About the Accounting Skills Academy

The Accounting Skills Academy provides free training opportunities and support packages to help Londoners get a job in the accounting sector. We do this by providing bespoke flexible learning programmes to fit individual circumstances and availability. We aim to give them the confidence and skills they need to be employable within 3 to 5 weeks, and a guaranteed job interview with an employer who is accredited with the Good Work Standard. The Academy is run in partnership with Tottenham Hotspur Foundation validated by the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) and is internationally recognised.

Our Accounting Skills Academy offers a Level 2 Pre-Apprenticeship qualification to prepare learners for the Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship, which usually takes between 18 months to two years to complete. After this, they can progress to the Level 4 Higher Apprenticeship in Accounting to set them on the way to becoming a Chartered Accountant.

The pre-apprenticeship programme starts in September, January and April each year and provides the accounting administration skills learners need for an apprenticeship and develops leadership and coaching skills through a Sports Leaders Award with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
