Maria was excellent at explaining the course. Really enjoyed and learnt a lot. I would recommend this course for anyone looking to do their CeMAP. Thank you Maria!

I enrolled in a remote class to help me study for my first chosen module (Taxation) with LIBF towards the DipFA qualification. In all my interactions with Clarity Financial Training (email, phone and during the 2-day class itself) I found the staff to be very responsive and friendly. I particularly appreciated the included 3 months of access to the mock quizzes online that I feel were invaluable in helping me achieve success on the actual exam.

Maria was super helpful - great resources and informative, interactive sessions, which helped me pass the coursework. I tried once before without Maria's help and failed so I can attest to the value of her help :-)

I couldn't have passed this qualification so quickly without Maria's excellent knowledge and expertise. A thorough understanding of the curriculum and availability for any and every question, with patience of a saint!

I attended the weekend final 'case study' course for the Dip FA qualification. Maria did a great job summarising the key considerations. I passed with a distinction. I strongly recommend her services.

I enrolled with Clarity Financial to support my CeMAP studies. I attended in person classes for CeMAP 1 and opted for the web based training for CeMAP 2 and 3. Personally, I would recommend the web based option to anyone, as it allows you to join the sessions from the comfort of your own home, saves both time and travel costs, and still offers a fully interactive environment where you can ask questions at any point. The overall experience was excellent. Maria and her team are thoroughly professional. As a lead trainer, Maria brings a wealth of industry knowledge and has years of experience training students. No question is treated as too basic, as she takes the time to break things down clearly and provides practical guidance supported by real world insight. At no point did I feel left to manage on my own. The training is well structured, engaging and fully supported throughout. Thanks to Maria's teaching style and approach, I passed all of my CeMAP exams first time, with merits across the board. I now plan to return to Clarity Financial for further courses. I would strongly recommend Clarity Financial to anyone serious about passing their exams. You will not be disappointed!

I purchased the CeMAP mocks and was very pleased. I did not expect to get that level of detail on the answers. I found this very useful. I will definitely be buying the mocks for the next module. Definitely worth the price.

I used Clarity FT for my CeMAP studies, and honestly, it felt like a glorified audiobook/dictation session/script-reading service. Maria simply reads directly off the screen, offering little to no additional explanation, context, or engagement to help learners actually understand the material. The one-week remote course was particularly difficult to sit through - the delivery was painfully slow and monotonous, which made it really hard to stay focused or even stay awake. There was no attempt to break down or simplify the long-form content, and no interactive elements or clarification to support real comprehension. In the end, I found it far more helpful to just read the official LIBF material myself. It's clearer, and at least you can go at your own pace.

I used Clarity FT to study my FSRE. Thank you for all your help and answering all my questions promptly. I would highly recommend. Thank you Maria.

Update: The issues experienced below have now been fixed for the highlighted module. While Clarity has an open line to call during the day, this only links to their reception with promises of a call back. I had called 4 times requesting this and only recieved a call back once. On their website they advertise mock tests with 'up to 2500 questions' with random sets of questions given for each attempt. Firstly it took a week of me calling to have the option to purchase my desired module for AFA Tax (Only way to do this is through their website). Once I finally had access I was able to start doing the mock tests, another point to note is that they promise explanations for incorrect answers, this is not true as I was only given the questions that were wrong with no explanation. The testing system is very basic and doesn't allow you to go back to previous attempts to checks questions etc. However the biggest annoyance of my experience is that I could only do one full mock test before I simply got a note of 'Congratulations, you've passed all the quizzes'. Considering that the £25 I paid was for unlimited 7 day access for 2500 randomised questions, this is not the case and is false advertising. I'm not sure if this is a fault with their system and would be happy to change this review if that were the case, but the amount of issues I've had in just trying to get access to some mock test questions for a module they are advertising has been a nightmare. I have been granted a refund on the £25 paid for access to the mock test since posting this review previously so I appreciate Clarity being prompt in dealing with this, but I will leave this here until the issues with a module they are advertising, AFA Tax have been sorted completely so that others don't run into the same issues that I have.

Its been a great experience of learning and training through Clarity Financial. The tutor (Maria Hunter) made this possible for me to get the insight of the subject. You do not need to revise the videos once listened properly. Its very comprehensive and precise. I am sure it would be extremely difficult for me to Pass Level 4 Diploma for Financial Advisers without this support.
