I have just completed my nvq l3 lead adult care worker with paragon skills. I had a long journey, having to have a break in learning due to family life but paragon were great in helping me through this and pushing me to finish when I was at the last hurdle, I’m so grateful I did it. My first few tutors weren’t the most helpful but my last tutor Jolene Hornsby really helped me get through it persevering with me - she really is a great asset to paragon.

Paragon skills have been so supportive with my diploma I have just completed! I want to especially thank Luke, Heather and Judy for all their encouragement and help, making the workshops informative as well as a time to interact with other students. Also another shoutout to Judy Baxter for all her ongoing support from start to finish giving me the confidence to push myself to achieve the top grade I achieved.

My tutor Joanne Heritage was always available throughout my course and supportive of my studies and endeavours. She paid attention to my needs and knew how to optimise my potential. She was always genuine in her concern towards me, I felt my tutor went the extra mile for me.
Thank you Joanne.

I recently completed my apprenticeship and I am very happy with my experience. English is my second language, so at the beginning I was a little worried about studying and completing all the work. It was not always easy and sometimes it was quite difficult, but thanks to my tutor everything went smoothly.
My tutor Joanne Heritage, was very patient, supportive and always explained things clearly. She helped me believe in myself and supported me through the whole course.
She was always helpful, understanding and patient. Whenever I had questions or needed extra explanation, she was there to guide me.
In the end I passed my apprenticeship with distinction, which made me very proud. I am very grateful for all the support and encouragement I received.
I would like to say a big thank you to my tutor and the whole apprenticeship programme. The course was challenging, especially because English is my second language, but with the right support it became a great learning experience.

Completing my NVQ Level 3 was a dream come true and goal I always wanted to achieve. I couldn’t have done it without paragon skills and my incredible Tutor Kate Underwood. Her patience, kindness, dedication and support throughout this journey was tremendous. Juggling between work, life and studies was taking a toll on me, but she was there to guide me through it all. I am immensely grateful for her and proud of my accomplishments.

We have been consistently impressed by the quality of service provided by Paragon Skills.

I'm not sure if my tutor, Racheal Wright would see this but she truly is brilliant and amazing. After I had tutors changed, she then came on board and smashed it from day one, with plenty of encouragement and knowledge sharing. Now I have completed my Level 3, with a distinction. Thanks Paragon Skills

She explained everything clearly, always made time to help, and genuinely cared about my progress. Her guidance made a huge difference to my confidence and success. I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor and would highly recommend Paragon Skills.

I have just completed my NVQ Level 3 in Adult Care Leadership with Paragon Skills with a distinction and I really had a positive experience from start to finish. The course was well-structured, supportive and helped me grow in both confidence and leadership within my role.
I especially want to thank my tutors, Jo Murray and Francesca Gilbert, for their continuous support and encouragement throughout my journey. They were always approachable, knowledgeable, and patient, making the whole process much less stressful. Their guidance, feedback, and motivation truly made a difference in helping me successfully achieve my qualification. Also thanks to my end point assessment coordinators Tina and Sophie for making the experience more relaxed.
I would highly recommend Paragon Skills to anyone looking to progress in adult care leadership. A fantastic learning experience with excellent tutor support.

Francesca was my tutor at the beginning of my course(NVQ 3)and I’m really grateful for her support. Starting a new course can feel overwhelming, but she made everything much easier to understand. She was patient, kind, and always willing to explain things clearly.
She helped me build a strong foundation and gave me confidence to continue. I truly appreciate the time and effort she put into helping me at the start of my journey.
Joanne Murry was my tutor from the middle of my course until I finished, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. She was always encouraging, supportive, and professional. Whenever I had questions or needed guidance, she was there to help.
She gave helpful feedback that really improved my work and kept me motivated until the end of the course. Thanks to her support, I was able to complete my course with confidence. I’m very thankful for everything she has done for me.
