About

The person behind the coach.

CeMAP Coach is independent and founder-run. No content team, no sales team — one person, a question bank audited line by line, and a strong opinion about how exam prep should treat adults.

Draft — your story goes here before launch

Why this exists

CeMAP prep is a market of content libraries. Hundreds of lessons, thousands of questions, a dashboard — and no answer to the only question that matters: would you pass today? People over-study the wrong topics, book the exam on a feeling, and pay £110 a unit to find out they weren’t ready.

So this platform is built backwards from that question. It scores your readiness first, plans your weeks out gaps first, and only then asks you to study — not chapters in order. Teaching is the ingredient. Readiness is the product.

It stays deliberately small: one product, one price, every question written and audited by the person whose name is on this page.

Score. Plan. Pass. In that order, on purpose.

01 — Score
Find out where you stand

PassIQ™ — eight real questions, two minutes, no account. A score, a band, and your three biggest gaps, named.

02 — Plan
Study gaps, not chapters

A week-by-week plan, gaps first. 35–60 focused hours for most people — never “pass in a weekend”.

03 — Pass
Book it when you’re ready

Finish your plan — every topic green and three mocks at 75%+ — sit the exam, and if you fail, we refund you in full.

The rules this site runs on

We launched in 2026. We have no reviews yet, and we’d rather tell you that than fake it. Honesty here isn’t a tone of voice — it’s the strategy.

  • 01No invented student counts, no fake testimonials, no stock-photo “graduates”. Proof you see here is checkable or it isn’t here.
  • 02No countdown timers, no “50% off ends tonight”. £99 is the launch price; it becomes £149 once our first 100 passes are on the wall — and that’s the stated reason.
  • 03The Pass Promise is measured in-product and refunded in cash — not an “access extension”.
  • 04Honest about effort: most people need 35–60 focused hours. Anyone promising a weekend is selling you a resit.
  • 05A 41 gets warmth and a plan, never confetti. Celebration is for things you earned.

Independent, on purpose

We’re support on top of your LIBF registration, not a substitute for it. The £690 buys the exams; the £99 makes sure you only pay it once.
