Thanks to Ms. Sarah and Ms. Jolene for such a great support to me and taught me a lot beyond what I expected. I ensure that I will continue to learn more and support others.

Doing my NVQ level 3 lead adult care wasn’t easy, having gone through a few tutors and unable to find work life balance it was a real struggle specially because I work nights. Once I was paired with Jolene Hornsby, she was able to create a schedule that was more suited to me and my work, she checked in with me and my progress regularly and was always making sure I understood the workload. I’m really grateful for her support as some of my colleagues dropped out after a few tutors change. I’m glad I stuck with it otherwise I wouldn’t have finished this course nor come across a tutor who values and understands the work life balance and can create a safe learning environment to help us achieve our goals.

My teacher Sarah was amazing, sooo helpful, kind, caring, lovely and really nice. Problem is the 2 teachers before her were not helpful at all.
It was not a nice experience, I would not do it again, unless I would have such a brilliant teacher as Sarah from the start. I don't know why Paragon employs teachers who don't have a clue what they are doing.

I have completed my NVQ 3 lead adult care worker and found the experience great, my personal tutor Gurpreet has been amazing and I felt extremely supported throughout, I found the workshops with Luke and Heather very informative and felt at ease and very welcome. A big thank you to Gurpreet and both Luke and Heather for all the support 😊

I completed my level 5 apprenticeship- leader in Adult care in December 2025. It was a challenge completing this whilst working as a deputy manager of a nursing home but the learning was exciting, I learned things about my job role that supported me to make real life changes. Jac Smith my tutor was so supportive, we chatted through the challenges of leadership and I grew every day. She believed in my ability the whole way through even when I didn't!
I am now a registered home manager utilising my learning and learning even more!
Thank you Jac for the push and confidence....I couldn't have done it without you!

Joanne Heritage has been an exceptional NVQ Level 3 tutor, and I genuinely could not have completed my qualification without her support. She stood by me during some very difficult times at work and through personal challenges, never making me feel rushed or pressured. She encouraged me to take a short break when I needed it, stayed in touch, and consistently motivated me to keep going until I successfully completed my NVQ with a distinction.
Her feedback was always extremely detailed, clear, and focused on real learning and improvement rather than just passing the course. She has a real talent for bringing out the best in people and building confidence alongside professional knowledge.
I am also very grateful to the other tutors who supported me through workshops, onboarding, and arranging assessments. Overall, this has been an outstanding, supportive learning experience, and I would highly and confidently recommend Joanne Heritage and the team to anyone considering an NVQ

I didn’t know what I was expecting for completing an NVQ level 2 but my trainer Harisa Ahmed gave me the chance to complete this. I am thankful for her for being understanding and patient and helping me to complete this. I would highly recommend this, not only does it show how much you already know but gives you the chance to learn new things that you maybe didn’t know

I had the best experience at Paragon Skills, doing my level 4 lead practitioner in Adult Care. My tutor Grace Babaloba went the extra mile for me, fitting learning sessions around my busy family life. She gave me the support I needed and extra sessions surrounding my end point assessment which meant I was able to achieve a Distinction. Highly recommend!!!!

Starting my NVQ level 3 (Adult lead care worker) was a struggle initially, with juggling work and family life. However I had a lovely tutor in Jolene Hornsby. Who developed an a tailored plan to enable me to successfully complete my course. She kept me motivated and scheduled weekly meetings to reinforce my understanding.

I recently completed my NVQ Level 3, and I am very grateful for all the support I received. As English is not my first language, I often felt nervous, but everyone made me feel welcome and helped me throughout the process.
A special thank you to my tutor, Jacqui B. She was always there for me and gave me the guidance I needed to succeed. I really appreciate her patience and encouragement. I couldn't have done it without her!
Thank you for making my learning experience so positive!

I had a great learning experience with Paragon Skills from start to finish. My tutors and trainers (Hannah Ratcliffe, Karolina Patrickson, Naomi Graham, Jacqui Beswick and Jackie Raymond) were dedicated, responsive, very professional and genuinely invested in my success. I felt well supported throughout and would highly recommend Paragon Skills to anyone pursuing a vocational qualification.

I can honestly say that all the great support I received from Jolene Hornsby was amazing. She is so good at explaining things. She also spent time with me making sure I understood and never had a problem if I asked the same questions. I have already told others about this course and hopefully they will start soon.

I have just finished my Level 3 NVQ with Paragon Skills and I cannot recommend them enough. The process has been smooth and rewarding all the way through.
A shout out to Jolene Hornsby, my tutor/mentor. She could not have been more supportive the whole way through. She was always there to explain things, encourage learning and clear up confusing parts of the work. The support had a huge impact on my confidence and ability to keep focus on gaining my qualification.
The materials offered by Paragon were top-notch, well organized, and easy to use, but it was the personal/human support that made this experience so extraordinary. If you are considering progression and are looking for a level 3 then I would urge you to look at Paragon Skills – and if you get Jolene Hornsby as your tutor, you’ll flourish!"
