Accountancy Apprentice from Svitzer has wowed her employer by achieving top results in her recent end point assessment.

Hannah Cooke, former Nunthorpe Academy pupil, achieved a distinction grade for the main part of her Level 3 Accountancy Apprenticeship Programme and a distinction grade for the end point assessment part of the qualification, dropping just 50 marks out of 1,000.

Hannah started her apprenticeship at Level 2 with Svitzer 2 and ½ years ago and has thrived in her role and studies, she said:

“I’ve picked up so much while working here, as well as gaining my qualification I have learnt how to organise and manage multiple tasks, communicate effectively with colleagues of all levels and work as part of a busy team. Learning while being in the workplace has really boosted my confidence.”
