The ACCA Qualification is not aimed at any one particular business sector as the examinations cover all areas of business management. Candidates not only gain specialist knowledge in finance and accounting but also acquire valuable skills in organisational management and strategy.


Joining the finance graduate scheme at Santander, Kirsty knew that she would be able to study further to develop the right skills for success.


“Santander has provided me with a solid basis of knowledge through technical exams and practical hands- on experience,” says Kirsty. “There is flexibility in the exams you choose to sit, so I can tailor it to my needs and study how I want.”


Santander gives all their graduates the chance to experience the real world of finance and its global reach.


“I’ve been given the opportunity to experience different cultures and working environments. Earlier this year I was flown out to Santander’s head office in Spain. The ACCA Qualification is globally recognised so there would be scope to work overseas in the future.”


Kirsty says she loves her job, and finds the working culture at Santander really suits her.


“Everyone works hard and is extremely knowledgeable so I am motivated to learn and develop as much as I can.”


After gaining the ACCA Qualification, Kirsty will be able to use her skills in any sector, anywhere in the world. ACCA supports 154,000 members and 432,000 students in 170 countries, helping them to develop successful careers in accounting and business, with the skills needed by employers. ACCA works through a network of over 80 offices and centres and more than 8,400 approved employers worldwide, who provide high standards of employee learning and development.


Kirsty says she is very happy with the content of her course.


“The modules span a greater breadth of subjects than other accountancy qualifications, so I knew ACCA would offer me the best platform to achieve my professional goals.”


“Now, my aim is to pass my exams and become a chartered certified accountant and be able to use the designation ACCA after my name.”
