    What made EY stand out to you more than other apprenticeships ?

  • Anonymous

    But when I had reached the experience day stage, I went to the Birmingham office and absolutely loved it! Everyone was so nice and I loved the day and that made me realise EY was for me

    EY stood out more as it was part of the big 4- which does seem a bit cliche

    And what qualifications did you need to start your apprenticeship?

    Also was there any college courses EY put you through as training or did you just start with the hands on experience?

  • Anonymous

    Yes so they gave us a month of training at the start, working towards the ICAS qualification so we have the basic knowledge of accounting before we start!

    The amount of training you get at the start varies depending on whether you start as a placement student or as a graduate
