Carly, Accountancy Level 4Read my storySince I’ve been looking for a new job in accountancy, I’ve really come to realise that the qualification I’ve got covers so much of what people are looking for. The course was designed with the help of local employers, but now I can really see that I’ve been given exactly the skills and knowledge that people are looking for in the job market.
