Apprenticeship programme

Our award-winning apprenticeship programme is a brilliant way to start your career in accounting straight from school or college. You’ll gain recognised qualifications, build valuable skills and grow personally and professionally, all while earning a salary.

Why choose an apprenticeship at UNW?

Over three years, you’ll work towards your Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) qualification while gaining first-hand experience from day one.

You’ll benefit from:

Real experience - From the outset, you’ll be involved in real work with real clients, helping you build confidence and develop skills you’ll use throughout your career.
Support from our team - You’ll be guided by experienced colleagues and supported by a network of current apprentices who’ve been in your shoes and can help you settle in.
Learning as you go - Your training will combine on-the-job learning with classroom study as you work towards your qualifications, giving you the best of both worlds.
No university debt - Instead of paying tuition fees, you’ll earn a salary while gaining qualifications and building your future.

By the end of the programme, you’ll hold AAT Levels 3 and 4 and be in a strong position to move on to a higher-level qualification on the path to becoming a fully-fledged chartered accountant.

Is this right for you?

If you’ve completed your A Levels and want to go straight into a career in accounting without going to university, this could be the perfect next step.

Requirements

To be successful for our apprenticeship programme:

You’ll either be currently studying for your A Levels with predicted grades of at least three Bs, or have already achieved those grades.
You’ll also need a minimum grade 6 (B) in both GCSE Maths and English Language.

Applications are now open for apprenticeship roles starting in September 2026 across our Audit and Tax teams.
