Hi Ehsan! My first month as an assurance apprentice in London was a lot of college and training. The first couple of days were an induction, then we went to college for a week. The next week was audit 101 training, then a couple more days of induction! You have lots of opportunities to meet new people and interact with your peer group.
Which office are you joining?

Hi Oliver! Thank you for your response. I am joining the London office Assurance FSO - Asset and Wealth management. How does the exam structure work? 1 week at college and 3 weeks until the exam?

Our first exam is accounting. We first went to college in September 2019 and the exam is May 2020. Next week we're back to college for a refresher course.
Usually we would attend college for a week or so, then have a few weeks before taking the exam

Thanks Oliver. It seems like a very long gap between college and exams?

Only for the first exam. Normally you have 3 weeks or so between college and your exam during which time you do further study

That's perfect. Thank you!
