Apr 03,2024Over the past 12 months I have been fortunate enough to have been guided through my NVQ Adult Care 2 by Jo Murray from Paragon Skills. The support and encouragement Jo has provided has helped me achieve distinctions in both my multiple choice exam and professional discussion. Jo’s approach is professional but also friendly and relaxed. This lady comes highly recommended.
