Star Student February 2026: Josie Brown

Personal Tutor: Sarah

Portrait of Accountancy Learning's star student February 2026

In December 2024, I was in Australia on a gap year not knowing what I wanted to do. I enrolled on an Apprenticeship with Dorset Police where I could study and gain valuable experience in the workplace. I completed my AAT Level 2, and I am currently studying Level 3 with Accountancy Learning. They have given me a supportive environment where I have learned so much from studying, that it has helped me take on new roles and job opportunities at work to continue to challenge myself. My tutor Sarah has helped me by marking all my practice assessments as well as motivating me and having regular catch ups.  My manager Jo has been amazing in supporting me through the new challenges and opportunities I have taken on at work.

Josie is an exceptional student. She is dedicated and her commitment to her studies is inspiring. The proactivity shown by Josie within her studies has proven to be the root of her success, having finished Level 2 at the earliest opportunity and is on track to complete Level 3 in the shortest apprenticeship time frame possible. And this is all while enjoying some lovely holidays and not letting that time off hinder her progress. I’m delighted to support Josie, and I look forward to what is next for her!
