I had been out of education for years and didn’t think university was possible for me anymore. First Step Education explained everything clearly and helped me apply for a Business Management degree. The whole process was simple and stress-free.

I wanted to change careers and move into nursing but didn’t know where to start. First Step Education guided me through the application and student finance process. Without their support I probably wouldn’t have applied.

The team helped me find the right course and university based on my situation. They made the UCAS and student finance applications easy to understand and were always available when I had questions.

I was unsure about going to university as a mature student. First Step Education gave me confidence and helped me secure a place on a Psychology degree. Their support throughout the process was excellent.

From the first call to securing my university place, the team were professional and supportive. They explained everything clearly and helped me understand the student finance options available.

I didn’t realise how many opportunities were available through student finance. First Step Education helped me apply and guided me step-by-step through the entire process.
