I would also like to say such a big thank you to Lisa Llewlyn, she has been so amazing to have as my assessor, she has been so supportive and encouraging, I couldn’t have done it without her encouragement and belive in myself.

Testimonial from a learner - Moving to the next qualification due to confidence and support offered
On behalf of our Managing Director, Aneurin Brown and the entire Hallmark team, I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for your support with sponsoring the Hallmark Awards this year.
Thanks to your support we have been able to gift our wonderful finalists and winners some great prizes and live stream the event to residents, team members and relatives of our finalists so they could tune in from the comfort of their own homes. We had over 300 attendees to the event last Friday and over 800 people tuned in to watch the event too, which is just incredible.
We really appreciate your support and we hope you enjoyed the awards evening.

I am writing to you regarding Susan Kelly, who has been my QCF assessor throughout my Level 4. My journey through the qualification could not have been smoother having Sue as my assessor. It has been an absolute pleasure to complete the qualification with Sue; I am very grateful for her continued reassurance and guidance as well as the knowledge she has shared with me along the way. Sue has always been consistent and punctual, as well as being helpful and reassuring throughout each task. I know that Sue always had confidence in me, while having a friendly and professional approach where I was always able to ask questions. Sue was always incredibly prepared for our meetings and these were never rushed.
I feel incredibly lucky to have had Sue as my assessor and am confident in saying that any learner would win the assessor lottery to have Sue to guide them through the qualification.
Sue has certainly represented your company to a very high standard and made my journey through this qualification smooth and pleasant.
