Benefits of the Apprenticeship
“There is a very supportive culture within FT & I personally feel that I have access to a range of resources as well as contact with trustworthy professionals, who are able to help me to develop as a young professional.”
“The practical skills I have learned during my training programme have really helped me progress through the ACCA qualification. Without the excellent ongoing support … I would not have been able to make the progress I have … I really look forward to continuing to learn and develop my skills here after I have gained my ACCA qualification.”
“The main benefits are that you have earned for the whole period of your apprenticeship, and you have practical work experience that will exceed that of the equivalent degree entrants.”
