Diploma For Financial Advisers (DipFA)

Simply Academy is a leading provider of financial educational services. We design and deliver training solutions for individuals and corporate clients across the world.

It all began with a vision. Chief Operating Director, Peter Lingley, and Apprenticeship Director, Mark Fenwick, realised there was a gap in the market for something extraordinary. There was a need for a quality assured training school which specialised in the financial sector. In 2006, they decided to open such a school and Simply Academy was founded.

Back then, Simply Academy consisted of a tiny office and a small but dedicated team. However, it wasn’t long before the news spread that there was a new training provider who delivered fantastic results backed by great customer care. As the company’s reputation grew, so did demand for courses and Simply Academy has been growing since then to keep up with demand.

The specialised financial services industry has evolved over time, with an ever increasing emphasis on regulation. In turn, we have evolved to cater to the needs of the industry. It takes dedication to keep our courses current for the ever-changing, sometimes turbulent, financial scene.

We’re always looking at ways to best serve the financial services industry and continuously review our course offering. We now also provide Financial Services Apprenticeships helping many businesses to grow talent and develop a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce.

Today, the Simply Academy team numbers over 70 employees and associates. Our highly experienced consultants and tutors work alongside developers, designers and client services to deliver outstanding courses. The result is that our reputation has gone from strength to strength. Simply Academy is the provider of choice for thousands of students and companies of all sizes from around the world.

Our dedication to fantastic results and exemplary customer care remains the same as when we started business in 2006. However, we’ve long outgrown our tiny office and our team has multiplied! Our flagship headquarters is now in Hertfordshire, with training facilities throughout the UK.
