We can help you to recruit an apprentice through the Find An Apprenticeship website and there is no charge for this service. For further information please contact us.

If you’re an employer with a pay bill over £3 million each year, you will be paying the apprenticeship levy from 6 April 2017. You will also be able to use the online apprenticeship service to create an account which will help you to choose and pay for your apprenticeship training. More information about the Levy can be found at www.gov.uk.

White Horse Training is able to deliver apprenticeships to Levy paying employers so please contact us for further information about selecting White Horse Training as your Training Provider.

If you are an employer who does not pay the apprenticeship levy you will either share the cost of training and assessing your apprentices with the government – this is called ‘co-investment’, or it could be fully funded depending on the circumstances. White Horse is able to support non-levy paying employers with accessing this government funding so please contact us for further information.

Our programmes are delivered at our offices in Bath and are based on three days a month block release.

As an apprentice you will be employed – earning a wage, whilst benefiting from an invaluable mix of theoretical learning and practical training. An apprenticeship provides an excellent foundation for your career and may be a perfect starting place for progression to further professional qualifications and the route to becoming a Chartered Accountant.

Under the Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship, apprentices will achieve the knowledge element of the apprenticeship standard by studying the content of the AAT Advanced Diploma in Accounting Level 3. Although not a requirement of the apprenticeship, apprentices and employers are encouraged to work towards achievement of this qualification in addition to the full apprenticeship standard. This element is taught on a block release study programme of three days a month here at our offices in Bath.

As well as building technical knowledge, the apprenticeship helps apprentices to develop the skills and behaviours essential for their role in the workplace and the sector in which they work. We will support apprentices and the employer to meet all the requirements of the apprenticeship standard.
Those starting under this apprenticeship would normally have acquired knowledge equivalent to that gained under the AAT Foundation Certificate in Accounting Level 2, have A Levels or equivalent, or have appropriate accounting experience.

Apprentices on the Professional Accounting Technician Apprenticeship will achieve their knowledge element of the apprenticeship standard by studying the content of the AAT Professional Diploma in Accounting Level 4. Although not a requirement of the apprenticeship, apprentices and employers are encouraged to work towards achievement of this qualification in addition to the full apprenticeship standard. This element is taught on a block release study programme of three days a month here at our offices in Bath.

This apprenticeship builds on existing technical knowledge and helps apprentices to further develop their wider professional skills and behaviours essential to success in an office environment. We will support apprentices and the employer to meet all the requirements of the apprenticeship standard.

Those starting under this apprenticeship would normally have acquired the knowledge as gained through the AAT Advanced Diploma in Accounting Level 3.
