Training schedule
You will undertake the “Assistant Accountant” Apprenticeship (an Advanced Apprenticeship in Accounting), with full support from Accountancy Learning as part of their Flexible Apprenticeship Programme.
Assessment will be by an “End Point Assessment” and will be graded “Pass” or “Distinction”. This will include two elements:
A Professional Discussion. This will include a series of questions allowing you to to display the knowledge and experience you have obtained over your apprenticeship. You will build a Portfolio of reflections and product evidence that will be used for discussion points in the PD.
A Synoptic Exam. This will include elements you have learnt throughout your studies of the individual AAT Units and this will contribute towards your end grade.
You will be prepared for both of these elements by undertaking studies for the AAT (Level 3) Advanced Diploma in Accounting. This will underpin both elements of your “end point assessment”. It is anticipated that your apprenticeship duration will be for 15-18 months. Those with no prior accounting knowledge might be required to first complete their Level 2 Accounts/Finance Assistant Apprenticeship.
You will receive support from both the employer, and the training provider, to complete and achieve your Apprenticeship and will be given time to study during the week on a day release basis. As you are working towards a professional qualification, it is also expected that you will continue your studies outside of normal office hours.
As you learn more in both the office and in your studies your responsibilities, and the variety of tasks you undertake, are expected to increase.
Those with previous relevant qualifications and experience may be considered for a Higher Apprenticeship undertaking the Professional Accounting Technician Standard.

About this employer
With 25 years’ experience in the Automotive Electronics business, starting with Sony UK and culminated with my appointment as Technical Director of C-KO International Ltd. Following on from this, I decided to start my own business in March 2020. My mission for EWT is to maintain the special relationships that I have established and enjoyed with so many of you over my years, including the excellent ties with our supply chains in China, Korea, Germany and of course the UK. I am deeply appreciative of the support that we at EWT have received from both our customers and business partners throughout our initial period of trading. The advent of electric vehicles, the need for climate change and the move away from fossil fuels provides many exciting opportunities for both innovation and business opportunities. We are currently already at an advanced stage of phasing in our own initial products which will be seen over the coming weeks and months. In addition, we will be continuing to expand our existing range of products to satisfy the existing needs of the market. To support and endorse our products we will continue to provide full technical help to meet our customer’s needs and of course all our products will continue to have the benefit of our standard two-year warranty. Our team at EWT are and remain conscious that your satisfaction, both customers and suppliers is paramount. Ultimately, this will be the key to our future success.
