Thank you, Paragon Skills, for assisting me to complete my Level 2 Adult Care and grateful to all the team. I would like to say thanks to Melissa Harris for the last month of the studies, being supportive, patient, and ready to go the extra mile to assist. With my studies for the year, I had different tutors for the course including the maths and English which the support was ok initially until the changes in the tutors due to them leaving the company which created a gap for more than two months for me doing nothing and that put pressure on me when the last tutor (Melissa) took over which things changed for the better until completion.
After having numerous tutors and being messed around. Kirsty Welding came along as my tutor, pushed me to the finish and gave me the support I’d never had with previous tutors. Couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you Kirsty. You are a credit to Paragon!
I have just completed my NVQ level 2 health care.

I couldn't ask any more. Thanks once more it's have been a wonderful experience.
Over the past year of doing my NVQ I have experienced a lot of support during my NVQ and my End Point Assessments. Naomi has been an amazing tutor and supported me through it all.
I've just completed my L5 Apprenticeship in Operational Departmental Management. My experience has been positive throughout. My tutor Martin Sharpe has been excellent, providing clear guidance in our regular progress meetings and has always been accessible if I've needed to ask any questions or gain feedback in between. I can't speak highly enough of the support that Martin has provided over the 2 years and would like to thank him for this. My learning experience has been fantastic, and all of the resources provided and the use of BUD where the work tasks are set and submitted is very user friendly. I would definitely recommend Paragon Skills to colleagues and friends.

I have just completed my apprenticeship with Paragon Skills. My tutor was Nicky Creswick and I couldn’t thank her enough for all of her hard work and dedication in pushing me to pass these exams.

Over the last one year of being an apprentice at paragon skills i have had a supportive Trainer, Yasmin Bolt. She was there when i needed support and ready to help. Thats why i had a Merit after finishing my course.
I have been doing level 3 Lead Adult care worker course with Joanne Murray for the past twelve months. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and kept my learning journey effective, engaging and fun. She helped me to understand my lack of awareness and helped me to stay focus and overcome my fear of writing. I have watched myself get through the course and grow in confidence and I'm honestly so glad I have had Joanne as my tutor. Further, she was always patient, quick and happy to respond and assist when I felt stuck and took careful measures in helping me grasp a concept that I struggled with. She made me really think about how I would come up with the answer and not give up. Over all she has been fantastic!!!. Am very grateful to have her by my side through this course. Thank you Joanne Murray.
I have had Yasmin Bolt supporting me to complete my diploma. She has been so supportive and informative. Highly recommend her to anyone wanting to complete an NVQ as a tutor. Thankyou Yas xx
Incredible people work here willing to go far more than just an extra mile to help. I can't thank them enough for their support
I've had Jordan as a tutor for the past 14 months and he has supported me throughout, from my transition to Paragon last year to finishing my apprenticeship, Jordan has always pushed and done his best to get the most out of me. Thank you Jordan and thanks to Paragon aswell
