Finding a New Path in Accounting

Andrew MacDonald discovered his true calling when he started Pitman Training’s AAT courses. Beginning with Level 2, he quickly realised he’d found the perfect career path.

Rising Through the Ranks

Moving through Level 3 AAT and onto Level 4, Andrew faced the common hurdles of balancing study with daily life. “It’s been very difficult at times with the time pressures, but I just pushed through it,” he shares.

Success breeds success – Andrew’s achievements have inspired his partner Linda to follow the same path at Pitman Training, proving the ripple effect of positive career changes.

From Student to Success Story

The crowning moment came when Andrew was named Student of the Year, an achievement that left him “massively shocked”. But the real victory? Landing his ideal job in accounting.

“My children think it’s hilarious,” Andrew laughs, “but I’m dead proud.” His story shows that with determination and the right training, career dreams can become reality.
