Assessment Overview

Broadbent has been fantastic. They have provided good support throughout the whole process. I had the pleasure of receiving help from them during my undergrad, and now again for my masters. They are lovely and polite and are always happy to help. Everything is always very professional, whilst still keeping things comfortable. Highly recommend."

Student Huddersfield student Science

My assessor was very thorough. The assessor took the time to make sure I knew all the options valuable to me and made sure I got exactly what I needed. I was kept informed with ongoing communication with my university and the process was very fast. As a result, I got a DSA package that has made an unbelievably positive difference. I can't thank the assessor and Broadbent enough. "

Student Nottingham Medicine

Thank you, Broadbent & Co. I attended not knowing what to expect. I have recently been diagnosed with a long-term health problem/disability and was positively impressed by the needs assessors approach. Extremely polite, courteous and professional. They advised and recommended a number of aids to assist in my studies which I had no idea were available (ergonomic equipment). The support and equipment they have advised SFE via DSA to put in place has been approved and is due for delivery within the next few weeks. They have certainly helped make my return to full-time education as simple and straightforward as possible, especially with regards to the study aids supplied to enable me to work 'smarter' (computer software and assistive technology). Also, with an operation due during the course of my first academic year, which could have had a serious impact on my studies, they were able to advise and secure financial aid from a classroom support and transport point of view, again all approved by SFE. Would I recommend? Without hesitation! Again, thank you Broadbent & Co. for a pleasant, polite and professional way of working with your clients/customers!"

Student Nottingham Economics (BA Hons)

I cannot thank Broadbent & Co enough, they have gone above and beyond to help me and now I feel much more confident in my academics. It's very refreshing to meet people who genuinely care about you and your education. I can't complement them enough."

Student Manchester MA Geography

Before the assessment I had no idea how useful it would turn out to be. The staff are very friendly over email, phone and in person, I certainly felt like I was being treated as a person rather than a number which was great. During my assessment, the assessor was very thorough and made detailed notes whilst still being very attentive, we discussed many items and technologies that may have been helpful during my studies, many of which were things I was not aware would be available! All equipment was arranged and delivered efficiently and I made good use of it all! Great experience with Broadbent & co overall, no complaints."

Student Liverpool English Language (PostGraduate)

These guys are brilliant, they were so helpful during the assessment and even after the assessment. They were friendly, supportive and very understanding, I am very glad that I had chosen this company to do my assessment and would recommend these guys to anyone. They really made my university education much more smoother than I expected to be. Thanks Broadbent & Co."

Student Sheffield Music (MA)

Did not realize how much support I actually needed. As a more mature student I thought 'just to get on with it', but after a comprehensive, friendly and very informative assessment my time at Uni should be less traumatic (for all). Thank you for all time and effort I'll do my best to implement all the aids recommended."

Student Southport Classical Studies

I found Broadbent & Co to be a very friendly professional team. They even managed to provide me with an appointment the same day. They provided me with a comprehensive assessment. The assessor really drilled down to find out what my specific needs were. I felt they tailored equipment to match my learning needs and I was listened too. They explained how all the software would benefit me and how I could use it in practice. I can't wait to start using it. Thank you."

Student Bournemouth Early Years Studies

I thought this assessment centre was extremely helpful and shown a great deal of determination in assisting myself through this process. On arriving, I was kindly greeted and offered any cold or hot beverages and asked to take a seat. I was kept surely up to date of when I was going to be seen and was acknowledged by all passing employees. The assessor made me feel very relaxed and comfortable and guided me both professionally and emotionally through the process and has shown a great commitment in succeeding the best possible outcomes from my session. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and would rate this 10/10 with no faults whatsoever!"

Student Open University History

I have nothing but good news to say about Broadbent and Co. The staff are friendly, consistent and caring. You can tell they are really passionate about what they do, always rooting for their students. My assessor in particular, was able to really identify the challenges that I was facing during my studies and was able to tailor my needs to me, not just a general approach used for all students. I have depended on them since my first degree in 2012 and I can say their standard of service has not dropped even a little bit. I am so thankful to the whole team for looking after me, I can definitely say for a fact I would not have made it through my first year of medical school without your services."

Student St. Helens Medical Studies

My experience at this centre was brilliant, on my arrival I was offered a hot or cold beverage, I was also asked if my seating arrangement was suitable due to my health issues. I was asked if I needed breaks during the assessment, and not once was I made to feel uncomfortable for the first time in my life while being assessed. I would most definitely recommend this centre. I give them a five star rating :-)"

Student Manchester Medical Studies

My assessment experience with Broadbent in terms of my current MA studies was as smooth, friendly and efficient as the assessment I received by them some 3 years back during my BA studies. The assessor was very receptive and intuitive to my specialist study needs and picked up quickly on where my problems are and focused on facilitating the support available to me in these areas. Thank you Broadbent & Co."

Student Huddersfield Fine Art (MA)

I have had the privilege to have my Advisor/Assessor for the past 2 years and they have been brilliant. The adjustments recommended for my University were effective and made me feel comfortable during my studies.

The staff overall are very friendly and accommodating!! 5 out of 5 for excellent service. Thank You Everyone! A very happy student here :) "

My assessor was brilliant! The assessor listened to all my concerns and allowed me time to explain anything I wanted to. Often in disability assessments you can feel patronised but here I felt like I was being worked with and treated as an adult to find the best solution to any problems I had.
