Excellent Pathways could improve their discussion forums, but the one to one mentor calls were gold. The firm offered me a job before my placement even ended.

I chose Excellent Pathways because I needed real work experience. They delivered exactly that. I shadowed a chartered accountant for three months and learned more than I did in university. I now work as an accounts assistant thanks to the experience I gained.
I took the part time evening cohort so I could keep my day job. Balancing both was tough but possible.
The online lessons were clear, but I wish the payroll module went deeper. Still, the office placement helped fill the gaps and boosted my CV.
Highly recommend this programme to anyone struggling to get accounting experience. The training is structured, beginner friendly, and the support team responds quickly. I did my placement part time and still learned a lot. I can honestly say it gave me the edge I needed in job applications. I secured a permanent role at the firm straight after finishing.

The programme was worth every penny. I started with minimal accounting knowledge, and by the end I could use Sage 50 at an advanced level. The hybrid placement suited my schedule perfectly, and I secured a full time position afterwards.
Excellent Pathways is pricey compared with online MOOCs, yet you actually get real work exposure. For me that justified the cost. The firm offered me a job before my placement even ended.
Training material is solid but the pacing felt rushed. If you already know basic Excel you will be fine.
Excellent Pathways made switching from retail to tech less scary. After the placement I was offered a junior SOC analyst role, something I never thought possible.
Excellent Pathways set me up with a chartered accountant who let me prepare real client ledgers. The Sage 50 tutorials made sense once I used them at work. I'm now on a three month contract that looks likely to become permanent.
Excellent Pathways opened the door to HR practice when every job description asked for experience I didn't have. Now I do.
Excellent Pathways delivered exactly what they advertised: theory, practice, and exposure. I joined with zero accounting background and now reconcile accounts daily at my new job.
Excellent Pathways gave me clear templates for policies and interview notes. Applying them during placement made me feel like part of the team.
The network security labs were challenging and fun, and the mentor sessions kept me accountable. I walked away with a certificate and three months of breach monitoring experience.
I was hoping for a London placement but got matched with a remote role instead. It worked out fine but a local office would have been nicer. I'm now a full-time employee at the firm where I did my placement.
Good but not cheap. The course fee felt steep at first, yet the placement was worth every dirham because I landed a junior bookkeeper role two weeks after finishing.
Excellent Pathways paired me with a fintech start up where I wrote my first incident response report. That report impressed the hiring manager in my current job interview. I'm now a full-time employee at the firm where I did my placement.
I took the weekend FastTrack option and finished in less than a month. Simple videos, quick quizzes, and a friendly tutor. Perfect for busy parents. The firm offered me a job before my placement even ended.
If you’re considering this course, don’t hesitate. The training is structured, easy to follow, and perfect for beginners. I worked closely with a chartered accountant who explained everything as we went. I left the placement with real confidence and a clear understanding of how accounting works in practice.
Really impressed with how organised everything was. The online training platform was easy to follow and modules were detailed. Once I completed the assessments I began my work placement, which helped me understand the practical side of bookkeeping and month end tasks.
Excellent Pathways offered a hybrid placement option. Two days at home and three days in the office worked perfectly around childcare. Two weeks after the placement, the firm hired me on a junior contract.
Content quality is high, but some videos are dated. Still, the hands on firewall tasks during placement more than compensated.
Excellent Pathways paired me with a local firm where I prepared bank reconciliations and VAT returns. Two weeks before the placement ended they offered me a junior accountant contract. I still refer back to the course materials when I need a quick refresher.
