I would like to say a big thank you to all members of Simply Academy. I'm so grateful for all the support that I received especially from Phil, Paul, Margaret and everyone else I couldn't have done it without your help and guidance :) I'll miss everyone and thank you once again for everything. Kind regards, Waj

Absolutely loved Terry and the course itself although it felt like there was not enough time to go through what we needed to learn in enough depth and with enough time for a lot of it to sink in. Terry was an outstanding trainer who knew everything about everything. Really fun trainer, that kept a very in depth course light hearted as much as possible. He explained things well so that key points really stuck and was truly exceptional. With regards to the course overall, I had hoped to be ready to do my exam after the course but it became very apparent after a few days that there was a lot of stuff I would have to go home and study in more depth over more time to allow it to sink in due to the time constraints of the course and moving along quick enough to cover everything whilst also accommodating for the varying learning speeds of the group. I think the fast track option is great for someone who has some existing experience in the financial industry with a base knowledge but for someone like myself that is coming in with no knowledge or foundation there was not adequate time within the course to feel confident to walk away and do the exam straight away. Anyone planning to do the course, I would 100% recommend it as the experience was great, Terry answered all questions and explained things in ways you won't forget certain key points, but allow for plenty of post course study time to really consolidate knowledge before doing the exam.

Excellent course and glad i took part in this. It was a lot to take in, but Pat Greene was patient, informative and just simply excellent from start to finish - without him, i would not have passed both FSRE1 & 2 the weekend after finishing the intense course! Thanks again for everything Pat :)

Pat was brilliant and engaging. I think the only suggestion I would say is if you could do each unit over 3/4 days as opposed to the 5 days for both units, as it is quite heavy.

I did this as part of my DipPFS course and really enjoyed it. Dave explained everything in a clear way and took the time to answer questions. Looking forward to my next courses.
