Your training

The successful candidate will undertake a full review of their existing skills versus what is required in their new role. This will be a structured AAT Apprenticeship programme at Level 3 (depending on candidate’s experience and knowledge).

A blend of classroom and online training will support the candidate to achieve a well-recognised accountancy qualification which will both help with their new role and potentially lead on to further study.

Where it leads

You may begin your training with the AAT qualification, providing a strong foundation in accountancy, and then progress onto ACA or ACCA to qualify as a Chartered Accountant
