CeMAP 1® Course Overview

CeMAP 1 is regarded as the toughest of all three modules and as such special attention needs to be given to it.

We pride ourselves on delivering a comprehensive programme which has been written and fine-tuned by our experienced CeMAP tutors since 2006. Our CeMAP 1 training course provides in-depth training across the whole syllabus, focussing on the learning outcomes necessary to achieve examination success. We aim to provide candidates with knowledge and understanding of the financial services industry and the environment in which it operates.

You can either take our instructor-led 5 day Fast Track option (which requires very focussed study) or you can do it for 5 days over 3 weekends (quite handy if you can't get time off work to do Cemap training during the week).
If time or travel distance is and issue then you might want to consider our distance learning option. Follow this link for All the details of our CeMAP Home study with tutor support (or cemap study material only)

CeMAP tuition at Futuretrend is provided by FCA registered financial services practitioners. As such we can bring the otherwise dull and boring study material to life through real world examples, case studies, practice examinations and presentations. This helps you stay engaged and helps you retain more. You can see our CeMAP Tutors Bio's here

By the time you finish the training you will have undertaken a minimum of eight CeMAP practice examinations. Best of all you will be given comprehensive feedback from your tutor. So you know if you are on the right track and what to do if you aren't.

You will also have access to our virtual learning zone where you can take interactive tests at your own time and pace. On our Virtual learning zone you will find over 1000 CeMAP 1 multiple choice questions.

Our Training Material

  • Study guide/Classroom slides & Workbook.
  • UK Financial Regulations Easily Understood Book.
  • Additional Materials/study aids supplied.
  • Mock exams, past question papers.
  • Access to our Virtual Learning Zone

Our course material is the most comprehensive you will find amongst CeMAP training companies. While on the course amongst other resources you will receive the UK Financial Regulations Made Easy Book written by our most experienced CeMAP trainers. This book covers the most important aspects of the CeMAP 1 syllabus and is designed specifically to maximise your chances of success in the examination.

 

It is a comprehensive summary of the syllabus which highlights all the main points and is presented in a simple, step-by-step, bullet-pointed format. Many students get lost and confused with the huge manual sent out by the London Institute for Banking and Finance. This breaks it all down into bite-size, easy to understand chunks and most importantly, in an orderly fashion.

UK Financial Regulations: Made Easy not only complements the main text book but also gives you an excellent understanding of the UK financial services environment.

Thank you for you help, the Cemap book is brilliant, very clear and to the point!
