I have worked with James and Steve for over 2 years and they have been invaluable to PHX. Initially they helped us to get onto the RoATP as a Main Provider and then we applied for AEB Growth and in both instances 100% success, which was amazing for us. In March this year we had to reapply for RoATP which was a more comprehensive process, once again and thankfully we were successful and this was down to the expertise of James and Steve. Not only have they helped us with successful tenders they also advised us on having quarterly Health Checks, with Ofsted looming. Working with their own consultant, we were advised over the last 9 months when finally we received our Ofsted visit in June and we were elated to get reasonable progress for our AEB and Apprenticeship delivery. Education and Skills are one of those rare companies with true depth of knowledge in our field, a true specialist, who get back to you quickly and nothing is too much trouble. I can’t recommend them high enough and we plan to increase our working relationships as our business continues to grow.
