A Smarter Way to Build Accounting Talent
The Accounting Technician Apprenticeship is an innovative, two-year, work-based education programme that combines structured on-the-job learning with college-based study. Apprentices are employed from day one, enabling them to contribute directly to your organisation while developing strong technical, professional and workplace skills.
This blended approach ensures that learning is immediately applied in the workplace. Apprentices gain hands-on experience while studying accounting, taxation, law and business modules that reflect real-world practice. The result is capable, confident professionals who understand your business and add value from the outset.
