"Having a lead role in preparing apprentices for their EPA, I decided that my CPD should include the level 3 Award in Undertaking End-Point Assessment. I am happy that I did this through Best for Training. Sam and Anne were excellent, with a high level of knowledge and experience and really good ideas and good practice shared.

They both put myself and the other candidates at ease and the interactive sessions were very enjoyable as well as being very informative. Sam and Anne both offered valuable information , advise and guidance and the feedback regarding my assessments was thorough as well as being very positive and professional. I now feel very confident in this role due to the excellent guidance. I fully recommend the training, communication from start to finish was also strong." Rachel Stokes
