Excellent Support Throughout My Learning Journey
I have had a very positive experience with Paragon Skills while completing my Level 3 Lead Adult Care qualification. The learning materials, workshops, and support provided throughout the course have helped me develop both professionally and personally.
I would particularly like to thank Heather and Kayleigh for their outstanding support and encouragement. They were always approachable, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile whenever I needed guidance. Their feedback was constructive, timely, and helped me build confidence in my work and prepare effectively for assessments.
What stood out most was the genuine commitment to learner success. The support I received helped me stay motivated, develop my skills, and achieve my goals. Many learners highlight the quality of tutor support and guidance at Paragon Skills, and my experience reflects this positive reputation.
I would highly recommend Paragon Skills to anyone looking to further their career in health and social care. Thank you to Heather, Kayleigh, and the wider team for making my learning journey such a positive and rewarding experience.
Highly recommended!

My Assessor Joanne Heritage.
From start to finish she has been utterly amazing.
As an older learner coming back into work and education after being off for a long time with my children I was apprehensive about what I could do and if I could do it... but from the 1st meeting Joanne couldnt have been any better.
She has guided me, listened to me, pushed me and believed in me even when I felt id reached my limit.
I wanted to complete this for my self, my children, to show them you can do anything if you put your mind to it and for Joanne, for all the time and effort she put into me.
I truly believe that without her help and guidance I wouldn't have completed today! For that I am so grateful.
Joanne, you are amazing and any future learner that is placed with you really is in safe hands.
Thank you for everything!!
Alexandra

I’ve recently completed my level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker with a double distinction. I couldn’t have done it without my amazing tutors, Hayley Worth and Miriam Da Silva Angelico! The amount of support I’ve received, the resources that were shared and the entire learning process has been extremely beneficial and great. It wasn't easy and it was really challenging, especially facing a health issue in the last 4 months but with Miriam's support and understanding it was so worth it!!!
Thank you Miriam!
Thank you Paragon!

Catherine was an amazing support throughout the past 18 months. I have learnt so much from completing my level 5, it has definitely made me think about everyday decisions, the way I deal with situation and how i work alongside my colleagues.

Miriam Da Silva Angelico went above and beyond to support one of our learners. Our learner was going trough a difficult time and was ready to throw in the towel at the last hurdle of EPA. Mariam stepped in and put some additional sessions in place, got her manager involved and helped our learner to not only complete, but achieve a distinction! Thank you Miriam and the Paragon Team for the commitment, care and encouragement you've provided us with. Every now and again you encounter someone who has a real passion for their work and for who nothing is too much effort - Miriam is one of those tutors and we're so lucky to be working with her.

Jolene Hornsby provides exceptional mentorship, outstanding guidance and structurally breaks down complex Level 3 portfolio requirements, KSBs, and Gateway preparation into manageable steps.
She excels at linking classroom concepts (like person-centered care and safeguarding) to real-world care scenarios, boosting confidence during observations and discussions.
She is highly approachable, responsive, and creates an encouraging environment that leaves learners feeling thoroughly prepared for their End-Point Assessment.
