Audit Intensive
During the three-year Audit Intensive programme, you'll study for the ACA or CA (for those in Scotland), qualification via the intensive study route, frontloading most of the exams in your first year. The second and third years will involve building up a fantastic range of work experience and developing your technical knowledge to apply within the workplace.
Audit Empowered
Our Audit Empowered programme takes a blended approach, where you can take ownership of your studies and help shape your learning. This programme spreads the ACA examinations over three years so that you are able to build up your technical knowledge, and can gradually apply what you are learning in training to your workplace experience.
On this programme, you’ll study for either the ACA or the CA (for those in Scotland), depending on your office location. It’s the perfect starting point to build an exciting and varied long-term career with us.
