Simply Academy Reviews

good teaching and helping me understand difficult subjects. course notes and print outs have been good for revision

I had alot of fun on this course. At the point of the exam on Friday afternoon I felt confident and calm, ready to get my Distinction. I liked Pete alot and found his ready wit and shocking jokes a welcome relief from the somewhat heavy syllabus. I choose Simply Academy as the course materials seemed to be the most interactive and easy to understand. I liked that the exam was available to be taken at the end of the week and going into the City everyday for a full days work lent gravitas to a powerful subject. From a teaching and learning perspective the amount of revision needed was considerable, and I'm not sure that was made clear in the pre-course details. The pace went quite fast, and probably too fast for those newly come to the industry or those learners who absorb best reflectively. For me as a 'lightning learner' the whole process worked well and I thrived in an active atmosphere, where there was very little longhand learning. I can see that this wouldn't suit everyone, and indeed, didn't within my cohort. As a development point you may consider offering post course revision days for those that need more time, or even a pre course session to signpost learning areas for added familiarity. I'm looking forward to coming back at the end of March for Modules 2 and 3, and testing my ability to apply my newly acquired knowledge. Thank you Pete.

Excellent engaging tutor who really knows his stuff; well worth the money.

Alan Downing is great, he has a massive knowledge of the mortgage process and brings the subject to life with his wealth of experience. I greatly admire his style of teaching and would recommend him to anyone considering the CeMap and CeRer courses.

Peter was brilliant. The content was all very relevant and the way he teaches makes you remember and learn things a lot easier than reading a book

Cannot fault the course or teacher; Pete condensed the subject matter hugely to include only what we needed to know, was an engaging and entertaining teacher, thus helping me to pass my first module with Merit. The facilities were comfortable and free tea/coffee was a much needed help with the early starts commuting to London.

Brendan is a great teacher, there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. Fab course!

Great teaching!

Undoubtedly been said before; Terry has huge amounts of experience and knowledge within our industry. As someone having to qualify themselves after being previously FPC qualified in the late nineties!; Terry made a huge difference to how I approached the exam (CeMap 1) yesterday; 6th February 2018.

Terry Bateman is an absolute credit to Simply Acadamy. Passed me CeMAP 1 exam yesterday and couldn't be more happy with the level of care he puts in to helping each one of his students. - Matthew Pickett (Threshold Mortgages)
