Great course, tutor is excellent and easy to recommend to others. Only small gripe is that the long lunches and early finishes. 9-3 some days with the best part of an hour for lunch. After paying a lot for the course, I think the 5 days could have been utilised better.

Pete was great, help me along the way and I passed which was the man thing. The revision material was ok however if jumped from section to section quite a bit. Also, would have been nice to have lunch supplied and the office to be open before 8.30 so I could have had more time reading over notes.

I was really nervous before I started the course, as it was something I'd never done before our tutor Peter made it simple fun and really easy to follow. I took my CeMAP 1 exam today and got a merit and a pass. It's because of the training provided by Peter.

My aim at the start of the Cemap 1,2 & 3 training was not just to achieve the Cemap qualification but to gain a better knowledge and understanding of the mortgage and finance market, and I achieved both. The qualification on its own would not have been enough. Pete's enthusiasm, industry knowledge and delivery of the training, combined with commitment and hard work, made the whole experience rewarding and enjoyable. Thanks and would recommend to others.

Venue was really poor, the room was small and the reception staff were miserable. we had trouble getting into the venue each day and a couple of people were left downstairs for a long period of time. had to ask daily to obtain coffee for breaks overall a poor experience

Response: Dear Lynsey Thank you for your valued feedback Rest assured your comments have been noted and we have contacted the venue to ensure the issues you encountered are not repeated. We are happy to see that the venue issues did not affect your overall training experience, may I take the opportunity to wish you the very best with your exams.

I think that some sort of role play or simulation to show how a mortgage advisor actually conducts an interview with a client would be useful. Also some more advice on job search. A meeting with a current mortgage advisor would also be very useful.
