There were times when the topics discussed were not relevant to mortgages and more relevant to providing financial advice. Often it was required that we would just accept things were as they were instead of having an explanation. There were also times when questions outside of strict course content would not be discussed. Sometimes it can be helpful for candidates to obtain that broader understanding in order to grasp the concept at hand. At times the jokes were inappropriate.

Learning through laughter with Pete. I had a really enjoyable week even though it's a tough course to get your head round Pete has some excellent techniques that proved invaluable in the exam. Would definitely recommend.

Took the CeMap course and passed the exam first time. Which, I put almost entirely down to the methods and teachings of the course trainer Pete. He made what I regard a genuinely uninteresting subject relatable and in some cases enjoyable. Simply's admin and course details were also impeccable. But the majority of my gratitude goes to Pete. I will definitely be using Simply for CeMap 2&3.

Brendon has done a fantastic job across the whole ceMap syllabus. He came recommended to me by a colleague and he didn't disappoint. I sat my CeMap 2 exams today and received 3x distinctions and a merit. Wouldn't have done it without his help. He clearly uses his past experiences as a broker to bring real life scenarios to the table making it easy to nderstand and helps you look out for those tricks and devious questions that can catch you out. Top job, couldn't be happier with my studies. Thank you Brendon.

Venue was very cold, additional heaters had to be provided which was not ideal and the staff struggled to get the temperature up to an acceptable level. Other than that a good location. Brendan knows exactly how to get you prepared for CeMap, and I think the course was probably worth 10-15% on top of the mark I would achieve if I went the self taught route which could be the difference between a pass and fail. The tricky areas and pitfalls were all explained and how to avoid them and time and attention paid to the more complex areas and the ones which you don't come across in everyday practice. I'm probably being hyper critical but I was expecting a variety of learning methods to have been introduced to break the monotony of the text a d improve the understanding on different aspects of the course rather than just reading from a text book.
