Paul was a fantastic tutor, so full of knowledge with regards to the subject matter but also recommending exam tips and techniques. Made the course fun and enjoyable but we also covered a huge amount of information. Very patient with all our questions. Brilliant tutor cannot praise him enough.

Excellent course and Paul was fantastic. You could tell he had real passion about what he was teaching and that helped us to embrace it too and work hard. I've already recommended the course to several of my colleagues.

Pete was brilliant and was really great in his role. I was quite worried before hand as I haven't studied since my GCSE's, over 10 years ago. Pete has the ability to explain things in ways understandable to all while making it enjoyable with his teaching methods. Would highly recommend any course Pete teaches.

Could have used a bit more time on Unit 2 as even though I have passed the subject feels somewhat sketchy

More test papers and/or an app would give you 5 stars.

Fantastic, I would not hesitate to recommend Peter. Simply and their staff were extremely helpful, Maggie in particular helped to assist me on numerous occasions.

I have thoroughly benefited from this course. However I feel in some areas, the teaching and text books could be more simpler for people who are totally new to the subject. Also in text books would be beneficial for students for some more examples to be shown.

Having already sat the CeMAP 2&3 course with Alan downing I was very disappointed with this one. I am not at all confident that I will pass the exam. I felt that David did not have control of the students & often struggled to keep the discussion to the level of the course & the course content. He was not as informative as Alan Downing on how to sit exams & the exam technique itself. Having already sat the course for CeMAP 2&3 some of the content was the same & David failed to point out key points that come up in questions time & time again. At the start of the week myself & other students struggled massively to keep up with him because he flitted from subject to subject without warning & we would be mixing up information as he wasn't clear what he was talking about, he also mis understood students questions the majority of the time so a simple question took a lot longer to answer. He also flitted back & forward through the pages of the book with no warning so we couldn't even find the relevant subject. Although he got better on Wednesday & Thursday I already felt behind & feel that most of my learning has been done in my own study time & if I do manage to pass CeMAP 1 it will be due to my own hard work & information carried forward from Alan's course.
