I recently completed my NVQ Level 3 Apprenticeship in Adult Care with Paragon Skills. While the journey often felt lonely, I want to thank all members of the team for their support, but Special and Massive SHOUT OUT to Jolene Hornsby and Heather Evan for the encouragement and confidence they provided in navigating me to the EPA, their guidance and support was incredible. I am so proud and grateful for the achievement, thank you all.

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.

I am extremely pleased to have achieved a Distinction in my Level 3 qualification with the support of Paragon Skills and my exceptional tutor, Kirsty Welding.
Her dedication, professionalism, and ability to explain concepts clearly helped me stay motivated throughout the course. She consistently provided valuable feedback and encouragement, building my confidence every step of the way.
Overall, the learning experience provided by Paragon Skills was well-structured, engaging, and highly supportive throughout.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank my tutor, Kirsty Welding, and the team at Paragon Skills for their outstanding support throughout my course.

There were times when I felt like giving up, but Kirsty’s encouragement, patience, and belief in me gave me the confidence to keep going. Thanks to her guidance and dedication, I have now successfully completed my Adult Lead Care Worker course.

Kirsty was always approachable, supportive, and willing to take the time to explain things clearly whenever I needed help. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine commitment to helping learners succeed made a huge difference to my experience.

I just want to say a huge thank you to my tutor Matt Glaves for all the support he gave me, really appreciate it. He pushed me on when I needed it and made sure I completed everything on time. Always there when I needed any support, thankyou.

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.

Workshops were really useful to attend and i believe it made a major contribution to me achieve a Distinction in Level 3 Health and Social Care

The experience was quite awesome. I got to understand the course better, knowing the workload, the available support for me, the possible outcome of the course, and application of the course to my daily work schedule.

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 completed a course in care which is the first time i have done any courses since leaving collage over 40 years ago. My tutor was very helpful and encouraging all the way through the course. she helped me build my confidence and i passed. Highly recommend paragon.

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.

My tutor made my experience worthwhile. She guided me all through the way and made my journey interesting.

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

Great tutors, great lessons, great website and easy to navigate and I would like to thank you to all of them. A special thank you to Aimee and kirsty from paragon skills!
