My tutor Shireen, was essentially the reason I am where I am with the results I have. She had endless patience with me, which she definitely needed at times.

The Supportive and dedicated team at Paragon Skills gave me the opportunity to thrive and flourish in my role as a Peer Support Worker. I have just completed Level3 Peer Worker Apprenticeship with Paragon Skills. The Guidance, Knowledge and skills of the subject from Nick Creswick (tutor) are incomparable, unique,and well deserved recognition. I have completed my apprenticeship with ease. The apprenticeship was very informative, insightful and engaging. Utilising always real examples from the work and applying it with theories and knowledge gained from the apprenticeship. This apprenticeship is recommended for anyone working as a Peer Support Worker as it provides with skills and knowledge that you will not receive from anywhere and fills the gap in understanding the role of peer work, the history of peer work as well as other imperative topics. For me, as an apprenticeship, I was very much interested in Emotional Intelligence topic which I found very eye opener and lead me to see the service users and the colleagues in a different light. Keep up the excellent work Nicky.

I had a brilliant tutor, Anne Whykes, and Ella brown, they pushed me to my limits and believe in me when I didn’t believe in myself, they altered the way they learnt due to my struggling with dyslexia, and I couldn’t appreciate them more, they really help and break stuff down even when it gets hard. THANKYOU so much.

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.

Reply from Paragon Skills
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 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 ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
