Apprenticeships
Accounting apprenticeships provide on-the-job training, ideal if you’re looking to take your first steps in the profession or a business looking to build a committed and motivated finance team.
Whichever side of the table you sit, apprenticeships make great sense.
As an apprentice, you’ll learn and earn, avoid university debt, gain valuable work experience, and add a recognised qualification to your CV.
- Apprentices in England can start with an average salary of £20,000 per year after completing their programme, with earning potential often outpacing that of university graduates.
- 65% of higher apprentices progress to further qualifications within four years, enhancing career progression opportunities. (Sources: GOV.UK National Apprenticeships Service, Department for Education)
As a business, you’ll reduce recruitment and training costs while gaining dedicated employees who help power your growth.

- 86% of employers say apprenticeships help develop skills directly relevant to their organisation.

If you’re looking for an apprenticeship, you can still search here in the meantime.
