It’s anticipated that it will take 15-18 months to complete this qualification but this will be discussed with you when you start. It’s a rolling programme so you can start at any time of the year.

Requirements for English and Maths will be dependent upon age, previous qualifications, and chosen apprenticeship standard. This will be discussed during the application process. Full support is given to any applicant required or desiring to work towards their Maths and English qualifications.

It’s preferable to have a Level 2 Certificate in Accounting or equivalent experience in an accounting role, but if you’re new to accounting, don’t worry! We provide two foundational bookkeeping units during the first three months to help you build the right skills.

Your training is fully funded by contributions from the government and your employer.

To receive government funding, you must currently live in England and have lived in the UK/EEA for the last 3 years.

The course is delivered through a mixture of workplace training, tutor-led classes, group work and individual study. You’ll be taught the core knowledge, skills and behaviours by our expert tutors who will also support you to develop your portfolio which will be used to gather evidence.

An End Point Assessment will be carried out at the end of your apprenticeship and your tutor will help you to prepare for this.

After completing this apprenticeship, you’ll have the skills to move into roles such as Professional Accountant, Audit Trainee, Corporate Recovery Analyst, Credit Controller, or Tax Accountant.
