  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I am enjoying the programme. It took me some time to get my head around it. However, my tutor [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] is very supportive and ensures I stay on track.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The modules are well structured on BUD. However, a starter pack with a rough timeline of the different activities would be beneficial. I.e., mapping workshops to modules on BUD and having a timeline for when to start our coaching practice.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • My manager gives me the flexibility I need to complete my apprenticeship. It's an 8 rather than a 10 because I need to manage business needs and the demands of the apprenticeship simultaneously, which means sometimes I have had to delay assignments or activities in order to juggle both.

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


  • 9b. Why?
  • I think there is room for improvement in terms of communication. However, I think they are trying to take some of the feedback into account and make improvements. Personally, I feel that the apprenticeship has benefited me and in particular, I feel very grateful for my personal tutor.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Paragon Skills?
  • Look into which apprenticeship will meet your learning needs and start early, don't leave things to the last minute as there is a lot to juggle!
