Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have gained more knowledge on legalizations and overall knowledge on recruitment, employment, I gained more of an insight into resourcing and permanent recruitment within the course as it's not within my personal role tasks. overall I gained more knowledge which gave me more confidence within my role.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
organized as much as organized can be really, everything's set up and easily structured therefore following the program is easy. nothing more to say in regards to the organization or structure of the program, as it seemed all pre-organized and structured beforehand. organisation and structure is the way forward.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
my employer is very supportive, Generally, there is nothing my employer would not support me with, a great employer to work for. my employer has helped me grow within my role. has been supportive with hours of work, salary, holiday, training, contracts, any work problems or issues my employer is their to help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
my training provider was very helpful and supportive, although it was all online and via zoom, accessibility to my tutor was good, if I did have any problems I could contact my tutor and they would help me as much as they could. she was friendly and kind which makes all the diffrence!
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
the qualification and course are related to the recruitment industry, my current role as a senior recruitment consultant suits the qualification, it helped me gain knowledge, experience, confidence, and skills within my current role, the qualification gives me the opportunity to gain more higher qualifications to improve my skills and knowledge.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
charity fundraising events, leaflet drops, handing outs, open days, we also out of working hours such as weekend s and evenings we take on call, all emergencies and calls go through to the employee on call to deal with, this could be at any given time after office working hours.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Paragon Skills to a friend?
Yes
Why?
honestly, I would recommend it to a friend as although is all done online, support is very accessible, the program is all structured and organized, expectations are fair from the beginning throughout, there's also plenty of opportunities to develop further through paragon skills, the tutor is very friendly and helpfull.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Paragon Skills?
I would advise making sure you have enough time around work to complete the qualification, work is always the priority which can cause course work and assignments to creep on top of you, therefore I would suggest being organized, planning and following plans, good time management will help when doing the programs through paragon.
