    Hey Noor, I'm an apprentice and everyday is pretty much different, You work on so many different tasks and are given a variety of different roles and responsibilities. You aren't restricted in just one area of assurance. Even in my first few weeks I was exposed to so many different areas which made it so much more interesting.

    Where there any particular skills or any sort of experience you needed to be an apprentice?

    Hi Noor - we look for all sorts of strengths and skills in our people, but throughout the application process we have some key strengths we measure which you can find out more of on our website: ey.com/uk/strengths - these include being a team player, being curious. I'd check out our Project You experience where we'll show you three of your strengths based on your interests - you can check this out https://eyprojectyou.com/

    Hi Noor - you do not need to have any previous qualifications at ACCA level - you'll need to be on track for 3 A Levels or equivalent in any subjects :)
