Welcome

From the President

Every day is a learning experience. I've been doing it for quite a long time now, but it doesn't stop.

So much of this edition of AAT Student Magazine goes to show the importance of continuous learning and development throughout our careers.

Gearing up for exams can be stressful, and trying to balance that with a social life and home life can be difficult. I remember doing so with cold clarity: studying, with a non-sleeping baby to tend to. That was a bit testing.

But it’s worth remembering the tutors and the training organisations are there to help you and they make such a huge difference. It can be as little as five minutes to go over a concept you're struggling with, but they will help you get there. So, do feel that you can go to your tutors.

You may get occasional failures in your exams, but it’s about ‘bouncebackability’: dusting yourself down, talking to your friends, gathering your support mechanisms and just going for it. It will pay itself back. That’s a sign of the resilience you’ll need to attain your qualifications and in your career beyond.
