I felt the teacher was not engaging with the class and just read the course material to us rather than explain and teach the subject

Response: Many thanks for your feedback, which has been noted. As I’m sure you will appreciate, it’s imperative that the CeRER Course Revision Guide is covered satisfactorily and some sections will, by their nature, necessitate reading with the delegate group. We recognise that interaction with the group is important and to this end we try and involve delegates by way of sample questions on powerpoint and exercises throughout the day. We’d like to wish you every success in your forthcoming CeRER examination.

The course was set out well. Glenn explained everything in simple terms and gave examples of most topics which made things easy to remember. Would highly recommend the course and Glenn. Was 100% easier than trying to study everything on my own.

I have never had a course like it. I know and he knows he's the best trainer. I can't say thank you enough for his delivery as was still saying his stories in the exam to remind me of the answers. Thank you Pete and all the best

Easy to book, very friendly and efficient telephone staff. The course was well structured considering how intense it was. Pete Slater was an excellent trainer encouraging student interaction, collective hard work and he made it a fun and engaging experience. Highly recommend the course. I took my CeMAP 1 exams today and achieved 44/50 on intro to financial services and 38/50 on UK financial services and regulation. Thanks guys :)

I have attended both CeMap courses and would highly recommend Peter Slater to anyone. I passed all CeMap exams first time. Not only did I pass but I feel I have a well rounded knowledge of finance now. Peter doesn't just teach you to pass the exam he wants you to be a good advisor.
