My tutor, Heather Evans, has been the best throughout my course. I did a Level 3 Lead Adult Care course with her, and she was so helpful and patient with me. I have nothing but praises for her leadership and judgement throughout my journey. I would recommend her to anyone who wishes to take the course in future. Thank you very much Heather.

Heather Evans, she helped me so much the past few months & wouldn’t of achieved it without her support, I only had her for a few months & I feel like I learnt so much in such short time, always replied and picked up the phone when I needed advice, thankyou!

My experience has been very overwhelming as I started with one tutor and ended up asking for a different tutor and was behind on my work but was able to complete in just 4weeks and thanks to Simone she made those 4weeks seem like I had enough time , such an amazing tutor I must say I would not have done this without her and Joanne . I would say it has really been a great experience as I now have more knowledge and I am more confident in my role.

I found my tutors and assessors all very supportive and accommodative as it was my first time to do the apprenticeship.

I have just completed my Level 5 Health and Social Care Apprenticeship and passed with distinction! I would never have been able to achieve this without my amazing tutor Laura Barlow. Honestly, i can not thank Laura enough for her patience when i was falling behind due to a crazy work schedule, her optimism and encouragement when I thought my assignments weren't good enough, her being at the end of the phone despite her busy work load, she is an absolute credit to Paragon! Also, I'd like to mention the great tutors on the workshops who helped me through my maths exam, thank you! If you're looking to gain a qualification in health and social care I'd highly recommend Paragon.

I'm completely overwhelmed with relief having passed my Level 5 in health and social care with a distinction! After a very challenging period in my personal circumstances, which put me behind in my work feeling ready to give up, Laura B came to my rescue and got me through with so much positive support. I had doubted my own abilities, like many others completing the qualification alongside a full time management role, Laura kept me motivated and provided extra support with no question. Laura set out a realistic workloads despite having less time to get completed. The system on Bud could be a little tricky to navigate at times, Laura was always on hand to give me advice without delay. Having been in care for 11 years and working up from a support worker, I am now ready to apply for my CQC registration thanks to the knowledge gained through working on the job and my level 5 with paragon skills. I would highly recommend them and can't thank Laura enough for pushing me in a way that inspired me and has given me a result I could never have imagined would be achievable.

I can honestly say that the support and guidance I received with my tutor Joanne Heritage and the company was amazing. They delivered a method of knowledge which enabled me to achieve merits in both my exams. Iam truly thankful for this. Would recommend this training platform.

Support from Laura over the last few months has been amazing. She has been brilliant at motivating and keeping in contact, giving me the last push to complete my Level 5. Would definitely recommend her as a tutor, a real shame I didn’t have her from the beginning.

I qualified with a distinction in my level 3 Early Years Educator. Sharon at Paragon was my tutor. She was unbelievably skilled, helpful, kind and really went above and beyond. The course itself, now dont get me wrong was hard but the reward is worth it as it really sets you out from the crowd! The programme is in depth and puts you in good stead to work in the early years field and or to further your knowledge in the area. Highly highly recommended usuing paragon and the highly trained tutors they have on hand. Sharon my distinction was as much down to you as it was me. Forever grateful to you and paragon!

When I started my experience with paragon skills I was set with a tutor, I had this tutor for a couple months and really struggled. When I then changed my tutor to Sharon the way in which I work changed completely and I was finally able to get fully stuck in to my learning. Sharon was always on the other end of the phone, to help with questions I had (no matter how many times I had asked the same question) if something didn’t make sense after she explained it, Sharon ensured she found other ways to get this information to me in ways I could get my head around. Sharon worked very closely with me and the incredible team at Filthy Squirrels to ensure I was hitting my targets and going above and beyond. I am very thankful for Sharon and the hard work she put in with me!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience learning with Paragon Skills. The BUD programming is extremely easy to navigate and follow which makes it easy for learners to track their progress. My tutor, Sophie Hampshire, was so helpful and extremely efficient when it came to helping me achieve my set goals. Any queries that I had were always responded to as soon as possible. Sophie made me feel extremely comfortable and is so easy to talk to. I definitely recommend Paragon Skills as an excellent apprentice training provider.

I can not thank Jo Murray enough for the help, support, encouragement and guidance she has given me throughout the time she has been my tutor. I passed my Level 3 in Health and Social Care because of the support she has given me, many times I was ready to give up, she took the time to support me and encourage me that I could do it and she took the time to explain things to me in a way I would understand. Thank you so Much Jo! I really appreciate everything you have done for me. You’re a one in a million tutor and you should be recognised for the work that you do.

I am writing to express all my appreciation to my assessor Dawn King for her fantastic work, help and support over the last two years. The quality of her work and communication has been excellent. I enjoyed each conversation, meeting and video call. She was always very understanding regarding any my private situation and she never had any concerns to reschedule meeting or give extra time for my work. It was so helpful to have someone like Dawn Kind as a assessor, who has had experience , knowledge ,kind heart and always the extra effort. Thank you for all your help Dawn, I really appreciate.

Thank you to Paragon Skills particularly my tutor Laura B for making my NVQ Level 3 in Lead Adult Social Care fun and straight forward to complete. Laura was very thorough made sure I was keeping up with my work without falling behind and definitely kept me on my toes. I probably wasn't the easiest learner to work with because of my laid back approach but I went up a gear towards the end of the NVQ and powered through the finish line. Thanks Laura for the small journey we made together.
