We have worked with ABBE as our Awarding Body for over 15 years and have always found the customer service to be excellent. In particular, our queries are always dealt with in a timely manner and in an industry where our learners demand their qualification certificates to be turned around quickly, the team at ABBE have always processed certificate claims at lightning speed!
We have found ABBE to be at the forefront of qualification development within the growing energy and retrofit sectors. We have been involved in helping develop several of the qualifications and the process has been thorough, methodical and practicable. It is clear the team at ABBE are engaged with centres to help develop high quality qualifications with a real practical application for our learners.
From a quality assurance standpoint, we have engaged with several ABBE EQAs over the years and have always found the process to be thorough, supportive and ultimately this has helped us develop and improve our assessment practices as a centre.
