I had the pleasure of having Harisa Ahmed as my tutor while completing my NVQ Level 3, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. Harisa was professional, patient, and always encouraging throughout my learning journey. She explained everything clearly, provided constructive feedback, and was always available to answer any questions I had.

Her guidance gave me the confidence to complete my coursework and stay motivated from start to finish. She genuinely cares about her learners’ success and goes above and beyond to make sure they understand every step of the process.

I would highly recommend Harisa Ahmed to anyone studying for their NVQ. Thank you for all your support and encouragement. it has been greatly appreciated!

I completed my Level 3 Apprenticeship(Lead Adult Care Worker) and I have passed with a distinction on both my situational judgement test as well as my professional discussion. I would like to take the time to specifically thank Aimee Stretton, Charmaine Simpkins, Heather Evans, Luke Radford and Judy Baxter for all their support during my apprenticeship and for all the words of encouragement that they gave me. I could not have wished for better people to tutor me and I appreciate all their dedication. I learnt so much about how to manage stress, how to deal with challenging situations and how to be a better leader. Thank you again for all your support!❤️

Wow..

Wow! What an experience. What a year its been..
I absolutely loved doing my apprenticeship with Paragon, all the tutors are incredible who do the workshops and Kirsty Welding my personal tutor was great, always on hand when needed. Gave me a boost when I needed it, took a step back slightly when I was moving house but always pushing encouragement to keep going. Finished my course and couldn't be happier with my overall outcome. Thankyou Paragon.

I completed the level 3 peer support with a distinction. The course was fantastic, loved the workshops, the pace was perfect and because of this course i have grown so much both professionally and personally. My tutor - Nicky Creswick was so kind and supportive. Nicky believed in me when I couldn't believe in myself. She made me feel comfortable and like no question was a silly one. Nicky ensured I was well prepared for my EPA and walked alongside me throughout. Always there to listen to my concerns and encourage me. I genuinely loved the course was challenging at times but manageable. :)

I enjoyed learning with paragon skills

I enjoyed learning with paragon skills, I liked that the workshops where learner based and you could gain knowledge from others as not everyone is from the same line of work, I also had a fantastic tutor Kirsty welding who was just a phone call away with any help you needed and did not leave you waiting for weeks to mark your work.

I can’t recommend Haulwen Wright highly enough. She has been fantastic throughout my Level 5 Adult Care journey. From the very start, she adapted her support to meet my individual needs, which made such a difference to my learning experience.
Her guidance, encouragement, and patience have really helped build my confidence in my role. She always took the time to explain things clearly and made me feel supported every step of the way.
Thanks to Halowen, I feel much more confident and capable in my practice. She is truly dedicated and supportive, and I’m very grateful for everything she has done.

Amazing tutor

I completed an apprenticeship with a distinction thanks to Joanne Heritage. I had to take a 6 month break due to a bereavement. Joanne’s support was above and beyond, more than expected. Thank you for the guidance and for going above and beyond to support me to my distinction.
