Customer reviews

Janet guided me through the qualification and explained tasks and assignments thoroughly. I felt at ease knowing she was on hand to ask questions and share my observations of my own experiences and practices. I enjoyed the professional discussions and now feel more equipped and confident in the whole observation process. Thank you so much for your help!

I just wanted to thank you for your help and support these past few months. It was overwhelming at first to begin a new qualification but when you broke each section down and provided the guidance, it was much more manageable and easy to follow. I am glad I have completed it and feel a real sense of achievement.

LT achieved a Level 4 Internal Quality Assurance qualification

Visit our Training page

I commenced the qualification mainly to hold the qualification as I felt it would add kudos to my role as observer, but I actually found the content really useful and it has improved my practice. I appreciated being able to agree session times and submission dates with you which enabled me to work at a pace that fitted with my job. You are really personable and an encouraging teacher and I looked forward to the attending the sessions.

Janet has had regular frequent meetings with me, giving me the knowledge to be able to complete each unit in a timely manner. Janet has been prompt in marking each of my units, to enable me to achieve and progress on the course, and has given me the encouragement and skills I have needed to complete the units to the best of my ability. It has been a pleasure having Janet as my tutor, she is personable, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive and I would recommend applying for this course, to anyone considering it.

JH studied the Level 4 Certificate in Supporting the Learning of Learners with Special Educational Needs and Disability

Thank you, although I had to give my head a little shake to get on with it, I’ve really enjoyed it. I knew nothing about EPA before this so really brought myself up to date with the apprentices employed by my organisation.

DW attained the TQUK Understanding End Point Assessment qualification

Visit our Training page

I started working with Janet after my initial training provider had gone into liquidation, and I stood abandoned halfway through my qualification. Janet stepped in with great professionalism and efficiency, and picked up the loose ends while making a plan for how to get me through the qualification within a realistic time frame. The support that I had from her experience and great knowledge, along with her flexible approach provided me with confidence and I managed to finish my work well before the expected time. I am incredibly grateful for her support, and also from all that I have learnt from our meaningful discussions about teaching. Thank you Janet!

ST achieved the Level 2 Award in Peer Mentoring

Working on this qualification when in full time employment was challenging and I wanted to work through it by a certain time. Janet listened to my views and worked to accommodate extra sessions enabling me to complete in the required time. I am now one step closer to achieving my dream. Thank you Janet for all your help and support. I would highly recommend CQS and Janet in particular.

AT-W, Bedfordshire – gained Supported Employment Practitioners Qualification

Visit our Training page

I’ve really enjoyed yours and your colleagues’ constructive marking, I know that may seem a little strange (!) but what I mean is I’d got a bit anxious as to whether I’d done it ‘right’ or not, and what came over in both your markings was that you were really looking to see if I understood – I found that very reassuring!

KC – studied Information, Advice or Guidance

Amazing! You made it straight forward and engaging throughout and I really appreciate your support and availability to answer questions I had over the last few months. Nothing seemed too much trouble for you and with the amount of work and people on courses you must have it always still felt personal.

I would like to thank you on behalf of HED Mind and Starfish and the guys on scheme, for all your help and support and for allowing us access to this great Level 3 qualification.

I highly recommend the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training. The teaching was tailored to my needs, Janet very much providing student-led teaching and assessment. I studied by distance while working abroad, one-on-one zoom lessons were flexible to my schedule, structured to keep the momentum going. I’ve improved my capability to provide training for the team and external training for partner, with Janet’s knowledge and experience guiding me to produce work and lesson plans tailored for my sector and target audience(s).

The Level 3 Award in Principles and Practices of Assessment theory was full on, but well worth it.
