Excellent course and support from Kirsty Welding. Very responsive tutors throughout the whole course, didn’t need to wait very long for feedback or help. Professional approach to teaching. I am very grateful for the course and the quality of the work it helped me produce. I feel much more certain. Very professional team.

I’m so proud to have completed my Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker qualification! The journey was challenging, but the support from Shireen Zokaie was amazing from start to finish. She guided and reassured me every step of the way.
A big thank you as well to Heather, Luke, and Judy for the informative and enjoyable workshops. I loved learning new skills with such a supportive team.
Thank you, Paragon, for this opportunity. Excited to continue growing in my career!

I had a challenging start to my training due to issues with my previous tutors, which left me feeling behind with my assignments and lacking the support I needed. However, things completely turned around when Kirsty became my personal tutor.
Kirsty has been absolutely amazing throughout the remainder of my course. She took the time to understand where I was struggling, helped me get back on track with my assignments, and provided consistent support and encouragement every step of the way. Her communication was excellent, and she was always approachable, knowledgeable, and willing to help whenever I had questions.
Thanks to Kirsty's dedication and support, I was able to catch up on my work, regain my confidence, and successfully progress through my training. She is a real credit to the training provider, and her commitment to her learners is outstanding.
While my experience did not start positively, Kirsty's professionalism and support completely changed my view of the provider. I am very grateful for everything she has done and would like to thank her for helping me achieve my goals.

This nvq has had a lot of ups and downs which have left me in a limbo with getting it done and when I’m going to finish it due to a constant change in tutor. But Matt Glaves really has been the tutor that has pushed me to the finish, realistically I couldn’t have finished without Matt and I received a double distinction

Completing my NVQ Level 3 has equipped me with advanced skills, deeper knowledge, and a more professional approach to my work. The qualification has strengthened my ability to work independently, make informed decisions and deliver high‑quality practice.
I would like to acknowledge my tutor Joanne Heritage for her exceptional support. Her expertise, constructive feedback and consistent encouragement played a key role in my success. Her dedication to my development has been outstanding.

I have just completed my NVQ Level 2 Adult Care with Paragon Skills. Halfway through the course I genuinely felt like giving up, but thanks to the tireless support, patience and encouragement from my tutor, Jolene Hornsby, I was able to continue and successfully finish. Jolene believed in me even when I doubted myself, and her dedication made all the difference. I highly recommend Paragon Skills and especially Jolene for anyone starting their care qualification.

I was supported all through my level 3 qualification by my tutor Matt Glaves who was always available to respond to my questions. His encouragement and tips during my EPA made a lot of difference in my overall grade. Thank you very much Matt.

Completing my NVQ level 3 with Paragon Skills was a great experience. The excellent support and guidance from my tutor Elizabeth Naude throughout the course is a major reason i didnt give up half way. I doubted myself but she never gave up on me. Through regular check-ins and the encouragement which kept me motivated. I especially appreciated the flexibility of the course, allowing me to balance my studies alongside work despite the family challenges that made me pause the course at some point. Learning resources were clear and easy to follow which helped in building my confidence and practical skills at work. Completing this qualification has no doubt helped me grow professionally and given me valuable knowledge that i can apply in my career moving forward. I will definitely love to continue my career growth with Paragon Skills

Rachel Birkinshaw has been an absolute credit to Paragon Skills throughout my Level 5 Leader in Adult Care qualification. From the very beginning, she has been supportive, approachable, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Her guidance, encouragement, and knowledge have made a huge difference to my learning journey and confidence as a leader within adult care.
Rachel always went above and beyond to provide support whenever needed. No question ever felt too small, and she always took the time to explain things clearly and in a way that was easy to understand and apply in practice. She consistently encouraged reflection, professional growth, and confidence building, which helped me not only complete the qualification successfully but also improve within my own leadership role day to day.
The standard of support and communication from Rachel has been outstanding throughout. She was always organised, responsive, motivating, and positive, especially during stressful periods leading up to the Professional Discussion and End Point Assessment. Her feedback was constructive, detailed, and tailored personally to me, which made a massive difference in helping me understand where I could improve and how to achieve the best outcome possible.
I have genuinely learnt a huge amount during this course, both professionally and personally. Rachel’s experience, patience, and commitment to learners clearly show why she is such a valuable asset to Paragon Skills. The company is very lucky to have someone so dedicated and passionate supporting learners through their qualifications.
I am extremely happy and proud to have passed my Level 5 qualification, and Rachel played a massive part in helping me achieve this milestone. I cannot thank her enough for all the support, reassurance, and encouragement she has given throughout the entire journey.
I would highly recommend Rachel and Paragon Skills to anyone considering further development within adult care leadership. It has been an amazing experience that exceeded my expectations from start to finish, and I now look forward to receiving my official certificate in the post with a real sense of achievement.

Finally, I’ve achieved my NVQ Level 3 qualification! I honestly couldn’t have done it without the amazing support from Kirsty Welding. From day one, she have been my pillar of strength throughout this journey.
There was a point where I felt like giving up, but then I thought about all the effort, encouragement, and belief she had invested in me, and that gave me the motivation to keep going. I didn’t want to disappoint someone who had supported me so much.
Thank you for always being patient, supportive, and encouraging. You truly make a difference in learners’ lives, and I hope you continue helping others the same way you helped me.
I highly recommend Paragon Skills.

My experience was so amazing. I had Lydia as my tutor and she was so attentive and supportive . She believed in me and does with all her learners , as a learner with additional needs she catered to my struggles/worries so well. She believed I could do it and I finished the Level 2 with a double distinction I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the belief and the support tailored to me! Paragon skills as a whole has been so efficient. I highly recommend!

Completing my Level 3 qualification has been a really positive and rewarding experience, and a huge part of that is thanks to my tutor, Nicky Creswick. Nicky has not only been an excellent tutor, providing clear guidance and support throughout, but has also gone above and beyond in her role.
During times when I was mentally struggling, Nicky showed genuine care, taking the time to listen and support me without judgement. Her understanding and encouragement made a real difference and helped me stay motivated and on track.
I’m incredibly grateful for her patience, dedication, and the supportive environment she created. I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor to guide me through this journey and she is a credit to Paragon!
