. Some good exam technique preparation later in the week and emphasis on important aspects that would likely be tested

Great course, with a great tutor (Alan), the only note I would make was that it was unfortunate that we didn't get a simply package with all the materials like we did previously with CEMAP 1 ...like the exam papers printed out and the notebooks, where you could write a note next to an important point, down to what I can only imagine is to reduce costs. The venue however was great, everything was easily accessible and overall a great learning environment. The other thing I would point out is the fact the online documents wouldn't open unless you completed a unit, therefore we couldn't do any of the practice test papers until we completed the one before, which to me was an inconvenience, as someone who found certain units I was stronger in than the others and I would have to complete an entire exam before getting to the mock paper I needed. But overall, 8/10.
