Why Energy & Environment Awards?

Your personal contact means you get help and support when you want it – no call centres and no tickets.
Learning from Experience
After each cohort has finished their apprenticeships, we will set up ‘Learning from Experience’ meeting to ensure you are heard and we are always improving.
Resources for Success
Our added-value resources give you much more - all designed to help you prepare the apprentice for their end-point assessment.
Energy & Environment Awards are the one EPAO that gives me confidence that they know what they are doing and why they are doing it. They have everything in place to support the apprentice, employer and training provider which is amazing.
