“1st for Awarding has provided exceptional support since we first partnered with them for End-Point Assessment services. From the outset, their team has consistently demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to supporting both us and our learners.
– IT PROGRAMME LEAD
1st for Awarding has been an invaluable partner to our delivery team. They regularly provide guidance, industry insights, and updates on emerging trends across apprenticeship standards. Their support during the transition to newer versions of apprenticeship standards has been particularly beneficial. Clear communication, comprehensive resources, and up-to-date documentation has been provided at every stage of the process.
Our learners have also greatly benefited from the support offered by 1st for Awarding. Their awareness sessions, which introduce learners to the EPA process and clarify expectations and requirements, have been instrumental in building confidence and ensuring learners feel fully prepared for their assessments.
In addition, 1st for Awarding has consistently maintained excellent communication regarding assessment outcomes and next steps. Their collaborative approach has enabled us to effectively support our learners in achieving positive results and progressing towards their career goals.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Ben Jones, John Pritchard, and the wider team at 1st for Awarding for their continued dedication, expertise, and support. Their partnership has made a significant contribution to the success of our apprenticeship programmes. We greatly value the relationship we have built with them.”
“Working with 1st for Awarding has been a positive experience for both myself and the learners I support. The resources, guidance and assessment information provided are clear, accessible and help ensure that apprentices understand what is expected of them throughout their programme and as they approach their end-point assessment.
– SKILLS COACH AND MENTOR
As a Digital Marketing Mentor, I conduct regular learner progress reviews and employer review meetings. The assessment materials and support from 1st for Awarding give me confidence when preparing learners for assessment. They allow me to provide focused guidance on the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to demonstrate.
The combination of structured assessment guidance, responsive support and high-quality resources enables me to effectively prepare apprentices for success. I would recommend 1st for Awarding to training providers looking for a reliable and learner-focused awarding organisation.”
