I came across an advert from Accountancy Learning, whilst searching for accounting apprenticeships, and seeking a complete career change. I filled out my details online and the following week I met Simon and Prue for an informal chat, and to see how the Talent Programme may be able to help me. I honestly thought it was too good to be true, as finding a new job with no previous experience or relevant qualifications can be a challenge! Since then, I haven’t looked back once! They put me in touch with my current employer, Milsted Langdon, and have offered a flexible distance learning study programme that suits my learning style. This was important to me because I did not want to go back to a traditional ‘classroom’ environment. The tutors have been very encouraging and offered constant support throughout. I would 100% recommend Accountancy Learning!

Accountancy Learning has made it easy for me to gain knowledge and skills that I can apply in my day-to-day job as a preparer of various financial statements. By following my AAT apprenticeship with Accountancy Learning, I am able to set my own pace when planning in exams while having my tutor to rely on if I run into any difficulties grasping the learning material. In the last 18 months I have completed AAT Level 3 with a distinction, and I have progressed on to Level 4. Throughout my time to date with Accountancy Learning, I have grown exponentially, both in technical skills as well as theoretical knowledge. Being able to apply my knowledge gained while studying in my job helps me consolidate the new knowledge, helping both within my studies and my job performance.

I started my AAT studies at level 2 knowing very little about accountancy, but with continuous help and guidance from my tutor Ian, alongside the brilliant Moodle lessons and quizzes, I have found myself progressing really well with my studies recently completing Level 2 achieving a distinction, and now passing my first Level 3 exam! During my studies I have become very passionate in spreading the word about apprenticeships in accountancy and the great career paths it can lead you onto. During my level 2 studies I undertook a presentation for a local secondary school’s career week explaining everything accountancy and apprenticeships. Thank you for all of your help, I am sure I wouldn’t be progressing as well if it wasn’t for your help and guidance.
