From start to finish the entire experience was fantastic, the office staff were always on hand to help, the course work emails and literature were extremely comprehensive and couldn't have asked for more. Everything was explained extremely well and very easy to navigate coursework and links etc. A special thanks to David Beever who was amazing, very knowledgable and patient. I passed my CeMap 1 today with 84% Merit to good stuff. Onto CeMap 2/3 and will be booking the advisor course soon. Thanks to everyone at simply, keep up the good work.

This course (Mortgage advisor apprenticeship) has provided me with a great insight into not just the mortgage market but also the wider UK financial sector. I received excellent support from my tutor almost every week during my apprenticeship. The study material I got from the CeMap course was worth its weight in gold. Furthermore, the mock tests provided from simply academy were fantastic as they helped give me a great understanding of what the exams would look like. I am very grateful for the work my tutor Linda has done for me. Thanks!

Absolutely fantastic, cannot recommended the course or Alan Downing enough. A truly amazing gentleman. You can tell he really thrives off helping students to learn and develop.

so I have just finished my third exam and have now passed all of them. I would like to add that I passed 6 of the 7 units first time and the only one I failed was by only one question due to the outstanding teacher Terry Bateman. I would like to say thank you specifically to Terry as he was very helpful and was more than happy to stay behind after courses and would arrive early in case you had anything in particular that you needed help with. Terry has been brilliant not only with his knowledge and teaching abilities but also with his extreme passion for the financial industry. It has made me have faith that I have have chosen the right career path and I can only hope that in the future I will love this industry as much as him. thanks again Terry, Jamie Risk.

The course provided a useful introduction into the Financial Services Sector, and helped upgrade my administrative skills. The team at SA were always very quick in getting back to me with any questions that I had, and provided all of the study material for R01 that I needed to pass the exam. Special thanks to my wonderful tutor Norman for all the support and advice that he cheerfully gave me along the way, I couldn't have completed the apprenticeship without you!

I found my time with Simply Academy enjoyable. The course was well structured with sufficient supporting documents to help with my studies. The members of the apprenticeship team and my tutor were always willing to support. I cannot forget the CeMAP workshop being extremely helpful in my studies!

Excellent all round. Very intense for someone who hasn't studied for 40 years but knowledge built over the week. Paul was excellent, very knowledgeable and built confidence in through the week. Would highly recommend.
