1st for Awarding Opiniones 

1st for EPA are an excellent EPAO to deal with. They are always on hand to answer any queries I have and to give me support and guidance.

I have just completed my EPA with 1st for EPA and they were brilliant.

Their information on what criteria we needed to hit to pass my EPA was simple and easy to follow.

On the day of my EPA my assessor Amna was so lovely and definitely put my nerves at ease as we went through my presentation and professional discussion.

Absolutely loved completing the Marketing Executive apprenticeship as I really believed I found my calling and what I was meant to do. Throughout the experience I wasn't surprised to learn that I go about things differently to what is expected and it was really great to be supported by my tutor and the College to achieve on my terms. Big shout out to Neil Wilkins for really testing my knowledge and pushing me to think deeper and more critically, he really is inspiring and a great advocate for individuality within marketing.

EPA were great.

My computer decided to bluescreen halfway through my assessment. Not ideal when you're nervous and trying to just...get through it! But I was reassured as my assessor had taken my mobile number ready to continue to assessment should technology fail.

Thankfully I rejoined the session and we carried on where we left off.

I received a nice amount of feedback around my project plan and the exam itself.

The team at 1st for EPA made everything super straight forward and went out of their way to be helpful. The actual accessor I had was friendly and reassuring, which in a high-pressure assessment is amazing for calming those nerves.

Would 100% recommend.

The best thing about my examination process with EPA was the feedback I received afterwards. It was in depth and really nice to hear after two years of hard work.

Upon failing my first EPA, I received very detailed feedback in what was needed to pass.

The interviewer was nice and easy to speak to, making the whole experience less daunting - She even remembered me in the second assessment, and acknowledged the additional content in my portfolio that was needed to pass!

I had a fantastic experience when I completed my Marketing Executive apprenticeship end point assessment with 1st for EPA. The staff were really friendly and put you at ease throughout the whole process. Everything was explained clearly and I went in to the assessment feeling confident.

I had such a great experience with 1st for EPA. I find assessments to be quite a nerve-wracking thing, I couldn't have felt more at ease throughout the whole process. I experience a couple of technical hiccups whilst being observed virtually and my invigilator was extremely patient and helpful which meant I didn't panic and was able to overcome the issue and confidently carry on 😊

I completed my End Point Assessment with 1st for EPA. The staff were very helpful and process ran really smoothly

1st for EPA have been incredibly supportive, particularly when arranging my assessment dates and organising for me to have a welcome meeting with my assessor as I was feeling nervous. Thank you for your support!

1st for EPA were amazing in supporting me through my apprenticeship gateway. They provided excellent resources and gateway handbook, provided a mock professional discussion experience and mad ethe process smooth and hassle free. Very Professional and super helpful. Would recommend.

1st for EPA arranged my end point assessment in a timely manner. The EPA assessor was fair and pleasant.

I would recommend 1st for EPA over CIM. They make the process much easier and I had a great experience.

The End Point Assessment process was exactly as described from start to finish. Having a clear timetable/information pack in place allowed me to successfully complete my EPA.
The 1st for EPA Consultative Project template ensured that I had a clear project plan in place to support working towards completion.
The Professional Discussion element of the EPA was also great. The assessor was professional but friendly and ensured I was able to participate in the discussion despite a technical difficulty my end. Thank you for the great experience.

Fantastic experience for apprentices and training provider. Thank you!

highly responsive and supportive thus far. Will review once we have completed our first round of apprentices. Feel confident that we will receive a high quality service. thank you.

1st for EPA are always helpful from a Training Provider's point of view. I also think that the paperwork provided by this organisation is absolutely clear on what is expected of the recipient. They are a really great organisation to work with.

Great service and a great team. So glad we have been working with the team over at 1st For EPA. It shows that if you get it right the it goes a long way
