Congratulations to our Accounts Assistant, Olivia Saint-McCormick, who has passed her 18-month Level 3 Accounting and Finance qualification with merit.
Previously studying one day a week at Oldham College, Olivia has now started her Level 4 Diploma in Professional Accounting, studying online with McArthur Morgan.
Olivia, who joined us in September 2023, shared her positive experience: "Overall, I found the course to be beneficial. It's a great opportunity to start your career, providing the work experience you need. Keep pushing forward and never give up!"
For her final assessment, Olivia covered business awareness, financial accounting, management accounting techniques and tax processes for business.
Olivia, aged 21 and from Limeside, is a former pupil at the Co-op Academy in Failsworth. She first became interested in finance as it was a role her mum used to work in.
However, she originally decided to study social care at college before realising it wasn't for her and then took a year out before returning to complete her Level 2 finance qualification, also at Oldham College.
And she is planning to follow a similar path after her Level 4 studies by taking a gap year before taking on a three to four-year challenge of becoming a chartered accountant.
Outside of work, film fan Olivia says her favourite movie is The Notebook, a moving true story based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks about a couple together for 60 years, who impressed her with how strong their love for each other was.
