Apprenticeship in Accountancy Level 2

You will be employed in a relevant job role, focussing on bookkeeping and accounting. You will earn a wage whilst gaining skills and qualifications employers need and value. This apprenticeship could help you find sustained employment working in an accounts department, helping a business or organisation manage their money properly.

Running a business involves a lot of financial activities, from expenses and bills to taxes and payroll. Accountants keep track of all these things, and more, to make sure that businesses - both large and small - manage their money properly. Having a business brain, as well as a way with numbers, is a good start if you want to work in accounting.

The Apprenticeship will include:

• Certificate in Accounting (AAT),
• English - level 1, (unless GCSE achieved within three years)
• maths - level 1, (unless GCSE achieved within three years)
• Employee rights and responsibilities.

• accounts assistant,

• credit control clerk,
• purchase ledger clerk,
