I would also like to pass on positive feedback for Michelle, Apprentice Assessor and IQA. I was apprehensive about the end-point assessment, although I was fully prepared. She was very approachable, helpful and supportive which made me feel at ease

I just wanted to share how good Catherine in your EPA Admin team is. She's very responsive, always helpful and does exactly what she says she will do. As a customer its refreshing to know that you never have to chase, but more importantly makes you feel valued.

The end point assessment process was clear and straightforward, and communication with the Progress Minded team was excellent. I felt well supported every step of the way.
