Accountancy

After earning a maths degree and working as a teaching assistant, Laura Kirkpatrick realised her passion lay elsewhere. Seeking a more fulfilling career, she discovered an opportunity to retrain through a Level 3 Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship offered by her employer.

“I just love learning about accountancy—it’s such a fascinating subject with endless opportunities to progress.”

Looking ahead, Laura plans to pursue her Level 4 qualification and gain more experience in her new role, which offers greater exposure to the world of finance.

Although Sian originally completed a degree in Animal Behaviour, she struggled to find a job she enjoyed. Fortunately, she came across an apprenticeship vacancy on the college’s website and having always enjoyed and excelled at maths, she decided to apply for the position.

Choosing to retrain as an adult can be daunting, but Sian has taken this career change in her stride and is thriving on her apprenticeship. She speaks highly of her experience so far: “From my experience being both a staff member and a student here, I have found everyone so friendly and supportive. If need be, there is always help on hand – which I am grateful for!”

"I chose to study at Warrington & Vale Royal College because of its excellent reputation, state-of-the-art facilities, and the variety of modules the course offers. From the moment I visited, I could see how well-equipped the college is to support students in their learning journeys. The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and dedicated to helping us succeed, which has made a huge difference to my experience.”
