Hi. Hello. I'm currently enrolled in the
00:07
AAT level two course. My name is Marena.
00:11
I'm 35 years old and live in Dorset. I'm
00:15
a wife and a mother of 9-year-old
00:17
daughter. At the beginning of my life in
00:21
the UK, my professional career didn't
00:24
progress much as I was focused on
00:27
raising my child. However, now that my
00:31
daughters is getting older, I feel it's
00:33
the right time to develop my career
00:36
path, something I've always wanted to
00:39
do. I've always been interested in
00:42
accounting back in Poland. I completed a
00:46
degree in finance and accounting, but I
00:49
found that the knowledge I gained there
00:53
doesn't fully translate to the UK
00:56
system. That's why I decided to purchase
00:59
AAT
01:01
qualification so that I can understand
01:04
and work efficiently within the British
01:07
accounting
01:09
system. Currently I work in a small
01:12
accountancy office where I am
01:14
responsible for office management and
01:17
bookkeeping. This job has been a huge
01:20
motivation for me to purchase the AAT
01:24
course. I would like to take on more
01:28
advanced
01:29
responsibilities in the future and grow
01:32
into a more senior role within the same
01:35
workplace. By completing the course, I
01:38
hope to bring new value to the company
01:41
and contribute more
01:44
meaningful to our services.
01:48
I choose to study with a carriers
01:51
because it was recommended to me by my
01:55
colleagues. So far I think the learning
01:59
journey has been very
02:02
informative. There is a lot of materials
02:05
available on the platform but I
02:08
personally prefer to start with the
02:10
textbook. I'm a visual learner, so I
02:14
often highlight important sections and
02:17
take notes directly in the book. The
02:21
online platform is a great complement to
02:24
that. It helps me revise and check my
02:28
understanding through quizzes and
02:31
summaries. I haven't had many
02:33
interactions with customer support, but
02:36
whenever I have contacted them, I
02:39
received clear and helpful responses. I
02:43
would appreciate a bit more clarify on
02:46
the next steps in the course, especially
02:50
regarding how and when to book the final
02:54
exam. More guidance on the topic would
02:57
be really helpful. Overall, I'm happy
03:00
with the course platform. I really like
03:03
the ability to track my progress and the
03:07
fact that each section includes plenty
03:09
of selfassessment opportunities along
03:12
the clear answer keys. It helps
03:16
reinforce my learning in a structured
03:19
way. I would definitely recommend ecaras
03:23
on a training provider. The combination
03:27
of textbook learning and online
03:29
resources makes me a comprehensive
03:33
experience and the student support has
03:36
been reliable and professional.
