A good couple of days overall. The one thing I'd change would be more student involvement rather than the trainer leading throughout. I'd have liked to be engaged with tasks and exam questions directly, along with break-out rooms and working alongside other students. At times it felt like three days of mostly listening, and I think I'd have got more out of it with that hands-on element. Overall a great opportunity to focus on exam content for 3 solid days rather than a couple hours as and when time permits.

Excellent investment course with Dave. His clear explanations and practical examples made the content easy to follow and helped build my confidence in the subject.

The classroom environment is how I personally learn best and found great benefit from completing this course. I completed the FSRE course through simply academy as well and have since passed both of the exams in relation to it, thank you! Pat is extremely helpful and easy to learn from with great capability and knowledge on the subjects, he was able to answer all of our questions and queries in a digestible manner.

I have really enjoyed the FRE 1 and 2 and MORT 1 and 2 and ASSM courses I have attended through Simply Academy. Pat Greene was the course trainer for all of these and I found his teaching to be very effective. Having someone that has worked in the industry and can give real examples helped me hugely with understanding various concepts.

I recently attended the R02 Investment Webinar with Simply Academy and found it to be very informative and well structured. The tutor, Dave, explained the key concepts clearly and provided practical examples that helped bring the material to life.
