AAT Accounting Student

I've been out of education for 15 years, and I was a bit worried about coming back to try something new, but it has been the best thing I've ever done! The tutors are great, and there's a real sense of camaraderie within the class. The topics are really interesting, and it's been easy to fit the course around my current job.
