Why do a Modern Apprenticeship?

Modern Apprenticeships might be right for you if you prefer to learn from hands-on experience, and would prefer part time rather than full time study. Being able to earn while you learn is another plus point.

Levels Available

The Modern Apprenticeship in Accounting is available at the following levels:

You will learn how to record and analyse the income and outgoings of companies, big or small, so that they know how much money they are making and spending.

Who Can Apply?

Anyone living in Scotland who is over school leaving age can apply. Sometimes employers set an upper age limit, as the Scottish Government doesn’t always fund training for those aged over 24.

You would check this with individual employers.

For entry to SCQF Level 6 or 8, it is recommended you have completed the apprenticeship at SCQF Level 5, or have achieved Higher Accountancy, or 2 Highers in other subjects. You should also have work experience.

You will be able to see details in vacancies advertised.

Qualifications Gained

You will achieve the relevant Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ), Diploma or other competency based qualification. In addition, you work towards core skills and complete industry specific training.

Duration

This apprenticeship will take between 1-2 years to complete.
