The support is amazing, my mentor schedules time to see me in person when most of my course is self taught- she is brilliant and so supportive of me. When I judge myself she reminds me how brilliant my work is and it really helps reassure me. ❤️

9a. Would you recommend Paragon Skills to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I would highly recommend paragon skills because it is a company that really show how much they care about learning & development. The team are brilliant and really good at staying in touch with learners. I have seen other apprenticeship programmes with little support. A massive part of paragons induction process talks you through the importance of reaching out if you’re struggling with mental health- I find it admirable that the team have put in so much effort to support people with this. The learning is fun and the Bud platform is so easy to navigate!! Couldn’t ask for more. They make learning fun and I’m so proud that I am part of the learning bunch.😊😊😊

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Paragon Skills?

Really browse around! They have soo many courses to choose from. Also don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it! You’re only human and we all need help sometimes. The team just happen to be wonderful too.😊❤️
