Feel like it was just reading all the topics. However Pat was very clear and helpful. Great job 👍

I recently attended the R02 Investment Webinar with Simply Academy and found it to be very informative and well structured. The tutor, Dave, explained the key concepts clearly and provided practical examples that helped bring the material to life.

This course felt a lot less intense than CeMap 1 as it consolidated a lot of knowledge from that and put it more into practice with the focus on mortgages, which is a relatable subject. The course content was easily got through in the 5 days and felt challenging but at a manageable pace. As ever Terry was an incredible trainer. The course was a lot of fun even through the more difficult subjects. Terry has a way of mixing things up and lightening the room when everyone seems a little fried. He knows this course content inside and out and was able to answer all questions and give stories to help us understand things in a practical manner. 10/10 again!

I’ve just completed the FRSE course with Simply Academy for my apprenticeship, and it was actually really good. The trainer Pat explained everything in a way that made sense, and it didn’t feel boring. I came out of it feeling way more confident about the regulation side of finance and prepared for my upcoming exam.

Terry was an outstanding trainer with clearly a very high level and depth of knowledge and taught it in a way that was engaging, funny and genuinely interesting using great anecdotes as useful memory tools -- This fast track course allowed me to do the course mon-fri and have all three cemap 2 and 3 exams passed by the following tuesday -- overall 10/10 would recommend

I completed the cemap 1 FSRE fast track course online with Pat. He was great and really informative! I had no background in this industry but have been able to pass both exams with merits. Within 10 days of finishing the course.It is a lot to take on for the week and expect to dedicate hours after the calls each day to help the information sink in, but was overall worth it to knuckle down and get cemap 1 done! Will be signing up for the next section soon.
