Level 3 completion

I have just completed my Level 3 in Adult Leadership. I passed with a Distinction and I could not be happier. All thanks to my tutor Maria Bela Mota. Maria supported me throughout my qualification in every single way and was there when I ever needed her. It took me 2 years to complete as I had a short break for maternity leave in the middle. I started with 2 children and I finished with 3.
Thanks again to Paragon and a massive thanks to Maria for all the support.

Thank you for your lovely review, Katie, and huge congratulations on achieving a Distinction in your Level 3 Adult Leadership apprenticeship!

Completing your qualification over two years, through maternity leave and all the challenges that come with it, is an incredible achievement. Well done, we’re very proud of you!

Second apprenticeship!

I have recently completed my second apprenticeship this time - L3 team leader and I am pleased to say I got another distinction. The support I got from my tutor Debbie was perfect, as I have been fortunate to have Debbie as my tutor for both. She understood the way in which I work and tailored her approach to my learning style. I am sad that my journey has now ended with Debbie, but you never know there may (and I hope!) to do another apprenticeship and Debbie is my tutor. I now feel more confident as team leader and I can’t wait to use my new found skills once I return from maternity leave.

I had a truly wonderful experience during my level 3 lead adult care apprenticeship, and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my trainer, Kate. From the very beginning, Kate was incredibly supportive, patient, and encouraging, always taking the time to explain things clearly and guide me whenever I needed help. Her dedication, professionalism, and positive attitude made a huge difference in my learning journey.
Kate’s guidance helped me build confidence, improve my skills, and stay motivated throughout the programme. She genuinely cares about her learners and always goes the extra mile to ensure we understand and succeed. Thanks to her support, my apprenticeship experience was not only educational but also enjoyable and inspiring.
I’m very grateful for all the effort she put into supporting me, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and committed trainer. Thank you, kate, for making my apprenticeship journey such a positive and memorable one!

NVQ LEVEL 3 APPRENTICESHIP

​I have just successfully completed my NVQ Level 3 Apprenticeship, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have made it to the finish line without the incredible support of Paragon Skills.
​A massive, heartfelt thank you goes to my personal tutor, Jolene Hornsby. Just days before my End Point Assessment (EPA), I was exhausted and ready to give up. Jolene refused to let me quit; she stepped in with the exact encouragement I needed, telling me she knew I could do it and that she was expecting nothing less than a distinction. Her belief in me gave me the second wind I needed to succeed.
​I also want to mention Heather Evans for her solid and impactful workshops, which were instrumental in my learning. Thank you to the entire Paragon team and every staff member who played a part in my success story. If you’re looking for a provider that truly cares about their learners, I cannot recommend them enough!

level 3 experience

I was new to Paragon Skills and I feel like I had a great experience through the whole process to get my level 3. The workshops with Luke, Judy and Heather were engaging and the time always flew by and helped me gain confidence without even realizing it. I was very behind and had 2 months to complete 9 consolidation activities and my tutor Shireen was so attentive and helpful being available daily for support and through her help I was able to catch up and get an overall distinction on my EPA. Couldn't recommend it more to people wanting to do level 2, 3 or higher.

Team Leading - Level 3

I recently completed the Level 3 Course in Team Leading and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The course content was well-structured, practical, and highly relevant to real-world leadership and management situations. It really helped me build confidence in my leadership skills and apply what I learned directly to my role.

A special mention has to go to my personal tutor, who was fantastic. Their guidance, encouragement, and constructive feedback made a huge difference to my learning experience. They were always approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in my progress.

Sam has been absolutely amazing throughout my Lead Adult Care Level 3 journey. Her support, encouragement, and clear guidance made such a difference, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tutor. She was always approachable, motivating, and took the time to make sure I fully understood everything. Thanks to her dedication and support, I achieved an overall distinction. I’m extremely grateful and would highly recommend Sam to anyone starting their apprenticeship.

Thank You.

I have just completed my Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker Apprenticeship. Although this wasn’t easy for me as it entails a lot of commitment regardless of what you have going on in your other life. The workshops were a real highlight of the programme. The coordinators Heather and Luke consistently created an engaging and welcoming space that encouraged participation and learning. I would also like to acknowledge my tutor, Sam, for overseeing my progress and supporting the completion of the apprenticeship requirements.
I believe that with the help of Paragon my work practices and opportunities have improved and I’m happy I completed my training.

Tutor made a huge difference

I have been completing my NVQ Level 4 in health and social care, whilst working full time as a registered service manager. I had a few setbacks at the start due to changes in my tutor but then I was assigned to Alyson Scott and she made a huge difference to my experience. She spent time with myself and my deputy who is also completing a qualification. She supported us, explained topics in a way that we could relate to. Gave us guidance when we needed it and was available when we needed her.

My experience in my NVQ Level 2 was inspirational. Although I’m not a very technical person online, my tutor Sarah Conebar was extremely helpful to me to set up my learning and prepare very well for my tests and eventually exams to which I’ve passed well. I’m immensely proud of her efforts to reach this milestone.
The way the course was set and delivered was simple enough for me to continue reviewing models, discussions and executing tasks ….were possible due to my friendly tutors.
The extraordinary assistance I got from Sarah Conebar had encouraged me to attempt NVQ Level 3.
