At this time of self-isolation and money tight, I initially felt that this money should go towards my housekeeping, but I am happy now because it’s money well spent.
I enjoyed every aspect of the sessions, the trainers(Anne & Sam) were fabulous. good experience- writing materials superb, the support is given outstanding, over course inspiring.
I will recommend to my colleagues.
Now I am an EPA.
Rosemary walmsley, Acorn Training – :
I felt that Sam and Anne were exceptional trainers who both showed an incredible passion towards learning. The course was well run with just the right amount of PowerPoint delivery; it was not death by PowerPoint. The course material was well laid out with sufficient information to allow for me to be stretched and challenged. I found the entire delivery and inspiring and motivated me to continue and look for work as an Independent Assessor.
Sarah Fulford – :
Thoroughly enjoyed the fact I was able to start pretty much straight away. The content and knowledge that both Sam and Anne had was excellent and this was backed up by examples and putting into context. The activities were well planned and timed, and I appreciated Anne checking that I was ok with what I had to do as currently not in role.
The course has made me feel more confident about the role and ready for my forthcoming interview.
Anonymous – :
The tutors were fantastic and clearly very knowledgeable about the subject
Loraine Parkinson, Careshield – :
Gained a great insight into EPA and important areas were very well talked through in order to gain clarity around this new way of working and assessing apprentices
avril palmer-fye – :
The two day, on-line course was comprehensive, informative and highly interactive.
Anne and Samantha, the course tutors, provided up to date, practical advice and a thorough grounding in the role of the IEPA. I now feel confident and equipped to take on that role.
The activity workbooks challenged and tested your depth of knowledge and required you to carry out research to show your understanding as well as your ability to practically apply your knowledge. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in or embarking on the IEPA role.
Chris Gardener, QA Limited – :
The course was well paced, and the communication was excellent the resources were suitable and met the requirements.
Becky – :
I found the Zoom meetings to be so much better than I thought they would be. I was initially worried the content would not be as good as if it were delivered in person, but I found it to be informative and engaging.
I can’t actually think of how it could be improved. I really enjoyed the course.
Michele Budgen – :
I would highly recommend this training company, I completed my EPA with them remotely and the teaching sessions were great via Zoom.
Lots of knowledge and support along the way.
Thank you Sam and Anne
Georgina Amankwah – :
Before the course, I had less knowledge and understanding of EPA.
After the course, I know where to search for apprentice standard, I know assessment methods, I know assessment plan, gateway, and the job role for EPA. I have learnt the vocabularies to use in evaluating my decision.
I know I can now be an Independent Assessor.
Syed Ali – :
The course was very well led by two experienced practitioners with up to date knowledge. The feedback was relevant and immediate.
Challenging scenarios and questions were posed for each candidate. The virtual size of the group was just right. Anymore leaners and it may have become a diluted experience.
This was a first zoom session for this delivery but was expertly handled.
The separation into virtual rooms was a clever device and one I will use myself.
Ruth Jones – :
Worth every penny – this course was fantastic, the Zoom sessions were excellent and I learnt so much. I has helped me to think about how I can prepare my apprentices for the EPA and also I might even apply for freelance EPA roles! Thank you Best For Training
