I am coming to the end of my apprenticeship level 2 and this company is amazing they have supported me throughout the whole apprenticeship apsolutely excellent experience i am very happy and will definetely be mentioned to futher possible apprentices
I had 3 tutors during my level 2 apprenticeship, my first tutor did not set me enough work so I was really behind. When she left the company nobody informed me and I went weeks without getting any information from anyone. Then I got my second tutor who had to set me a lot of work so I could catch up on what I was behind on. Things were okay for a while with her but I had difficulties understanding her as she wasn't very good at explaining things to me. Then I got another tutor Zoe Swinburn who made my life easier she helped me through the finally stages of my apprenticeship, she was super patient with me. She was truly an angel and really appreciate everything she did to get me to the end. Thank you for being so patient and for all the help!
In the first few months I had different assesors, but after finally having one stick (sara atkins) I managed to buckle down and complete my level 3, she helped encourage me to carry on even when I thought their was no chance of me completing the course so I am grateful for that. Thankyou for being so patient and for all the help
I have been working in partnership with Julie Proctor and Lisa Smith for several years now . Julie and Lisa are my key contacts in Paragon skills for our company apprenticeships in Accounting, Leadership, Customer service and Business administration. Both Julie and Lisa are quick to respond to any challenges, coupled with a can do mindset they really do go above and beyond in the service that they provide. I have asked for advice on many occasions on very different topics, There is always someone in the company that has gone out of their way to support even when there is no direct benefit for themselves. As someone who manages several training providers i highly recommend Paragon skills for their communiction,passion,and as previously mentioned support in all things learning. A special mention must go to Lisa and Julie as they make my job so much easier. Thankyou . They really are a great company to work alongside.
I’m really enjoying doing my Adult Care Level 2 apprenticeship and my tutor Shelley is amazing, very supportive and she is teaching in a different way so I can understand easily and get more confident and after completion my Level 2 I’m planning to do Level 3
Having been on the course now for the past 3 months, I can say that the course tutor has been really helpful throughout the start of the course. Communication has been great and I have found the website really easy to navigate. The activities within the course are more than adequate to enable me to achieve the qualification through an immersive learning experience. looking forward to the next 12 months :)
Navigating the website is very tricky. It does not say with clarity the courses that are completed and those that are not. It appears to me, those that are completed come up again and again. I'm tired of repeating the same assessments. If you really consider this feedback, please cross-check this.
I have been very disappointed with my experience with Paragon Skills. The course has not been delivered on time or to the standard expected. The communication from the college to myself and the employer has been suboptimal and I have not felt appropriately supported when concerns have been raised during my apprenticeship.
Was really informative knowing what was expected from me on the course, and also my tutor is great Charlotte has great communication with me, telling me what needs to be done and helpful tips.
Thank you all for your support
Not making much progress. My colleagues completed their qualification with a different company that seems to be more professional and willing to work with them in regards to visiting site.
my experience with paragon has been brilliant! bev my teacher is ever so helpful with anything i need
Fab, very kind and patient
I can feel huge difference in 5 Months in my emotions mean Streess Management and better communication with member of Staff and children. Amazing Teacher Zoe have a passion to dear with students, thanks to be on my way. Great experience with Paragon Skills.
Great tutors and content covered. Really enjoying the workshops and on-the-job learning. Had a blip with some communication at one point but everything was resolved. Great all-round experience regardless
I achieved a distinction grade for my level 3 early years qualification. I had Zoe as my assessor and she was absolutely brilliant. So lovely and always made me feel at ease and really boosted my confidence. Zoe always offered her support throughout my apprenticeship. I had a really good experience overall with Zoe as my tutor, I would highly recommend
Signed up 2 apprentices recently one level 2 and one level 3. Absolutely brilliant service from Carol Goring who is a complete professional, managing all of our expectations and supporting the learners on their new path. Extremely versatile when scheduling bookings from electronic ‘teams’ and face to face. The transition to Zoe (tutor/assessor) was smooth and another supportive profession who speaks in the language the young learners understand was incredibly welcome. Fantastic teamwork.
My experience with paragon skills was great, it was very useful and easy to use
I am extremely happy with the course and the tutor Sara that I had. I feel Sara encouraged me so much and made me strive to complete my course and feel without her I couldn’t have completed it.
