Sara N.

Assurance Associate - Cambridge

Hey Noor, I'm an apprentice and everyday is pretty much different, You work on so many different tasks and are given a variety of different roles and responsibilities. You aren't restricted in just one area of assurance. Even in my first few weeks I was exposed to so many different areas which made it so much more interesting.

Where there any particular skills or any sort of experience you needed to be an apprentice?

Hi Noor - you do not need to have any previous qualifications at ACCA level - you'll need to be on track for 3 A Levels or equivalent in any subjects :)
