  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoyed the program a lot, I was lucky enough at the beginning to have a supportive company behind me, but when things started to unravel and I discussed it with management things for me unravelled even more to the point I no longer felt part of the team and uncomfortable when I went each day

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My program I felt was well structured and organised and I enjoyed the learning aspect of it as I definitely did learn new things throughout but for me it was finding the time to complete the work k had to make a timetable and stick to it as being single mum I was juggling everything

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • I can’t fault paragon skills, they were amazing. They supported me so much when I was going through a difficult time with the company I was with even took time out to ring make sure I was ok. I’d definitely recommend them to everyone

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Unfortunately I never completed my apprenticeship due to how I felt with in the company, but the skills I’ve learnt I have transferred into my new working role which is amazing as I didn’t want to lose those skills or the achievements I had made

  • 9a. Would you recommend Abicare to a friend?
  • No


  • 9b. Why?
  • I was made to feel uncomfortable and didn’t feel part of the team, I felt when I enquiries from customers that needed to be dealt with ie refunds I wasn’t listened to. The bigger the company got the more uncomfortable I was made to feel and a lot of my roles taken from me so I was sat twiddling my thumbs so I handed notice in and left.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Abicare?
  • Don’t do it
