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!

I just want to say a big thank you to my Tutor Melissa Harris for all her support while I was completing my NVQ Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker.
From the start right through to the end, she was always there to guide me and fit things around my schedule, which really helped. Her coaching style was clear and supportive, and she explained everything in a way that made it easy to understand. She supported me through assessments and kept me motivated when I needed it.
I honestly couldn’t have finished it without her help, and I really appreciate everything she’s done. I would highly recommend her .

Completing my level 2 was a most fulfilling experience. The workload was manageable and course content easy to access. I was extremely lucky to have Lydia Fox as my tutor; she guided me with clarity, kindness and patience, and is a superbly knowledgeable mentor.
Lydia invested her time to reassure me, and actually get to know me as a person as well as a student. She is an exemplary professional.
I am grateful for the opportunity to learn, and achieve my distinction, with Paragon Skills.

I have recently completed my Level 3 Adult Care Worker apprenticeship. While I am proud to have finished with a distinction, the experience was challenging due to a lack of consistent support for much of the course.
My apprenticeship was expected to take one year but was significantly delayed because of issues outside of my control. At one stage, my tutor was changed without my knowledge, and for around six months I had no contact or access to support. During this time, modules were not uploaded to my portal, which meant I was unable to make any progress.
When contact was eventually re‑established, I did receive some support, but this was again disrupted due to staff absence and changes. The overall experience during this period felt disorganised and stressful.
However, everything changed when I was assigned Jolene Hornsby. She was outstanding from the very start—contacting me immediately, providing regular support, and breaking the work down clearly so it was easy to understand. With her help, I was able to complete the remainder of my apprenticeship in just three months.
I genuinely believe that without Jolene’s dedication and support, I would not have completed my apprenticeship, let alone achieved a distinction. She is a real credit to Paragon and made a huge difference to my experience.

"I had a fantastic experience learning with Paragon Skills. I am so grateful to my tutor, Joanne Murray, for her constant support and guidance throughout my course. She was always there to help, answer my questions, and encourage me every step of the way. Thanks to her patience and dedication, I successfully completed my NVQ Level 3 in Adult Care. I would definitely recommend Paragon Skills and Joanne to anyone looking to further their career!"

I’ve just completed my Level 3 Adult Care Apprenticeship and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I absolutely loved the course and learned so much along the way, both professionally and personally.
I do sometimes struggle with non-practical learning, but I was really well supported to build my confidence and improve these skills. My learning was tailored to suit my individual style, which made a huge difference and helped me achieve the best possible outcome.
The support throughout was amazing—especially from my tutor Lydia, who was always encouraging, helpful, and genuinely invested in my progress. The whole Paragon team were fantastic and made the journey really enjoyable.

The online training and the support from the trainers at Paragon Skills has been excellent. My tutors, Daniela Fangli and Lydia Fox, were so supportive, and Lydia was there to guide me and support me through my end point assessments. I would highly recommend them for learning new skills

I just completed my level 2 in adult social care and would like to thank my trainer Matt Glaves. Matt was always there when needed and his advice and support was much appreciated.

I had the best experience with my trainer, Kate Underwood. She supported me throughout the programme, ranging from taking time to read, correct and direct my submissions to making herself available during busy schedule to attend my observations. She is wonderful, and I appreciate her. With her support, I am able to get a distinction. I am very grateful.
The workshops were also very helpful, giving me insights to properly navigate the modules.
Overall Paragon Skills is a wonderful platform to learn.

Studying with Paragon taught me a whole different method of learning. I have for years studied the conventional way, but have found this new method for me very refreshing. With the support of very experienced and knowledgeable tutor called Jolene Hornsby even the most difficult task was simplified. In a recent teams call with her she gave me the most encouraging feedback that I will remember for the rest of my life. I am very grateful for the opportunity my employer Lavender Oaks Care Home and Paragon has given me in the next step of my career.
