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

9b. Why?

I have had 3 different tutors due to them all leaving. So throughout my course I have lacked consistency.

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

They should choose a different system as BUD is useless. Both learners and teachers have complained. Something is going wrong as tutors seem to be leaving consistently.
