The trainer is energetic, helpful and has made the workshop a much more pleasant and fun way to learn. However, I don't think the course content or the study text in close match with RO2 exam, that's a pity.

It was good and I really enjoyed it - I liked how it was a smaller 'class' - Really liked David and thought he explained everything in depth. I really liked the last hour on the Tuesday when we went into smaller groups to answer questions - it was nice to have positive and constructive feedback from David.

Having already used Simply Academy I was looking forward to my next course. Dave teaching methods were clear, insightful, and full of practical advice. He explained complex concepts in a way that was easy to follow and immediately useful.

Course was great. However investment and fsre 3/4 day courses had the videos for 28 days. Retirement is only 21. I strongly recommend that is increased to 28 days

Attended Simply Academy FSRE webinar a few weeks ago. Firstly, the webinar is well-organised and engaging which allows you time to ask the Tutor presenting any questions you have during the course. The digital materials provided to me complement the sessions perfectly, offering comprehensive and detailed content that is easy to navigate. The Tutor presenting was knowledgeable and engaging which helped in preparing for my exam. Thanks Simply Academy.
