I am enrolled in a Certificate 3 in Early Childhood Education and Care, and after a very stressful year was despairing of ever being able to finish my course and continue my work in Family Day Care. When Karen Tonkin started at EPEC as the Student Support Specialist, she immediately made contact and was so helpful right from the start. She has been instrumental in completely changing the course from one that was overwhelmingly time-consuming to one that provides all the required learning without the stress. I finally feel like I can cope with the demands of running my own business as an early childhood educator while studying online with EPEC. I can get this course finished and get on with my life! I can thoroughly recommend the EPEC course now as one that meets all your needs but will fit into your busy life. Without the changes that Karen has brought about, I don't know if I could have finished the course, but now I feel hopeful that I will finally get there. Thank you so much Karen, you're a lifesaver.

Karen Tonkin has been a god send to me. Before her arrival at EPEC Education I was really struggling with completing the course. Whilst I was managing the theory side the practical component was proving to be extremely difficult and I didn't feel like I was getting any support or answers to my questions. Since Karen has taken on the role of Student Support Specialist she has listened to not only my concerns but also the other students doing this course. In the short time that she has been here she has reviewed the course, made the necessary changes that were required to enable all of us to complete the course without having a complete breakdown and stressing over how we were going to finish. She is worth her weight in gold. She has renewed my desire to finish my diploma by being compassionate, understanding and, most importantly, following up on any issues that I had raised with her. I was very, very close to quitting this course because I didn't feel that I was getting the support I needed. Thank you Karen - I can now see light at the end of the tunnel.

The course was fine but the workbook pictures were very small and not a good quality, sometimes was hard to read it. I had some difficulties and when I call them the staff was very nice a helpful with my case so that’s a big plus for me.

I completed my certificate IV in school based education support online with epec education recently, and I loved studying with them throughout the entire course. The staff and trainers were all supportive, and I could go to them if I had any queries or questions on the content that I was learning and they would accommodate or answer them very well! It’s a flexible online course, and the content is thorough and clear. I thoroughly enjoyed studying with epec!
