Hi- at EY alot of people have been through the experience of working whilst doing exams! So during exam period everyone is really understanding so once 5pm hits you can log off for the day and revise for the rest of the evening! Alot of us tend to revise together as well when we are in the office! Plus its only ever a few weeks then you get a well deserved break between exams

How many exams are there is total throughout the tax apprenticeship course and when there is a lot on your plate, do EY support you when you need days off to revise? Is it a study day once a week?

So I believe its around 15 ish maybe a few more. It takes 4 years to be qualified as we also have to do so many work experience days. I don't think it becomes too much however its key to verbalize with your team when you have exams. We do get study leave as well for most exams.

Thank you! I also want to ask if EY is flexible with grade requirements and to ask what grades did you get at Alevels if you dont mind answering

So you need a garde 4 / C in your English and maths GCSE and then you need to be on track for 112 UCAS points
