Our clients tell us they want to work with people who take the time to really understand their needs.
School Leaver Programme: Study towards your professional qualifications alongside a permanent salaried career, all without the expense of funding higher education. Depending on your route, you could gain qualifications in CFAB, AAT, ATT and go on to study for your ACA, ACCA, CTA. At the same time, you’ll be gaining invaluable experience in a commercial environment, working on real business projects alongside leading industry professionals. We pay for all your training and we pay you for your work.
Summer School Programme: 2 weeks work experience programme during the summer holidays. If successful over this period, it gives you the added benefit of potentially securing a place on one of our School Leaver Programmes once you’ve completed your studies.

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?
