Achieve CeMAP Success With Professional Training

Option 1: Group Classroom Training (intensive)

This is, by far, the most common training option available in the market, with most CeMAP training companies providing no other alternative whatsoever. Surprisingly, the usual format provided is a 5-day intensive course for CeMAP 2 & 3, followed by another 5-day intensive course for CeMAP 1.

Firstly, despite these companies giving advice to the contrary, CeMAP 1 should usually be taken before CeMAP 2 & 3, since the CeMAP 2 & 3 exams regularly include questions on the CeMAP 1 study material. Clearly, this is the reason the Institute of Financial Services (IFS),  which is the organization responsible for the CeMAP qualification, named the first exam CeMAP 1, and the IFS confirms that the exams should be taken in the logical sequence. Obviously, if you were to study and take CeMAP 2 or 3 first, how could you be expected to answer the questions that are drawn from the CeMAP 1 study material? The marks lost on topics you haven't been taught could be the difference between a pass and a fail.

Secondly, while the intensive method of training is appropriate for some delegates, it proves to be totally inappropriate for a significant number of others, for the following reasons. 

The IFS recommends that CeMAP delegates should spend between 40 and 60 hours of study on each of the three CeMAP modules. This is in recognition of the fact that each CeMAP module is considered to be broadly equivalent to an 'A' level, and we know that even the best students usually take two years to complete their 'A' level studies.

In view of this fact and the amount of content that must be covered in each 5-day intensive course, the CeMAP trainer has to drive the group at a rapid and fixed speed. Since most of us are not best suited to such intensive, high-speed learning, it is inevitable that a number of delegates find this speed too fast, leaving them totally unready for the exam by the end of the week's course. Unfortunately, these individuals are then left with the following choice. They either:

Clearly, in such circumstances, having hoped to achieve a pass with just 5 days of study, typically paying around £500 plus travel and hotel expenses, these delegates are disappointed to find that the ultimate cost could be much higher and their success could take much longer.

Although we have successfully trained many individuals through such intensive courses, we always make our customers aware of the risks before they enroll and, since we recognise that best practice requires a more appropriate strategy for many CeMAP training delegates, we also offer the two alternative learning options described below.
