If university’s not for you (and it’s not for everyone), why not begin working towards a professional qualification in either audit, tax or advisory right away?
For anyone with A-Level (or equivalent) qualifications, an apprenticeship helps fast track you to qualification whilst you earn, and if you join straight after A-Levels, you can qualify ahead of your peers who go to university.
- Four or five years of studying, learning and gaining real-work experience.

- Gain cutting-edge skills and knowledge working on a variety of exciting projects.

Entry requirements
We have a flexible approach to entry requirements, and don't ask for set grades or subjects. We’ll consider these alongside your strengths, motivations and potential.
Studying alongside working
Apprenticeships typically last four, or five, years. You will spend this time studying and learning alongside gaining real-work experience, putting into action what you have learnt.
Professionally qualified
Through our structured development programme you will study towards two professional qualifications, Level 4 and Level 7 apprenticeship qualifications. Fully funded by us.
