Team Leader Supervisor L3 Standard

All materials that were provided contained clear and relevant information aligned with the course I was working on. They were well organised and explained everything I needed to successfully pass the final exam.
The most useful element of the session was my teacher, Raphael Whitmore, who clearly explained everything I did not understand at first. He provided excellent examples for all my questions and was very patient, while also encouraging me, often without me even realising, to stay engaged and continue learning.
He also helped me understand how to apply the concepts in my current role, especially when I was struggling to connect the material to my day-to-day work. I will use this knowledge to improve my performance and apply what I have learned more effectively in my position.
I had a great time learning all the methods, styles, standards, and approaches during this course, and this is mainly thanks to my teacher, Raphael. Nothing is more motivating when learning new skills than having a great teacher, which Raphael undoubtedly is.

Thank you, Raphael, for everything. My success is a result of your excellent work and support.

I started my apprenticeship 3 years ago…

I started my apprenticeship 3 years ago now but have recently passed with a distinction 3 months ago and it wouldn't have been possible without Wayne Vickery.

Towards the start of my apprenticeship i was struggling already feeling overwhelmed by work and the extra studying required. At this point i had a different teacher and was slowly learning. Wayne then started up and really help me break down the content and digest it gaining an understanding of the criteria and how to relate it to my job. Wayne helped set goals and checkpoints to make before our next meeting highlighting a clear way on how to progress my portfolio and project mock. Due to this i made consistent progress and ended up getting a distinction in my final exam.

ICT Level 3 apprenticeship

My name is Alfie Foster and I achieved a pass on my information communication technician Level 3 apprenticeship thanks to Wayne Vickery. He was very helpful and helped me understand things very easily. He was always quick to respond to questions outside of our scheduled meetings. The apprenticeship itself has given me a Level 3 qualification and a very good understanding of IT and also work experience.

The Education and Skills Partnership…

The Education and Skills Partnership are running an excellent free course that genuinely helps to boost career opportunities. The programme is very well organised, and the team are exceptionally friendly, supportive, and informative throughout. From the outset, everything was clearly explained, and it was obvious that the course is designed with learners’ real-life commitments in mind, not just the content itself.

Although I was unable to personally attend the online Teams webinars due to full-time work commitments, the scheme was flexible and allowed me to work around this by completing the work in my own time. Sonia and Sandra (who were overseeing and marking my work) were extremely helpful, kind, and approachable, and nothing was ever an issue. Even when I was late submitting a piece of work due to juggling work, home life, and motherhood, she was very understanding and supportive in helping me navigate this. Overall, it has been a very positive and encouraging experience.

Great tutors and great courses

I have not long finished my Level Three Customer Service Apprenticeship with ESP and achieved a grade Distinction after eighteen months.

My tutor Beverley Kanuga was instrumental to my Distinction grade, providing constant support to my training needs, delivery of sessions and any queries I had, minor or major.

I would definitely use this company again if any opportunities arise in future, and would recommend their courses to anyone looking to do the qualifications they provide

Apprenticeship Review

I have thoroughly enjoyed my learning experience with The Education and Skills Partnership Ltd and have successfully completed my HR Consultant/Partner ahead of predicted time and also achieved my CIPD Level 5 qualification with this. Karen has been a fantastic and positive Learning and Skills Coach providing me with continuous support, guidance and advice throughout the course of the programme. Learning materials were helpful and beneficial and I was also provided with feedback as and when required. I would recommend The Education and Skills Partnership Ltd to anyone considering an apprenticeship.

WASTE OF TIME, DON'T book you in for the test

WASTE OF TIME, you take part in a course (I did the cscs card) and they DON'T book you in for the test, so you have to sit through the whole 2wk course again.

We are really sorry to hear that your time with us at ESP was not as expected. We would never expect a learner to do the construction course again in order to do your CSCS test at a Citb centre. This is not our process and we would encourage you to get in contact with us on 01233632111 to discuss your options

Great experience

Matthew is always extremely helpful and fast in responding to any questions that we have. I would recommend ESP as a Kickstart gateway organisation, our experience has been great.
