My assessor, Joanne, was supportive, helpful and always provided clear guidance and feedback throughout the qualification. I really appreciated her patience and encouragement, which helped me complete my qualification successfully. Thank you, Joanne and Pentagon Skills!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to share my experience of working towards and passing Level 2 in Health and Social Care. Under the guidance of tutor Joanne at Pentagon Skills, I drew on my work skills and all that I have learnt about caring for Service Users. When I was feeling stuck, stressed or struggling, I knew I could turn to Joanne, either over the telephone or Whatsapp and she responded with compassion which soothed any anxiety and helpful comments to improve my work. The reflections I provided in my units were cathartic and I realised how much I had learned from people. The wide range of topics in studying for Level 2 were informative and a valuable learning experience. Most of all, I felt like I could be myself, which helped my work flow and be of a good standard to pass.
