Overview<br />

Assistant accountants provide support to<br />

internal <strong>and</strong> external customers either within<br />

an accountancy practice or for the finance<br />

department of an organisation. An Accounting<br />

Apprenticeship will allow you to get involved<br />

with a range of tasks including raising<br />

purchase orders, coding, <strong>and</strong> filing invoices<br />

as well as giving a taste of what a career in<br />

Accounting might involve. You will study for an<br />

AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians)<br />

professional qualification while working<br />

for a company <strong>and</strong> earning a wage. AAT<br />

qualifications are highly respected within the<br />

industry <strong>and</strong> demonstrate a level of excellence<br />

<strong>and</strong> work-readiness sought by employers.<br />

How will I be assessed?<br />

• AAT examinations<br />
