Absolutely loved Terry and the course itself although it felt like there was not enough time to go through what we needed to learn in enough depth and with enough time for a lot of it to sink in. Terry was an outstanding trainer who knew everything about everything. Really fun trainer, that kept a very in depth course light hearted as much as possible. He explained things well so that key points really stuck and was truly exceptional. With regards to the course overall, I had hoped to be ready to do my exam after the course but it became very apparent after a few days that there was a lot of stuff I would have to go home and study in more depth over more time to allow it to sink in due to the time constraints of the course and moving along quick enough to cover everything whilst also accommodating for the varying learning speeds of the group. I think the fast track option is great for someone who has some existing experience in the financial industry with a base knowledge but for someone like myself that is coming in with no knowledge or foundation there was not adequate time within the course to feel confident to walk away and do the exam straight away. Anyone planning to do the course, I would 100% recommend it as the experience was great, Terry answered all questions and explained things in ways you won't forget certain key points, but allow for plenty of post course study time to really consolidate knowledge before doing the exam.

It was useful. My only issue is the lack of breaks. I cannot just sit and listen to someone talk for 2.30hrs without a break, my mind goes numb. Having only 3 breaks throughout the day for learning is not okay. I feel like incorporating a 10 min break every hour or more frequent breaks could make this workshop a lot more worthwhile

Course and trainer were great. It would be even better if there were more testing materials.

Course was excellent! My Tutor Anthony explained everything really clearly and kept the session engaging throughout. The content was easy to follow, practical, and very helpful. I came away feeling much more confident and ready to take my exam.

A great course with a fantastic tutor. The trainer was knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to explain things clearly. No question ever felt like too much trouble, and he created a supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable asking for help or clarification. That said, I did notice that some participants were asking for personal financial advice during the sessions. While the tutor handled these situations very professionally and responded appropriately, it’s important to remember that this isn’t the right setting for that kind of discussion. Overall, the course exceeded my expectations—I gained a solid understanding of the material and achieved a higher grade than I anticipated. A really valuable and positive learning experience

The trainer was great, had a wealth of experience. The course was structured very well. It is very easy to get overwhelmed with the coursebook you get from libf however the way the course material is broken down in this course makes it a lot more manageable and easier to consume.

I did the CeMAP Moldule 1 course and the trainer was Mr Luke Veevers. The traing was excellent, professional and quite useful and helped a lot in passing my Module 1 exams. I would like to give Five stars for Mr Luke Veevers in overall rating, teaching ability and understanding of the subject matter. I missed to complete the course check survey. I have the same opinion about my CeMAP module 2 and 3 trainer Mr Terry Bateman. The whole Simply Academy team is excellent and easily approchable and quite helpful.

Really enjoyed the whole experience. It was fast paced and at times quite hard for a complete novice like myself, but I feel well equipped to move on with my studies and sit the exam in a couple of weeks time.

The questions where a bit complicated in the webinar, but when Luke explained the material and used examples I found that I was able to build an understanding. I am incredibly nervous about my exam so getting the webinars was important to me, but they weren't available until Monday. It would have been perfect to watch them over the weekend. Thanks
