Not happy with service at all

I am extremely upset with the support that I have been given. Since day one I was provided with a laptop that didn't meet my needs and was faulty. Despite complaining for 3 years i still wasn't given the correct help. I feel like my situation was not handled properly, am extremely upset with the service and wouldn't recommend it at all to anyone. till this day i am still emailing in regards to my issue.

An excellent representative for a kind and comfortable experience

Harry was really calm and understanding when speaking with him on my needs assessment today. He made me feel extremely comfortable and took all of my thoughts and feelings into account. He has given me hope for my upcoming academic year and the access 1st should be proud to have him as a representative. Keep making young people who are struggling feel heard and you’ll change the world. Thank you again !

Felt nervous at the start as I wanted to ensure I get what I need but my needs assessor was brilliant and quick in understanding where I struggle most with my dyslexia which was very impressive and comforting. We also had our session online which I found easy to follow, as I was in the comfort of my home. For future students offer the options in person or online. Although we had some technical issues at the beginning that did not impact our meeting has we had plenty of time. Thank you a lot!

Zoë, what a wonderful assessor !!

I have never come across such wonderful staff. So helpful and empathetic. It’s refreshing to see, and I was made to feel so comfortable and at ease. Zoë is a credit to the company and such a wonderful assessor with clear understanding and guidance. I never felt once uncomfortable and was such a pleasure to meet someone who had a great understanding. Thank you, once again Zoë. X

Review of DSA needs assessment call

The DSA needs assessor was really helpful and understanding. He gave me many options that would accommodate my needs, due to my disability. After our call, I felt like I had been taken care of and he gave me many studying methods that I didn’t even know was available to me. He really took the time to listen, explain and make sure that I understood what was happening. Best service in my opinion.

Brilliant assessor and great assessment experience

Christalla was a really friendly assessor who was super easy to talk to and really understood what I struggled with. She suggested support which I had never considered, but I feel will help me a lot throughout my university experience. She was very patient with me and made the whole process easy, walking me through it all. I definitely feel more confident about starting university with the support she has suggested.

DSA application

Pauline took me through all the options i have with DSA and explained each in the simplest form. My questions were answered by her to my satisfaction. She is simply the best. I would always like to talk to her whenever i want to ask for any thing from your company.

Had an interview with Christalla today. She was absolutely wonderful, clear and extremely helpful and made me feel at ease. Couldn’t fault the service at all.
