This was my 1st course purely based…

This was my 1st course purely based online so was slightly apprehensive. The course content was excellent, very clear, well explained and structured. I telephoned to speak to someone about something I wasn’t sure of and this was of great help! Highly recommend the course. I have been an assessor for 16 years and this has really helped me to go on and hopefully be an IEPA. Am looking at the IQA course now.

I found this a good educational experience.

I was able to complete my course in my own time, this ment I was able to complete this course in 14weeks. Course work was marked and had feedback quickly and I was able to talk to an assessor when ever I needed clarity on units. I found this a good educational experience.

Excellent on-line training qualification

I recently undertook my CAVA qualification with Brooks and Kirk. I was a bit apprehensive as it has been a while since I had undertaken a qualification and certainly not on-line. The whole experience was excellent. The on-line learning system was easy to navigate and being able to learn at times that suited me was a real bonus. There staff at Brooks and Kirk were all very helpful and responded to any questions super quickly. There was on-line and telephone support with the course as well which helped if you got stuck!
Would throughly recommend Brook and Kirk if you are looking to upskill.

Award in End-Point Assessment Principles and Practice

I recently completed a course in Award in End-Point Assessment Principles and Practice delivered by Brooks and Kirk and I am really pleased with the course. The course was delivered online and was well structured and comprehensive. I am now clear about the roles and responsibilities of IEPA's , EPAO's and how they are different from traditional assessor's role.
I certainly recommend the course who wish to pursue a career as IEPA.

Great concept working remotely

Great concept working remotely, especially in this current pandemic and lockdowns. This does not effect how much or little you wish to learn. I passed the CAVA course level 3 and AET course level 3. The only draw back is Brooks and Kirk actually confirming that you have passed the qualifications on the moodle system once the courses are completed. Excellent value for money and I found all the staff members very helpful, and accomadating every time I phoned to either ask a question or find out about the course.
I would recommend Brooks and Kirk every time.

I chose Brooks and Kirk initially to complete my assessors course as i was so impressed with the communication, friendliness and timely responses i received to my queries. I was not disappointed. The course material is easy to navigate through, and if there was ever a particular concept i didn't understand, help was always there. Feedback and marking is fair and informative, always emphasising educating the learner. The videos and other resources used throughout were user-friendly and it was easy to relate to the presenter. Very impressive website with lots of information and resources they designed themselves for the sole purpose of making it easier for everyone to understand this sometimes complicated industry! I highly recommend and would withouth hesitation use Brooks and Kirk in the future.
