Star Student August 2025: Shannon McCluskey

Personal Tutor: Lydia

After taking my A-Levels, I felt as if I had no idea of what career path to take. I was working in hospitality which did not fulfil me whatsoever, so I decided that accountancy would befit me best, since I enjoy working with numbers. When I first started my AAT, I was apprehensive of what was to come, however I am enjoying my time learning and working simultaneously, and everyone within my workplace and Accountancy Learning is so welcoming, lovely, and supportive. At the moment I am currently studying AAT level 3, which I am progressing well in, and I am looking forward to what my future may have to offer.

Shannon started her L3 apprenticeship with us in April this year. She is studying the L3 Diploma in Accounting, alongside the L2 Certificate in Bookkeeping. Shannon hit the ground running and was very competent, scoring very highly in her practice assessments. She asks lots of questions and really puts time and effort into her learning. She was doing so well that I suggested she could sit both of her L2 Bookkeeping exams very close to each other. Shannon then booked both of her bookkeeping exams for the same day, less than a month after her start date! She has achieved distinction level passes in all her exams so far and has a bright future in accountancy. Well done Shannon!
