Testimonials

''OneFile. What can I say? Absolutely fabulous. I can upload documents and work and my assessor gets an automatic message to let him know. Finding my work is easy and being able to look up the standards is really useful so that I can make sure I have covered as many points as possible in each item of work. If work does need to be corrected it is all done via OneFile. I absolutely love it. I can access it from home and work which makes life and study a lot easier. The progress bars are a useful incentive tool and they spur me on to get to the end of a unit. ''

''As I am Dyslexic I have trouble getting things down correctly onto paper. I am doing my NVQ using OneFile and I can type out my work using the spell check on my computer. I like the way progress is recorded automatically. I find OneFile has given me the encouragement to continue. ''

''I found the whole OneFile experience to be user friendly, encouraging and extremely relaxing to use. A pleasant, stress free experience.''

''Before using OneFile I was absolutely useless at using computers. I only knew how to turn the computer on, type, print and save. I had never used the computer to send an e-mail and had no idea how to even log on. By using OneFile, my computer skills - as well as my knowledge - has improved enormously and I have definitely got OneFile to thank for that. ''

''OneFile represents Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue's first venture into e - portfolios. As an experienced Watch Commander I appreciate the flexibilty this system offers. It cuts down on paperwork, leaving me more time to meet the demands of my front line job. My candidate can access his portfolio both at work and at home. Together we have found OneFile has made the NVQ process a lot smoother. A+ ''

''It was great and not as bad as I thought. I finished my NVQ in about 3 months. ''

''Having been an assessor for over ten years, I approached using an e-portfolio with some trepidation. However, once I had got to grips with the product and found my way around, I am hooked. OneFile brings many benefits, such as instant access to all my candiates' portfolios, regardless of distance. I am also using the system as an IV and see the benefits of such access when we are deciding on our sampling strategies. It took a little time to get used to, but I would definitely recommend OneFile to anyone involved in an NVQ, be they candidate, assessor or IV. ''

''I have found OneFile very addictive. Initially I would find myself working so much that my home life was a blur!! Luckily with support from my family, friends and colleagues I have found a way of overcoming my cravings to check how may tasks I have, which learners have accessed the system and how much progress they were making! Kind regards and thanks ''

''I have enjoyed using OneFile as an assesment and verification tool. It saves all the hassle of locating students portfolio's and makes it easier to pass on information and also to support students.''

''I find the OneFile experience enjoyable & fun. If there is an option for using OneFile or a traditional paper based portfolio, I would strongly recommend OneFile. You don't need to carry a big folder around, just log on to your computer.''

''I found OneFile to be very useful in the way it is structured and laid out. It enabled me to complete my NVQ in a very short space of time.''

''As an NVQ Administrator, I have found OneFile to be very user-friendly. The feedback from our students has been extemely positive and has helped improve retention rates and progress through their NVQ qualifications. ''

''I used OneFile and found it so easy to use. Communication with my assessor was easy and checking on my progress was valuable as it kept me updated with my work. The best thing about OneFile is I worked at my own pace, during my own time, anytime of the day and in the comfort of my own home. I would recommend it to anyone. ''

''Thank you for giving me the opportunity to say what a really good experience using OneFile has been. It's been so easy to use and I've been able to incorporate it into my working day without any problems at all. I would definitely recommend OneFile.''

''I have personally found using OneFile very easy and simple. It has been designed to make the student spend minimal time using it but easy enough to document which tasks and assignments have been completed. ''

''I have found OneFile very accessible, informative,vibrant and easy to use. Learning and submitting evidence has been fun with OneFile. ''

''I started an NVQ over 3 years ago which I never completed due to the fact that getting the information together was very time consuming. Since doing this current NVQ I have thoroughly enjoyed it, I have found the collection of information easier. Being able to download information and monitor your progress is great, you can see at a glance which unit needs completion and what information is required. Contact with my assessor is so much easier. OneFile is very user friendly and I cannot think of any improvement that would be required. Using OneFile has made me keen to do another NVQ after I have finished this one.''

