Everything went smoothly, I had no problems whatsoever. Communication was excellent, everything was explained clearly, and the staff were great throughout. My assessor, Raymond, guided me through the whole process and was always responsive, no matter the time. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed having Raymond as my Assessor for my Level 6 NVQ Diploma. I had all of the evidence for my portfolio, and Raymond gave me the confidence I needed to know that it was to a high standard. Raymond was great to deal with, very supportive, and I wouldn’t hesitate to snatch up the opportunity to work with him again.

I recently achieved my NVQ LVL2 in Passive Fire Protection and it wouldnt have been possible without Nick. From the start he was a great help in guiding me to achieve my qualification. He is a very approachable, patient and decent person who obviously cares a lot about his role in helping people pass their NVQ'S. I would recommend using Up Level to anyone who asked based purely on my experience with Nick and how he made my NVQ a genuinely fun experience.
