Hi Mehdi - thanks for checking! If you have a degree already you may be better suited to join the Graduate Programme, is there a reason you were looking at Apprenticeship opportunities instead?

Hi Kate, thanks for responding! The reason I am interested in an apprenticeship level is due to the lack of experience I have in the world of assurance/finance. An apprenticeship level can give me the education that I need from a beginner level (sort of).
If I did apply towards an apprenticeship level, would my degree hinder my chance of securing a role at this level?

Hi Mehdi - we don't look for or require relevant work experience to join our Assurance Graduate Programmes. A lot of our Assurance Graduates come from non-Finance or Business related degrees, so you certainly wouldn't be in a unique situation! Technically you can still apply for an Apprenticeship, but, as I mentioned, if you have a degree we would still suggest that you apply to the Graduate Programme.

Right, I understand now. I am very much poised towards applying to graduate programmes in the near future. Thank you Kate for offering clarity on my query.
