First Intuition - Accountancy and Finance

Accountancy is one of the most diverse professions in the world with a growing global demand for qualified professionals. As a finance apprentice, you will finish your programme with an internationally recognised accountancy qualification.

If you are ready to take on the world of work and pursue a career in accountancy, an apprenticeship is a fantastic way to get into employment. We believe apprenticeships offer a real alternative to the standard routes of work or higher education. With an apprenticeship you will be earning a salary whilst you continue to learn new specialist skills to help you develop and progress in your career. This career path opens doors to countless opportunities in various sectors and industries across the globe.

Award-winning accountancy training provider

First Intuition is an award-winning accountancy training provider with expert tutors and exceptional pass rates. At First Intuition we have created a different kind of training provider. One where people are at the heart of everything we do.

First Intuition opened its first study centre in 2007. We created a warm and inviting place that aspiring accountants would be supported and treated as individuals and not just a number. Over 10,000 students annually now use First Intuition and achieve industry leading results. One of the necessary conditions for qualifying in our apprenticeship programme is that you will need to be in a relevant job role (First Intuition is a Training Provider not an employer). If you are not currently employed, the UCAS apprenticeship page is a useful place to search for current apprenticeship vacancies in accountancy. Our apprentices come from a range of backgrounds, vary in age and are at various stages of their careers. We work with our apprentices and their employers to develop their individual technical and all-round skills that help businesses to thrive and grow.
