Press Release Summary: A British SkillsTrain home study student and mother of one
has proved that university and college doesn't always bring home the top results, as
she swept the board in her Book-keeping exams with an A+ grade and a 96% pass rate,
the nations top marks.

Press Release Body: SkillsTrain home study student, 45 year old mother of one,
Catherine Cutts, a part time finance assistant from Worksop, has achieved the
Britain's top mark in the International Association of Book-keepers examinations,
scoring an A+ grade with a 96% pass rate in her Level 3, Certificate in Computerised
Payroll exam.

Catherine studied part time at home using a SkillsTrain home study book-keeping
course, fitting in her studies around looking after her 9 year old son and holding
down a part time accounting job. She said

"I left school at 16 and have since worked in various accounting roles. I decided
to sign up for the SkillsTrain course because I wanted a qualification, mainly to
prove to myself that I could do it. It's already helped with my career and with my
confidence because I've been able to take on a client's accounts and payroll in the
evenings, which allows me to fit two jobs around school hours".

SkillsTrain principal Myra Smallman said "This is an incredible achievement as
Catherine was up against students from colleges and higher education institutes
throughout the UK. She's done brilliantly to have come out on top against such
competition.

It just shows that you're never too old or too busy to learn a skills or study and
Catherine is an inspiration to us all".
