Accountancy Training Opportunities



Get your students on the pathway to success with an international qualification

We know how important it is to support your students on the path to a successful career and provide them with multiple options that support their ambitions – whether they choose the University or alternative school-leaver route.

While University continues to be perceived as the more reputable option - the apprenticeship route with ACCA offers the opportunity for students to start a great career in accounting and business – without the student debt. And, if they later decide they want to get a degree, ACCA has options for that too.

ACCA qualifications are among the most widely recognised and respected in business – allowing them to work around the world in any sector or industry.

Not only can they work in multiple different roles, our ACCA members work around the world for top brands including Coca-Cola, Morgan Stanley, Dyson, Santander, the NHS and Microsoft.

What is the ACCA Apprenticeship?

  • A Level 4 Trailblazer syllabus includes a Diploma in Accounting and Business
  • Minimum of 12 months to complete
  • Focus on knowledge, behaviours and skills
  • Ongoing work experience and mentoring
  • Just three exams taken ‘on demand’ during your apprenticeship, and one final exam when both the apprentice and employer are ready
