The presentation was well delivered with very good contents and informative for educators and parents in this digital era. It is an eye opener for those who take technology as main source of teaching.

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.

Response from the owner:Thank youTamika for your kind review. We are pleased you have enjoyed your experience studying with us. The EPEC Team.

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!

Highly recommend. The most thorough, up-to-date, and informed on child protection.

Shaimin K.

I completed the Child Protection Refresher course and would highly recommend it to other educators. The course allows you to work at your own pace, and its structure is well-organized.

The online learning platform was user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to navigate and stay on track with my studies. The course content was thoughtfully designed and highly relevant to my chosen industry—Childcare. Each module was engaging, practical, and directly applicable to the skills and knowledge needed for success in this field.
