We have worked with Skillsfirst as an End-point Assessment Provider and the customer service received had been great, following this we then decided to become a training centre with Skillsfirst. Skillsfirst have always been really helpful and supportive in aligning our needs with qualifications they offer for both commercial and funded qualifications. We have recently also needed to gain guidance for a new apprenticeship standard in Early Years which Skillsfirst went above and beyond to ensure we gained all the information we needed for an employer, we will continue to use their service for both qualifications and end-point assessment.

The support and guidance from the Skillsfirst team has been invaluable with equipping delivery staff with the knowledge and confidence to prepare for End-point Assessment. The attendance of team meetings, standardisation and training sessions by Skillsfirst staff has helped to develop excellent working relationships and ensure that the delivery of the new apprenticeship standards is in line with the End-point Assessment requirements.

As a company we approached Skillsfirst Awards to support the designing of new courses. We first met to discuss our ideas which Skillsfirst were keen to hear. It was such a valued experience as both companies had different ideas which resulted in some amazing qualifications being created. Whenever we had any questions Skillsfirst were able to answer and provide guidance. We look forward to continuing working with Skillsfirst in the future.
