The challenge: scaling apprenticeship management

As Paragon Skills rapidly expanded, managing operational complexity became increasingly difficult. Ensuring apprentices could progress smoothly through assessments was a major operational challenge. Efficient processes were essential to avoid delays, minimise administrative burdens, and ensure quality remained high during rapid growth.

The key issue was finding reliable assessment providers capable of delivering consistent and timely support to match Paragon’s pace.

The results: improved operational efficiency and confidence

Paragon Skills values its partnership with Innovate Awarding as a strategic relationship that significantly contributes to operational effectiveness. With Innovate’s continued support, Paragon is well-equipped to sustain and build on its successful growth trajectory.

Key improvements from the partnership include:

  • Quicker assessment turnaround: learners experienced faster progression, enhancing their apprenticeship journey and overall satisfaction.

  • Reduced administrative burdens: Paragon’s operational team experienced less administrative workload, enabling greater focus on learner outcomes and quality assurance.

  • Confidence to scale further: a reliable and responsive partnership with Innovate Awarding has empowered Paragon Skills to confidently manage their expanding apprenticeship programme.

  • The things that training providers care about is communication and the speed of the process for their learners. Innovate Awarding are arguably the best awarding organisation we work with — they’re highly responsive and dependable.
