Financial Services Apprenticeships Reviews

Have worked with Simply Academy for over 10 years now. In every instance I have been impressed. The study material is simple and easy for trainees to understand and the support for the apprentice is second to none. They are also there to support me as the principle with everything from recruitment to final sign off. I have and will continue to recommend them to everyone and look forward to working with them again very soon.

This course has taught me many things about finance and has allowed me to grow my industry knowledge and life skills in general. Everyone has been supportive in the office allowing me to learn from colleagues and to allow me to be independent and think for myself which has allowed me to grow to become an efficient independent worker

Support and guidance provided by Phil throughout proved helpful in ensuring a very successful outcome. Please note, there were no facilities or venue.

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

The overall course was wonderful for people trying to break into the financial services industry. My tutor Margaret was so helpful and ensure that I was fully supported every step of the way. I could not recommend Simply Academy any more.

I could not recommend Simply Academy more! I have just completed the financial administration apprenticeship, in which I completed the first of my Cemap exam. Steve, my tutor, and all of the Simply Academy team ensured I was equipped with the most adequate support and were super quick to answer all of my questions.

I have recently completed the Financial Services Administrator apprenticeship with Simply Academy. The support received through the entire apprenticeship has been amazing and I couldn't fault it. My tutor, Steve, was always on call to answer any questions which I found extremely helpful and was always there to support me through my exams even when I was struggling to pass and was able to provide me with various different techniques and the perseverance to carry on trying. Over the course of the apprenticeship I have gained many valuable and buildable skills which I will take into my role on a day to day basis and can expand as I develop my role further. I have also gained an industry recognised qualification to support my role in Financial Services.

Over the past 16 months I have been doing an apprenticeship in Financial Administration with Simply Academy. Within this, I have had many tasks to complete and workshops to attend, both of which gave me practical skills and real life experiences of financial services. Simply academy have helped guide me through the completion of an industry-recognised qualification in financial planning, the R01 exam. My tutor was great, she made the learning process so smooth and helped guide me through every aspect of my course, from helping me revise to helping me prepare for interviews. She increased my knowledge of financial services giving live examples to help develop my understanding of our industry. I don't think my development wouldn't have been as great if it wasn't for Simply Academy and so I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to start a career in financial services.

I found all the workshops very helpful especially the R01, my tutor increased my knowledge so much and I couldn't of passed my exam without her, I think I have definitely progressed quicker with simply academy than i would of done without.

I recently completed a 15-month apprenticeship in Financial Administration with Simply Academy, where I gained practical, hands-on experience working in a Financial Advisory firm. I also earned an industry-recognised qualification in mortgage advice. This program provided me with valuable professional experience and skills that have prepared me for future opportunities in the financial sector. The best part of the apprenticeship was working with Darren McDonnell. He struck a perfect balance between learning and having fun, which made the experience enjoyable and memorable. Thank you to you and the team for the past 15 months—it has massively changed my life for the better.
