Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role involves caring for children ages 2-5 years. On a day to day basis I will care for each child’s needs including hygiene routine like nappy changes. I will observe my key children each week and make sure they are progressing.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy the programme I am on. I like the fact I have support from my tutor and I don’t feel over loaded with work. I feel like I’m learning at a steady pace.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Since starting my apprenticeship I have gained so much knowledge. I am able to understand children who require more support and how I would support that child.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme is well structured I am able to understand each assessment when given.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from both my tutor and employer. I am able to talk freely about my concerns and if I need any help they are both always free to provide.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
So much support from her. Honestly I could not have asked for a better tutor, she will talk her time explaining what I need to do and is always available if I’m struggling. She understands if I am struggling and she will put support in place and help me to over come it.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
100% this course as opened my eyes to childcare. I enjoy learning new skills and I have definitely stepped out of my comfort zone.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
N/a

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Paragon Skills to a friend?
Yes
Why?
If you are looking to expand your knowledge or to learn new skills. This company is definitely the choice. With a tutor like mine I have never felt so at ease when learning. I would definitely recommend paragon.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Paragon Skills?
Just go for it. I was really questioning doing an apprenticeship I felt as if I was too old to learn anymore. I had to push myself to step out of my comfort zone and I don’t regret a minute of this experience.
