A-level student secures
Degree Apprenticeship
with a prestigious
accounting firm
Faisal Makansi, a Bury College A-level
student, has secured himself a Degree
Apprenticeship at the accountancy
firm Deloitte. This is the culmination
of two-years hard work. We caught up
with Faisal before he made the next
step on his journey.
What subjects did you study?
A-levels in Accounting (A), Business (A) and
Mathematics (C).
Congratulations on the new role! What was
the application process like?
To get the role, I had to go through an
extensive interview process, where I spoke
with the managers and CEO.
Once you start, what will you be doing?
I will be working as an audit associate. This will
involve presenting projects and objectives.
I am really excited for the training and to work
with the staff there. It will give me an insight
into the industry and will help me to map out
my own career.
How much of a part did Bury College play in
getting you on track with this journey?
My accounting tutor, Rizwan Qureshi, is very
supportive and has seen my potential. He has
also had a career in the industry, so has been
able to advise me.
I have made new friends and been able to
rekindle old friendships at Bury College. These
have helped me along the way.
What are your aspirations for the future?
To keep progressing. Eventually, I would love
to end up as a CEO or Financial Director.
Rizwan Qureshi, Faisal’s Accounting tutor, said,
“I am so pleased for Faisal. He has worked
incredibly hard during his time at Bury
College and deserves all the success that
comes his way going forward. He is a
great inspiration to all present and
future students.”