''My experience with OneFile has been great. I did an NVQ about 6 years ago and had this massive portfolio with loads of paperwork and evidence squashed into it. The thing I love about OneFile is that everything relating to the NVQ is stored onto the computer programme. I found it a bit daunting at first but with training I soon got the hang of it. I think OneFile represents the modern society we live in and definately made my NVQ a lot easier. ''

''I have just started to use OneFile with some of my students and it is brilliant. I find that my travel time for students is reduced and I can assess their work whenenver I want to. The support is really good, if there are any questions or queries they are dealt with immediately in a manner that is positive and instills confidence with the system. This is without a doubt the way forward for those who want to progress with their qualification quickly and easily. ''

''Using OneFile was extremely useful as I could work on my assessments at times that suited both my home life and workloads. The system ensured that all my evidence was kept so that there was no repetition or lost paperwork. OneFile also allowed me to track my progress and identified areas where I needed to find evidence. Using OneFile definately made the NVQ process more efficient and easy and I would recommend OneFile to anybody. ''

''OneFile has been so easy to use that even I could manage it. The instructions are clear and I have found navigating my way around the site to be straight forward. Thank you to whoever made this such a simple tool to use. ''

''Kerching! That's the way it felt every time I went on to OneFile. I knew instantly that there were things I needed to complete. I managed my work load far more effectivley having the virtual file. It is a great system as it allows flexibility. When I had time to spare I would simply log in where ever I was. It was so flexible I logged in on holiday! ''

''OneFile is one of a kind and I enjoy using it. It's easy to use, very straight forward. ''

''When I first started using OneFile I was completely baffled! Where do I write my assignments, how do I get in contact with my assessor, will I ever get the hang of this? To my surprise I caught on really quickly and actually got it right first time. OneFile is a great idea, NO MORE PAPER!!!! Not only is it eco-friendly, you can get help as soon as you need it and you can check your progress at a click of a button. Brilliant!!!! ''

''OneFile was a great place to start on the road to a qualification and it was great to have the freedom to study at my own pace. It made learning fun and was a really positive experience. It was really worthwhile and it definitely wasn't boring.''

''The use of OneFile has revolutionised my working life as an assessor and verifier in many positive ways. In my role as internal verifier it is so much easier to plan and sample evidence in learners portfolios without having to transport heavy files. I have found the OneFile team very helpful with setting up the system, dealing with enquiries and responding to our feedback. ''

''Not only is OneFile very easy to use and navigate, but the speed of response from their team is second to none. We have made many suggestions or requests about how it would benefit us to have extra/different fields and these are responded to and completed PDQ! ''

''We looked at all the leading e-portfolio packages before selecting OneFile for our new company, mainly for its ease of use. We have not been disappointed. It is written by people who understand NVQ's rather than software engineers. The developers positively welcome suggestions for enhancements. Our learners, assessors and verifiers all love it. ''

''Generally I have found OneFile an easy system to navigate around. I was able to operate the system smoothly. I like the section which tells you what percentage of each unit you have completed. It makes you feel more confident about what you are doing. ''

''Easy to use, excellent way of keeping in touch with your Assessor, and, easy to use emails''

''I sat down with dread at first. Here in front of me was the beast of a computer that I hardly ever used, and I had agreed to undertake my NVQ using it!! Once everything clicked into place, and work was being done I genuinely enjoyed the whole experience. I have to say that OneFile is the best way to complete your NVQ. It saves time, it saves an awful lot of writing and is a more comfortable way of doing things. I would recommend the use of OneFile to anybody. ''

''At first, I was a little apprehensive. The fact that everything is computerised means there are no documents to be stored, lost or left at home when you may need them at work. All in all I really enjoyed undertaking the NVQ. Being online, I could access it from work, at home and even in California with my husband on company business. Using OneFile made a valuable and pleasurable difference. ''

''Completing my NVQ using OneFile was really easy. No hassle of paperwork getting lost or mixed up and all my work was there in front of me! The whole OneFile package was really easy, straightforward to use and simple to follow. I would recomend OneFile to all new candidates. ''

''Fantastic experience. I have highly recommended this to my colleagues and see this as a positive step forward in progressing with vocational learning. The flexibility allows for a very individual learning approach and is easily accessable by assessor, IV and EV. ''

''I have found OneFile a very useful and easy application. I have found it exceptionally easy to access my account and keep myself informed and up to date with my course progress. It has been an absolute delight to use this facility and I would recommend this system to anyone. ''

''Recently I completed my NVQ2 in care using OneFile, which was so easy. OneFile is straight forwarded and easy to follow. I would recommend people to ask to use OneFile.''

