AAT Student Stories: Andrew Douglas | AAT Level 2 and 3 Review

Andrew enjoyed maths and wanted a new challenge. He studied an AAT Level 2 and Level 3 Foundation Certificate and Advanced Diploma in Accounting and started the steps to a brand new career.

I am currently employed as an administrator. I have already completed a AAT Level 1 and had a knack for maths and IT. I also enjoy working with numbers and the finance side of businesses.

I was looking to progress a Level 4 when the time is right or even start looking into becoming an accountant, so I looked for courses to advanced my Level 1 to a 2 or a 3.

I just missed out a window to take the course in my local college (however it was only Level 2).

Looking around online I found ICS Learn, which bundled both a Level 2 and Level 3 together with a price near enough to what i would have paid for just a Level 2 at college!

I have really enjoyed the course so far and love the one to one style support given to me by my tutor who always has a fast response time. While doing my course I have applied for AAT roles and have had several interviews and one offer currently with a firm close to home.

I had some concerns about learning online but once I became a student and had access to all the tools and past papers and resources, I feel like I have more than enough content to learn and apply the learning too. 

Overall, I am more than happy with ICS Learn and the course they have provided me. I was able to split the cost over time in easy affordable instalments.

I would recommend anyone looking to learn comfortably in their own home, courses are not time limited so everything is in your pace, it's just perfect as if you’re struggling you have past papers to look at, tutor to speak to, everything is repeatable. What more can you ask for!
