The programme

You don’t need to go to university to get on in your career. Not if you have some good ‘A’ levels or equivalent behind you.

And as well as practical book-keeping, auditing or tax specific skills, you’ll develop in-depth business knowledge thanks to formal learning, on-the-job experience and coaching from colleagues.

Whether you're about to leave school or college, or you're ready to make a career change, our school and college leaver programmes are perfect for you if you’ve already decided a career in accountancy or finance is for you. You could gain your professional qualification faster than your friends who go to university with the added bonus of being debt free.
