SkillsTrain student gets top marks in national exams
"A British SkillsTrain home study student and mother of one has proved that university and college doesn’t always bring home the top results, as she swept the board in her Book-keeping exams with an A+ grade and a 96% pass rate, the nations top marks."
Catherine studied part time at home using a SkillsTrain home study book-keeping course, fitting in her studies around looking after her 9 year old son and holding down a part time accounting job. She said
“I left school at 16 and have since worked in various accounting roles. I decided to sign up for the SkillsTrain course because I wanted a qualification, mainly to prove to myself that I could do it. It’s already helped with my career and with my confidence because I’ve been able to take on a client’s accounts and payroll in the evenings, which allows me to fit two jobs around school hours”.
SkillsTrain principal Myra Smallman said “This is an incredible achievement as Catherine was up against students from colleges and higher education institutes throughout the UK. She’s done brilliantly to have come out on top against such competition.
It just shows that you’re never too old or too busy to learn a skills or study and Catherine is an inspiration to us all”.
