“After the birth of my third child, I explored remote working options because I needed to be at home more,” said Justyna. There were lot of remote working options in accounting available in Ireland. Asperio recommended the Accounting Technicians Ireland (ATI) Diploma to me as a good first step in gaining new skills and a highly valued qualification.
The framework of the course suited because I was able to watch lectures and study after work and combine learning with employment and being a mother. My first thoughts were if I could manage my time and concerns that English is not my first language. But the lecturers were easy to understand and of great help to me. After a year I was very comfortable with the programme and anxious to do well.”
A globe-trotting multi-lingual mother and holder of multiple qualifications has further enhanced her career by obtaining one of the top marks in Ireland in professional accounting exams online from her native Poland.
Justyna Bodnar (41), is fluent in three languages and has worked in Cyprus, Denmark and the UK. She holds qualifications in education and hospitality and speaks Polish, English and Russian.
For the last two years she has worked remotely with Irish-based accounting firm Asperio, which encouraged her to study online for the Accounting Technicians Ireland (ATI) Diploma, which yielded Justyna top marks.
“Now I have a very well respected accounting qualification which allows me work remotely not only with clients in Ireland, but also the UK and US. The ATI Diploma opens a lot of doors. It is a wonderful foundation, suitable for everyone, even beginners like me. I plan to use exam exemptions from it to study to become a fully qualified accountant.”
