Simply Academy Reviews

The course provided a useful introduction into the Financial Services Sector, and helped upgrade my administrative skills. The team at SA were always very quick in getting back to me with any questions that I had, and provided all of the study material for R01 that I needed to pass the exam. Special thanks to my wonderful tutor Norman for all the support and advice that he cheerfully gave me along the way, I couldn't have completed the apprenticeship without you!

Paul was excellent. He really brought the content to life which really supported our learning making the course really interesting! Well done Paul and thank you

I found my time with Simply Academy enjoyable. The course was well structured with sufficient supporting documents to help with my studies. The members of the apprenticeship team and my tutor were always willing to support. I cannot forget the CeMAP workshop being extremely helpful in my studies!

Excellent all round. Very intense for someone who hasn't studied for 40 years but knowledge built over the week. Paul was excellent, very knowledgeable and built confidence in through the week. Would highly recommend.

Mr Peter Slater was a great teacher bringing life to each topic making it relatable to a scenario. His style of teaching made every interaction enjoyable and educational.

David was very knowledgeable and had a well structured course laid out to explain how to tackle the coursework. My only complaint would be that we spent, what I'd consider to be, an unreasonable amount time discussing submission and plagiarism. I understand that others needed clarity on this topic but I feel this could have been condensed to allow more time to focus on the actual task.

Took CeMap 1,2&3 with Terry Bateman as the trainer. An unbelievably passionate and knowledgeable trainer with an adaptable style of training. I did two weeks, one after the other completing the course and passing the exams for 1,2&3 in about 4 weeks. I couldn’t have done it without Terry’s guidance. Something that can not be bought is experience and Terry has experience in abundance. Terry always gave the theory behind the subject and a live example of where it has been used or done which helps understanding much more than a flicking through slides of PowerPoint presentation just reading off slides could. If you want to not only qualify in CeMap but also fully understand the industry then Terry is your trainer. Terry has also made himself available after the course ends and has been supportive in answering any questions that came up. Overall a fantastic experience of which I would recommend. Thank you both Simply Academy and of course the superhero Terry.

I wouldn't have passed CeMap 1,2 & 3 if it hadn't have been for Simply Academy & in particular Alan Downing's style of teaching. First class and fun all round. Thank you.

Great support the whole way through. Thank you

Throughly enjoyed this training course. Terry was fantastic. Explained each section in plain English, answered questions and made it a very enjoyable virtual class room environment. Was always available before and after the days course for additional questions. Thank you. I am looking forward to the next course.
