EPEC Education was suggested to me and I'm so incredibly glad I chose this RTO to complete my Child Protection.From the first phone call I was given so much support and understanding as an older woman who has extreme anxiety with all things associated to online learning.I was linked up with the wonderful Deb who guided me step by step through each module, showing patience, understanding and reassurance. She gave me the time I needed and the confidence I needed to successfully complete the course.I can't recommend EPEC Education highly enough.

EPEC Education has proven to be an exceptional RTO that has fabulous support from their trainers. MJ is very attentive and ready to help you in the chat box online at any time, whilst Debbie who is the Student Support Officer was so helpful in assisting with challenging questions and completing units. Nothing was too big or small for Debbie to help with. She was friendly, kind and supportive. Her motivation to help others really is inspiring and makes you want to keep going at the task ahead. Thank you EPEC Education for being the most ideal RTO for studying online.

Yesterday I was in a time crunch to complete a certificate for a new job role and had a little trouble with receiving the correct information for the study. Debbie took the time to chat to me over the phone about the learning content and explained everything clearly, easily and respectfully! She was kind, patient and understanding, helping me to better understand what I needed to do for a successful completion of the tasks.I felt clearly understood, respected and calm (as I was quite panicked when I called her) by the end of the call.Thank you again for your help Debbie!

I would like to sincerely thank Debra Kearney, Student Support Advocate at EPEC Education, for her wonderful support during my RPL process for the Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. The competency conversation was a truly positive experience for me. Through Debra’s thoughtful and well-structured questions, I learned so much about myself and my professional journey. It was a lovely and engaging conversation, and she made me feel comfortable, confident, and supported throughout. She is an amazing lady, and I am very grateful for her time, encouragement, and guidance.