''OneFile has been a great way to communicate with my assessor. Being able to see my progress, and the comments made by my assessor gave me the boost I needed to keep on completing my assisgnments. I found the site easy to 'click around'. For anyone just starting out you won't find this site complex. Just brilliant. OneFile - thank you! ''

''I use OneFile approx. once every 2 weeks and I think it is a great way of doing things as I can sign off my work in my own time no matter where I am in the world at the time. Which is very convenient as I'm in the Army and cannot go to college. All in all a great site! ''

''I have been using OneFile for 3 months and I think it is fab! It is so easy to navigate around the site, the colours are bright and everything is so organised. All of this makes using OneFile fun. What an absolutely fantastic website!!! ''

''I am enjoying using OneFile at home, it is great that you can use the system 24/7. The progress chart is very good as it gives you an incentive to carry out your tasks and see the green bar moving across to show where you are for each particular unit. ''

''After the initial trepidation of using a new computer system, I was really pleased with my OneFile experience. The system was easy to access and to navigate and with the link to email I could quickly see any new contacts from my NVQ assessor, or send her my messages and questions. OneFile enabled me to upload and store information during my working day as and when I found suitable material to meet the requirements: truly user friendly. ''

''OneFile enabled me to receive tasks from my assessor which made things a lot quicker and easier. I could upload completed work with ease. One of my favourite sections of OneFile was the progress section. This broke my NVQ down per unit, so I could quickly tell where I needed to focus my work in order to complete my NVQ faster. In my opinion I completed my NVQ and Key Skills in half the time. Thank you OneFile! ''

''I think that the OneFile system is by far the best on-line portfolio I have ever used. I use Onefile daily as an assessor and IV and occasionally as an administrator. I feel that the system continues to evolve and improve. All of the candidates that we have taken through their qualifications have been very impressed and it has contributed greatly to their positive learning experience.''

''I completed my NVQ Level 2 in Housing in record time due to OneFile! The great thing about OneFile is how easy it makes it to provide evidence and how inspiring it is to watch my little green bars notch up. It didn't feel like I was studying at all, it slotted in so neatly with my every day job. I definitely think that without the ease of use that OneFile provided I wouldn't have been able to complete my NVQ, definitely not as fast and maybe at all. ''

''OneFile has enabled me to work on my NVQ at my leisure, it's fabulous!! I am not tied to a classroom, I can work on my assignments at my own pace in my own time. Without it I would not have been able to do the course......Thank you OneFile!!! ''

''Brilliant.... does just what it says - OneFile - no need to carry around masses of paper - better for the environment too.... ''

''I have really enjoyed doing an NVQ Level 3 in Management as it has refocused me on my job role and allowed me to realise the opportunities for improvement and change. OneFile has been extremely easy to use and I love the way it plots your progress. I will definitely be going on to do a Level 4 straight away if available. For me it has provided an opportunity to have a qualification in a job I have been doing for 15 years.''

''OneFile has had a huge impact on how we deliver qualifications. Thanks to OneFile we are now more effective and efficient.''

''I have found the whole experience with OneFile is a fantastic way of learning a new skill. OneFile helps you to keep your training separate from your day job; you can set aside some time each day and then sign onto OneFile and concentrate on whatever task you or your tutor has set. My tutor is great and we use OneFile to collate evidence and she can give me supportive messages which give me great encouragement. OneFile is very easy to access; you can access it at work or at home and it is very user friendly. I am recommending this method of distance learning to all my friends.''

''I have had a great experience using OneFile. It is straight forward and easy to use. Everything you need can be found easily and it has good resources. It has made studying for my NVQ ITQ for IT users Level 2 so much simpler.''

''OneFile is a great way of doing an NVQ. This is my first NVQ and I have found using OneFile so easy, very informative and quick to use. It keeps you in touch with your progress instantly and also with your verifier. OneFile contains all the information needed to complete your NVQ quickly - but thoroughly. I like the fact that I can do voice recordings with my assessor and they can be up-loaded and counted towards my NVQ. I also like that I can easily see where gaps are in the work that I have done so far and I can keep a track on my overall progress.''
