Simply Academy Reviews

This is now my third course with yourselves and i found this one to be the most confusing. I appreciate this is the course with the most moving parts but the solutions were not, to my mind , the MOST appropriate for the client I have enjoyed the learning curve and most certainly could not have achieved any where near the level of knowledge without David's patience and teaching skill let alone his patience I would use the courses you offer, once qualified to level four, as ongoing professional development perhaps in the field of trust work and pension specialisation Thank you once again

The apprenticeship journey I had with Simply Academy was very good from start to finish. They structure all your learning throughout your time with them so that you can easily plan for the upcoming tasks you have ahead. My tutor was extremely helpful when studying for my exam and helped me to pass this. I believe I am now better prepared to work in the financial industry and I would highly recommend SImply Academy.

very inconsistent on testing, some test shows correct results even when mistakes are made, some not and other one provides even full explanation, what make it even more annoying is when you have to go through full test several times just to find out the correct answer to the question

Overall the apprenticeship was helpful, especially as someone completely new to the industry. There was plenty of support from Simply Academy, in particular from my Tutor, who was always on hand to help. Certain parts of the course seemed a bit unnecessary at times, but overall this was a very helpful course.

If it wasn't for my tutor I would have really struggled

Really enjoyed my journey with Simply Academy. My tutor, Darren really helped me throughout my journey and massively helped develop my knowledge of the financial services industry. Would highly recommend to any student.

Thank you so much to Simply Academy, I dealt with Steve Bloor, he was great and always kept me in the loop, was always there to help with any extra questions I had. So happy with my qualification. Thanks guys!!

First of all Terry was a really knowledgeable, lovely guy. I liked how he told story’s to bring the subject to life. I liked the content of the course, what I struggled with was I found it very tell. The course description said it would be interactive however I didn’t find this the case. Maybe for future courses, placing learners into virtual breakout rooms with scenarios or questions to work through. Perhaps the trainer could ask direct questions instead of all of them being airshot to keep the learners engaged? These are just examples where I think it could be improved, however I and my other 3 colleagues that were on the course did pass our CeRER and the course definitely helped that result. Many Thanks

Simply Academy provided me with support throughout my apprenticeship, especially during my preparation for the CF1 exam. I attended a one week revision course hosted by Simply Academy which helped me to reinforce my knowledge and ask any questions that I had. My apprenticeship tutor was very approachable and I felt that I could contact her if I ever had a query about the coursework or any of the content that I was studying.

Terry was a personable trainer with a wealth of experience and a genuinely lovely person. A think a bit more of a set up of ensuring people know or have access to the zoom tools and know how to engage virtually in whatever way works for them on their device. Would have been good to get more engagement with the others in the course and make us work together to learn. Also more engagement in the quizzes (rather than just a few people answering every question?). Loved the specimen papers and the pre course workbook was good too
