I am studying the AAT Level 2 Foundation Certificate & Level 3 Advanced Diploma, and have just passed Unit 1 (Level 2) in just over a month! I work full-time, so wanted an alternative to university. My tutor, Mike at e-Careers is great, he gets back to me within 24 hours with the answers to my questions and other additional support. If I have any other questions or queries, I can ring up my e-Careers Courser Advisor, Marshal and he will be there, giving great advice and help, and he is very encouraging! I felt the need to ring him up about passing Unit 1 and he was just as pleased and excited as myself and my family were for me! As long as you don’t be lazy or have the ‘I can’t do it’ attitude you will get far! You are your own motivator nobody else.
