Having recently completed a university degree in Business and Management Accounting, I chose the apprenticeship route because, after doing research, I found that it would be a great way for me to gain my ACCA qualification with the right balance of work and study. I attend college a few days a week every so often, which gives me all the knowledge and understanding necessary to be prepared for my exams, while also gaining experience in a full-time role.
I’m only a few months in, but I have found the apprenticeship process great so far. I have attended college for a few days for tuition and revision on a couple of occasions now and found the courses really varied and interesting. There has been a lot of flexibility and support in terms of managing the workload at work around my studies.
At Steer, I have been able to gain a lot of on-the-job training, putting in to practice a lot of things that I had been taught in my degree at university. From cash flows to bank reconciliations and processing invoices, I have learnt a lot during my time here. I have received so much support from each member of my team which has put me in a position to excel here.
I would recommend apprenticeships as it gives you the opportunity to work and study at the same time, with a set structure that makes it easy to balance the two. It allows you to gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in a career in your chosen field.
