I recently completed my FSRE live webinar with Simply Academy. The course presentation and material provided to me on enrolment was easy to follow and understand. Dave who presented my course was engaging throughout the week with interactive discussions and providing plenty of opportunity to ask questions. After my course finished, having access to my course material helped me revise and prepare for my exam, which I am pleased to say I passed.

The delivery window was too short. It was reduced from 5 days to 4 due to the Queens funeral, however, 5 days would also have been too short a time to deliver the content.

I really found the course useful and its a great help to have the recordings to look back on over whilst doing my coursework. David was very clear, knowledgeable, engaging and broke it down into easy parts to follow. I did feel the course might be better over 3 days instead of 2 as it felt rushed slightly in parts due to the time constraints so maybe this could be looked at for future courses. I also felt the breakout room section not that useful as everybody in the breakout group really didn't know much about the subject we were meant to be talking about so not much useful learning came from them and it just felt like slightly wasted time. I got much more out of David going over the specific area's and breaking it down for us.

David was very knowledgeable and had a well structured course laid out to explain how to tackle the coursework. My only complaint would be that we spent, what I'd consider to be, an unreasonable amount time discussing submission and plagiarism. I understand that others needed clarity on this topic but I feel this could have been condensed to allow more time to focus on the actual task.
