I had a great tutor in Chris. He was incredibly supportive through the course and gave me the confidence to complete my units by encouraging me to use my experience to answer questions.
My tutor Sara was a great help all the way throughout the course whenever couldn’t understand something was always on hand to give me extra support. Sometimes the course was difficult but was given extra support to make sure I understand before continuing and was always helping according to my timetable thanks again sara
My tutor Mark Riston was an excellent tutor for my level 2 health and social care apprenticeship. Being a mature student I hadn’t been in education for over 16 years, at first I was overwhelmed with my Math, English and was ready for giving up but with the reassurance, the endless support, patience, Mark helped me ever step of the way. I Completed my Math, English, I passed my health and social care level 2 with a distinction this really wouldn’t have been possible without Mark’s amazing tutoring skills. I would highly recommend paragon skills they are amazing learning company that use fantastic learning tools to help with your course, this has gave me so much more knowledge helping me provide the best quality care to the people in which I care for. I especially enjoyed using bksk to help me get ready for my math, English test. Anyone looking to further there qualifications I would highly recommend asking your employer to put you through apprenticeship with paragon skills.

Paragon have been really helpful towards helping me achieve my qualification.Zoe has been amazing and has provided me with the knowledge to get me through.
I’m leaving a five star review only for the fact that the tutor that took over tutoring me towards the end was absolutely outstanding her name was Joanne Murray. I had fallen behind and had been really let down with my two previous tutors and even considered giving up my level 3 NVQ. But then Jo came along and supported right the way to the end and I can not thank her enough.
NVQ 3 Lead Adult Care Worker Hi I have completed the NVQ 3 just recently. It was a long and difficult process for me while working full time. Finished with a distinction! I am very grateful to my tutor Joanne Murray. She was extremely motivating and helped me to get through the tasks very effectively. I am very happy with this accomplishment. I would recommend to everyone the company and their lovely tutors, of course Joanne especially. Many thanks.
I was falling behind with completing my nvq 3 as my tutor left and was quite anxious. In stepped my new tutor Heather Evans! Wow she’s great! The support guidance and help she has given me was fantastic. It has given me the push to complete and today I found out I passed with a distinction. I can honestly say this would not have been possible without her ! Thanks again !
Completion of Level 2 Customer service. The staff are extremely caring and understanding of any situations i had - My tutor Zoe was always there for me either in relation to coursework or personal life. The work itself is fairly challenging i must say however it is laid out so well that i was able to understand it a lot. I somehow came out of my apprenticeship with 3 distinctions so i am grateful that Paragon provided me with the help that i needed to succeed within the apprenticeship. Overall, i would recommend doing an apprenticeship with paragon as they will be behind you all the whole way in both professional coursework manner and be understanding of all situations you may be going through personally whilst helping you achieve the qualifications. Great experience over the 15 months for me!
I have just completed my lead practitioner care level 4 I found the apprenticeship enjoyable and challenging at times. I have also undertake maths and English due to not having school exam certificate due to age . My tutor dawn king has been brilliant throughout and only a email,text or call away when guidance needed . Everyone involved right through apprenticeship from start to finish have been supportive offered great advice and guidance and helped me achieve the end goal of passing apprenticeship. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to further themselves.
I am really grateful for the amazing support that my tutor Heather Evans has given me in the last period of my apprenticeship, the most difficult, as I was really behind. We have managed to updated lots of work, mainly because she believe in me, and support me to get through lots of work. Millions of thanks Heather Evans.
Received appropriate guidance about my learning pathway
I can’t thank paragon skills enough for helping me through my level 3 childcare apprenticeship especially Zoe Swinburn who just constantly motivated me and really made see how much potential I have :)
Great tutors and easy access to the website.
I had a really understanding and helpful tutor. Couldn’t asked for anyone better to help me through my apprenticeship, Zoe explained everything perfectly and I was able to complete and pass my apprenticeship with the help of Zoe Swinburn
The things that makes my Experience great is that my trainer is super nice, she put a listening ears to every conversation. She shows great leadership and because of that I feel valued. She also try her best to let you get some opportunities to learning and development. And I like how the Company puts their people first.
Level 3 Lead carer I passed with 2 distinctions. I wouldn't have been able to achieve this, if it wasn't for the help of my tutor Mark Rishton. He helped guide and support me throughout my course. He is a brilliant tutor and would highly recommend.
I have been working through my NVQ for just over a year now, with the hope of completing it soon! Iv had a great experience all round, my tutor has always been just an email away and always being willing to help me out and quick to get me booked into Teams meetings. I would really recommend working with Paragon following my qualification with them.
