After completing my A-levels in 2022, I joined Westcotts Chartered Accountants as an Apprentice Accounting Technician and quickly realised it was certainly the right route into the profession for me. Whilst studying at Accountancy Learning, I have benefited from excellent learning materials and tutor support through the weekly drop-in sessions. My tutor, Emily, is incredibly supportive, assisting me with the coursework element of the apprenticeship and is always quick to respond to any queries I may have on the more complex areas of the studies. I am aiming to complete AAT Level 4 by the summer and hope to start chartered studies in the autumn.
Outside of work and studies, I am also a member of the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team (Tavistock), which I find rewarding. Westcotts are really supportive of my voluntary contributions to the team, allowing me to attend callouts around the clock, for which I am very grateful. I joined the team in 2024 and since have qualified as a full member and have specialised in Swift-water Rescue. This means I can go from preparing a set of accounts for a client to rescuing a casualty on the middle of Dartmoor!
