Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Paragon Skills to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I received so much support and when I needed to ask any questions, they where answered so quickly meaning I could complete the work given to me. My assessor was fantastic and I am really thankful to her. I completed my NVQ in just over a year and that was thanks to [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] signing off and giving me work quickly.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Paragon Skills?
Definitely apply! I thought the year would go really slowly doing the work, but it went so quickly and once you start doing the work, it’s actually interesting with the things that you learn and things that are just a refresher.
