My trainer, Pat Greene, was amazing through both FSRE & MORT courses, i was extremley lucky to have him for both. He explained everything very clearly throughout and just made easy, what was already a very a nerve racking experience. Thanks again Pat for everything :)

Another great Simply Academy workshop. Very informative and engaging. Anthony was excellent, knowledgeable and easily navigated us through the complex structure of the RO4 syllabus.

The course was well-structured with plenty of interaction. The teacher was happy to provide additional support with specific questions and understood how different exam boards had different approaches. I would like the PowerPoint slides and practice questions from the teacher to be provided, as these are much easier and faster to go through than scrolling through hours of recordings, but the recordings themselves were provided so it's valuable to be able to refer back to them.

With no formal training or exams for over 20 years, no previous background in the finance sector, and having never even read the course materials before starting, I’m incredibly proud to say I passed FRE1 with Merit on Monday! 🎉 And today, Tuesday, I’m ready to take on FRE2. None of this would have been possible without Simply Academy. Seven days of full immersion in all things Financial Services Regulation and Ethics, with fantastic teaching, support and guidance throughout. It’s been intense, challenging and completely outside my previous experience — but what a way to prove that it’s never too late to learn something new! Thank you so much for giving me back some confidence!

Pat is great. I have done 2 courses with him now and can’t fault him. His years of real industry experience is nothing that can be taught and gives a great added layer of real life comparable to the context students are learning.
