Students

We’re leading the way when it comes to raising the standard of accountancy training within the industry, and that means exceptional development opportunities for you. Whatever programme or internship you join us on, you’ll be able to put your knowledge into practice on live assignments, learning the business skills and behaviours you need to be successful.

Technical training and courses

We use both internal and external providers to deliver training and courses for career development. Our curriculum is delivered by both internal learning experts and external providers, such as Clevery and London Business School, while our internal coaching faculty supports employees in-house. This allows us to bring a variety of expertise and depth to our programs. What’s more, senior managers, directors and partners help facilitate these courses to ensure that our colleagues are getting the most out of them.

High quality learning

We design our learning with high quality in mind. Our design principles take into account different learner styles, so that everyone can get the most out of the experience. We use engaging methods and technology, as well as meeting CIPD standards, to ensure that our learners always have a quality experience.
