From Learning to Achievement: Making Career Dreams Real
When I walked into Pitman Training Newcastle, I just wanted to learn accounting. Fast forward through AAT Levels 2, 3, and now Level 4 – I’ve got my qualifications and a job to show for it. Even my kids can see how proud I am, though they still find it funny!
