Clear processes throughout, helpful staff and a very positive experience

Great experience! Felt reassured and comfortable the whole time. Thank you all.

Great experience with EPA. I felt relaxed throughout the assessment and the assessor was great.. prompting me if I needed to give more information to an answer.

Great provider for apprenticeship assessments

I recently completed an Apprenticeship with 1st for EPA as assessors. Everybody I have spoken to was very helpful and the assessors themselves were lovely, really helped settle any nerves. I also got my results super quick!

My experience with 1st for EPA went very well. Everyone is very friendly and supportive and I felt very welcome and calm when completing my assessments.

I recently completed my Marketing Level 6 Apprenticeship with 1st for EPA being the assessing body. My assessor was very professional and made feel at ease when doing the professional interview. The feedback and my results were delivered when they said they would be too. Great experience thank you

Had a very positive experience with 1st for EPA!

Lovely accessor who eased my nerves and made the interview experience less daunting.

I received my result and in-depth feedback quicker than I expected. Overall a great exam board, thank you!

I recently completed an EPA for my level six apprenticeship in marketing. First for EPA provided excellent guidance, were professional in their assessment and I even got my results much earlier than stated! Perfect (:

I recently completed my apprenticeship with Apprentify and couldn't have wished for a better experience. My development coach, Kulwinder was incredibly helpful and supported me throughout my apprenticeship. I received a distinction and couldn't be any happier. Thank you Apprentify. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to do an apprenticeship!

Great experience with 1st for EPA. Their guidance really helped me to prepare and my assessor was fantastic. Easy to get hold of and couldn't fault them. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Applied for a bookings coordinator with 1stforepa.
Teams did not work so I sent a very simple email saying this.

I was responded to by HELEN SHINNER. She was extremely rude, discourteous and stated by email that I was very unprofessional and basically lying about what I said in a very non-blaming email.

ABSOLUTE DISGRACE. Says everything about the person and the organisation.

VERY STRESSED AND UNHAPPY

Really thorough course and good timings for completion of tasks. Would recommend this course to others looking to improve their marketing knowledge and skills.

1st for EPA were very accommodating and made me feel calm at a time I was at my most nervous. Thank you for your help and support

I had only positive experiences with 1st for EPA. Great communication, lovely assessors who made the experience much less daunting and were highly professional. I had a difficult experience with my provider so getting to this stage and being put at ease was invaluable. Thank you!

I would have given 1st For EPA 5 stars as they were responsive when I contacted them, they gave good feedback and gave me enough information in the PDF to pass, but I am giving 3 stars because of my disappointment over the delay with feedback. I was expecting feedback on the 24th January, but had to wait until the 9th February, because they wouldn’t feedback to me until the CIPD sent me my certificate and I felt this caused me some unnecessary frustration, and I felt that I was a victim of a rather inflexible process.

Some other feedback:

I did feel that it wasn't entirely clear what was needed for the project element and I wasn't sure how to match my experiences to the standards and exactly what evidence to provide. The PDF suggested that an appendix shouldn’t be included, but I felt that potentially this is exactly what was needed for a vocational project. I also did not really know what to expect with the professional conversation and struggled with this element, again I felt that some extra information at this stage would be useful.

The experience was straightforward and seamless. The feedback from my EPA was detailed which was much appreciated!
