The graduate apprenticeship programme is an accredited work-based learning programme combining an honours degree from RGU with the globally recognised ICAS Chartered Accountant qualification over a five year period. This is mainly completed through supported online learning and some in person university days. Academic study is combined with the practical experience you obtain from working in the office whilst you are being supported by your mentor.

The role will start late August 2025 and then the university course will commence the beginning of September 2025.
Throughout your five year course, you will move between each of our departments, such as Payroll, Virtual Finance, Accounts, Tax and Audit and gain experience to support your learning whilst working.
As an Apprentice you will receive:
- A salary of £14,500, which will increase each year you successfully pass your coursework
- One day per week to work on your coursework and attend online classrooms
- 31 days annual leave per annum with an accrual scheme
