I recently completed my Level 3 qualification with Paragon Skills. Over the past year, I've had the privilege of being guided by my tutor, Emma, who has been absolutely fantastic. Her support, encouragement, and expertise were invaluable throughout the entire course. Emma's dedication to her students is truly commendable. She was always available to answer any questions, provided detailed feedback, and kept me motivated every step of the way. Thanks to her guidance, I achieved a distinction, something I am incredibly proud of. Paragon Skills has a well-structured program, and the resources provided were top-notch. The entire journey was smooth, from enrollment to completion. I highly recommend Paragon Skills to anyone looking to further their education, and a huge thank you to Emma for making this possible!
Seeing as I’ve just completely my NVQ Level 2 health & social care with a massive help from my tutor Heather Evan’s. The signing up process was easy, constant support throughout completing my units from heather. She gave me the push I needed to complete this and pass with a merit. Couldn’t thank her enough.
Emma Taylor is the best tutor!! I could not have completed my NVQ as quickly and efficiently as I did without the support of Emma. She was efficient, helpful and kind at all times. Emma always answered my questions, no matter how silly they were, and with very quick response times. After I finished my NVQ, I even recommended Emma to a colleague of mine, who has also built a great relationship with her already. Thank you so much, Emma! ❤️
Recently completed level 5, had great support from my tutor Laura Barlow. Good course, lots of interesting modules, highly recommended.
I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to my tutor Dawn King, for her dedication and expertise have been a guiding light throughout my apprenticeship in Level 4 Children, Young People and Families Practitioner Dawn's unwavering support and encouragement have made a difference in my learning journey. She genuinely cares about my success and always goes the extra mile to help. Dawn, you've taught me so much and also built my confidence immensely. Thank you so much for making this a lovely achievement I couldn't do without you, Dawn🙏🏾💙. Many Thanks Muna Ahmed
I have felt very supported from my assessor Suzanne. She has guided me through my level 5 course and given supported and answered questions when I have needed support. I have also felt welcomed and could ask her anything! I have nearly come to the end of it with her guidence and support all the way through!Thankyou
I cannot recommend Martin enough as a tutor. He supported me to achieve a level 5 operations manager qualification and I managed to achieve a distinction grade. He is extremely knowledgeable, obliging and will go above and beyond to help you achieve your results.
Jade Elliott is a fabulous tutor. She is amazing in every aspect of my learning experience. She is always there to tailor me through with any challenges during this my apprenticeship Adult care level 3 journey. The few months I spent with you made me feel that I can get anything l put my mind to get .How l wish l could complete my apprenticeship with you! Nevertheless, the real impact has been established. I wish you the best in your career as a fantastic tutor..l actually refer to you as all round tutor because you also touched me psychologically. Thanks a lot . Fola.
My tutor, Shireen, went above and beyond to make sure I got the support to complete my lvl3 NVQ in Lead Adult Care. Absolutely lovely and understanding about my needs as a neurodivigent individual, and that worked with me to find the best ways of working for me as an individual. The company has good communication and will let you know what they need of you. The learning platform is easy to navigate and works well.
Just completed my nvq level two with an overall grade of a merit , I wouldn’t have achieved this without the support of my tutor Kate! Very supportive and formal when it came to discussion and learning points throughout my course , would highly recommend !
I have just finished submitting all my work for my health and social care level 5 and I am preparing for End point assessment. I can honestly say, if I did not have so much support from my tutor Sophia Nichol, I would never have finished this, she has been hugely supportive throughout the whole corse and given me the confidence and support to finally have finished submitting all my work! I cannot thank her enough, she had confidence in me from day 1. I have worked with many providers for NVQ’s and can honestly say this is the best experience I have had and the most supportive Tutor I have had, this makes a huge difference to people completing qualifications! Thank you Sophia!
Being a mature student in my 50's was always going to be daunting but my worries were put at ease by the tutors. The encouragement from Jordan really got me through. Towards the end when it is really busy and stressful I had 1 to 1 sessions with Jordan and sent all the material I would need. I am not going to lie, it was hard, working and studying, especially with huge changes happening within the company but I am so glad I stuck at it.
First time using this company and my tutor was amazing throughout the duration of my course.
I have recently completed level 4 apprenticeship with Paragon skills. I got all learning materials, excellent support from my tutor who help me to finish early. Highly recommended
I couldn’t rate paragon skills more highly! My tutor Naomi Thompson, has been the best tutor I could ask for. She was always there for me academically and mentally. She was so kind and caring when I needed her. I wouldn’t have passed without Naomi, thank you for being a tutor and a friend!!
I have recently just completed my Lead Adult Care Worker Level 3 with Paragon and overall I have had a really positive experience. I worked well with Anita Morris and Hayley Worth who were both really supportive and gave me confidence and reassurance throughout.
Two passes in a week for Adult Social Care Level. Thank you Kirsty Welding for the amazing support you have given to my team, always there for them, and now they get to use their skills in service. Thank you.
So I enrolled in my health and social care level 3 believing i would breeze through as a I did level 2 but with life and work, I at first found it really daunting. My amazing tutor (Jo Murray) not only put up with my sluggish momentum but supported me completely throughout and best of all believed in me when I didn’t myself. I would recommend paragon to everyone.
Completed my L3 Business Administrator Diploma with a Distinction this week!! Learning with Paragon Skills has been great! The platform of learning was simple, easy to use and gave me the tools I needed. As for my tutor Emma Taylor, she is fantastic, patient, gave me so much encouragement and support and explained everything I required each step of the way! She is an asset to Paragon Skills and should I ever do another apprenticeship, I hope I get to work with her again!

Aug 23,2024I had a very rough time with my apprenticeship to transferring settings , having to reschedule multiple EPA’s, and much more. My training provider Sophie Hampshire has been so patient and calm with me all throughout and has supported me through my whole journey. But I am now a qualified childcare practitioner and can’t wait to begin my future to progressing and learning! Thank you to everyone at paragon skills for the continued support and guidance.
