    If we cannot make it to the London in-office event in early August will there be other opportunities to meet and get to know offer holders in the same office as us?

    Hi Rohan, this varies during the apprenticeship. For the first level of exams (certificate level), it'll be around 3-6 days in college before sitting the exam. For the second level of exams (professional level), it'll be around 4-5 days to learn the content and another 5-6 days closer to the exam to practice exam techniques. I haven't reached the final (Advanced) level yet, but from my understanding time in college is 6-8 days to learn the content and 5 days closer to the exam to nail down the techniques.

    Thank you very much. If I may ask, how much did the exams challenge you during the course?

    The certificate level exams feature multiple choice and are a good introduction to the Professional Level exams. The second level is definitely harder but consistent question practice, paying attention in college and asking questions if you're stuck makes things a lot easier.
