I could not recommend Peter more! He is an amazing teacher, very knowledgeable and very caring. He is an incredible asset to the Simply brand, and I very much look forward to the next session on the 27th January 2020. Thanks again!

The Apprenticeship journey was well set out and explained. We had excellent communication with Simply Academy and were able to adjust the course to suit our candidate perfectly. Whenever we or SA felt more help was needed, it was provided. The tutor was clear, knowledgeable and approachable, always ready to explain or provide extra support. From the beginning everyone at SA was clear and helpful and quick to communicate. Overall a very good experience which we hope to repeat.

Norman Cochrane (my Tutor) was so helpful and really great. I enjoyed working with him and he helped me through my R01 exam, coursework & End Point Assessment. Thank you Norman!! The study material provided by Simply academy was very beneficial, especially the mock tests. I found the mock test to be a good way to see what areas I needed to improve on.

Simply have been great from day one. Without their guidance I really wouldn't of been able to complete my course so quickly without them. A special mention to our trainer Jim as he has been fantastic. His knowledge of the subject allows him to answer any questions along the way. The staff at simply go our of their way to help where they can. Could recommend higher if you are looking to get into financial services

I could not ask for a better support than Jim Selley. He was always there to answer any questions i had and went above and beyond to assist us. Nothing was to big or to small and his knowledge was second to none. I would recommend him to anyone.

Paul was brilliant - no improvements whatsoever. I think the workbooks should be up to date though - it wouldn't take much work to make sure they are 100% correct and accurate considering how much people spend to come on these courses.

Response: Hi Claire, Thank you for your valuable feedback. Please note each year the syllabus is updated by our author and then cross checked by an industry expert prior to a further review by the awarding body to ensure the material is a suitable study resource for students to achieve the best mark possible. May I take the opportunity to wish you the very best in your exams and if you require any further support feel free to contact your course advisor on the details provided.

I feel that i have really learnt a lot in a short amount of time and have progressed so much more in my job role than i think i could have done without Simply Academy, I'm looking forward to my career in the financial services now.
