I began my AAT studies back in 2017. Having worked as an animal keeper for almost 10 years, I had decided it was time for a career change to something less physically demanding. I completed my AAT Level 2 & 3 accounting qualifications which helped me to secure a position as a Trainee Accounts Assistant in 2018, but I stopped my study at that point so that I could focus on my new job and putting some of that study into practice.
Five years on, I decided it was time to finish what I started and complete the Level 4 qualification. I enrolled with Accountancy Learning following a recommendation from a colleague, and I opted for the Self Study package so that I could be fully in control of my own learning and study at my own pace. I found the online portal really easy to use and the study material was really thorough and easy to follow. There were loads of practice questions for every topic which meant I went into every exam feeling really well prepared, even managing to get 100% in one of the modules (Audit & Assurance). I have now completed the Level 4 qualification with distinction.
