What made my experience great was the consistent support, guidance, and encouragement I received throughout my NVQ Level 3 programme. My personal tutor, Joanne Heritage, was always approachable, patient, and motivating, which helped me stay confident and focused during my learning journey. The programme allowed me to develop valuable practical skills, increase my knowledge, and apply what I learned directly within my role. I especially appreciated the personalised support, constructive feedback, and regular communication that helped me progress successfully.

Joanne Heritage is an amazing, knowledgable and excellent driven tutor who guided me with her wealth of experience to completing my Level 2 Adult Care Worker apprenticeship.

My Tutor Joanna Heritage was amazing , she took her time to explain everything i didn’t understand, i was able to excel at my Level 3 program due to her expert tutoring.

The start of my NVQ was a bit rocky as I had lots of trainers leaving and on occasions I was left without any work set. I also hadn’t had any observations done at all but thanks to Kirsty Welding she got me sorted out! That’s the reason for my 5* review!! She came and completed my observations and was brilliant with giving me feedback and support. If I could recommend any trainer it would be Kirsty! Thank you for all you did! Proud to have walked away with a distinction! :)

I have just completed my adult care worker NVQ L2 qualification with Paragon skills. My tutor Kirsty Welding was amazing. She was very supportive, explained everything to me and help me prepare for my EPA. I have passed with an overall grade, distinction. Which I'm very happy with.

I have just completed a Level 3 course with Paragon Skills and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The course has significantly boosted my professional knowledge and provided me with practical skills that I can apply directly to my role.

A huge thank you to my tutor, Kirsty Welding. Her support throughout the programme was incredible; she was always there to offer guidance, keep me motivated, and ensure I stayed on track to succeed.

I also want to highlight the quality of the workshops. The tutors who led them made the sessions incredibly immersive and well-constructed. They weren’t just workshops; they were engaging environments.

If you are looking to progress your career, I highly recommend Paragon Skills!

My first tutor with Paragon, I won’t name and shame, I felt very put down by and disheartened. Once I had Lydia Fox as my tutor, I was flying!! She is so supportive, kind and would do anything for anyone! I completed my Level 3 Lead Adult Care qualification with a Merit and Distinction, Merit overall. I could not have done it without Lydia!! She adapted things to my preferred way of working and made things so much simpler. Could not be more thankful🫶🏼

I’ve recently completed my level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker with a double distinction. I couldn’t have done it without my amazing tutor Lydia Fox ! The amount of support I’ve received, the resources that were shared and the entire learning process has been extremely beneficial. It hasn’t been easy but with the support it’s so worth it ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice helpful and rewarding experience. Support, guidance and enthusiasm from tutors was excellent and they very understanding and helpful with any problems or concerns you have. Help and support you to learn and progress all way through. Responsive and person centred throughout.

Heather Evans enabled me to believe in myself and grow my confidence.
Her workshops were always fun and enjoyable and has a vast amount of knowledge and skills to share. I could always rely on her if I needed help, she’s truly amazing.

Absolutely fantastic and so worth doing ! I started my level 4 after not doing any levels for quite sometime so I was nervous to say the least but found there was such good support that helped me to feel confident to get started. As time went on things in my personal life happened but again I had so much support during my course to help me to be able to continue. I have enjoyed doing my level 4 and would absolutely recommend anyone to do this as I have gained more skills and knowledge along the way that has supported my role within my job. Now I have passed I am absolutely thrilled and will use my new skills and my knowledge to run my shifts at work. Thank you so very much for all of the support it’s absolutely ment the world and I am so happy that I have passed.

I have not started yet but per what I was briefed about i think I made best decision and am looking forward to learn a lot from you. Good luck to myself.

my personal tutor for my level 3 was matt glaves, what an amazing tutor, always on the other side of the phone for support, easy to communicate with, supported me consistently with my end point assessment and praised me constantly. the workshops was easy to understand, all of the team from paragon skills have been brilliant with me. i couldn’t ask for a better personal tutor, although the work was hard Matt ensured me it was worth it and i feel amazing passing both my epa.

I completed my Level 2 Diploma Adult Care Worker with Paragon Skills. The modules and workshops were of great benefit to me gaining a base level of understanding for my work role. The workshops were easy to book, and the tutors had a mountain of knowledge to share and advise learners. I had a personal tutor who unfortunately had to leave before I completed the Diploma, but then was given Matt Glaves as my tutor to help get me over the finish line. Nothing was too much trouble and he was on the end of the phone or email when I needed help. I would recommend paragon skills to anyone just starting out in the care sector to help them gain more knowledge about their primary roles and how to best support individuals. I look forward to do doing my Level 3 with Paragon Skills in the future.

I think Paragon skills is a good training provider and offer Excellent resources for anyone being able to complete their Diploma i definitely recommend them. My Tutor Sam was Amazing throughout and nothing was too much trouble if I was not sure of Anything she would be there to work with me and guide me so that I understood. I found Sam to have a positive friendly and professional attitude to her work and really made me feel at ease. Sam is a credit to Paragon or anyone working with her. The two ladies doing my exam and test were also very lovely and professional.

I’ve successfully completed my NVQ Level 2 and had a really positive experience throughout. The support from everyone involved was amazing, and I always felt encouraged along the way. A special thank you to Lydia, the 1:1 sessions made a huge difference for me and really helped me get back on track.

My tutor kirsty welding has literally dragged me through my course, even when I wanted to give up she didn't let me and gave me the encouragement and self belief that I could do it and achieve the highest grade possible, communication is excellent, she takes the time to explain things to you in more context if you need it. Kirsty definitely goes above and beyond for her students and is an asset to paragon skills, thanks kirsty!

My experience from the beginning to the end was very professional. My trainer Sara was amazing. She supported me due to having dyslexia. She was there every time I needed any help Help guidance ought to be able to translate the paperwork into easy read
