What Training will I receive?

 

  • You will undertake the “Assistant Accountant” Apprenticeship (an Advanced Apprenticeship in Accounting), with full support from Accountancy Learning (Our Training Provider) 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
  • 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

 

Beware of scams online or from individuals claiming to represent us. A Kerry employee will not solicit candidates through a non-Kerry email address or phone number. In addition, Kerry does not currently utilise video chat rooms (e.g., Google Hangouts) to conduct interviews. Refuse any request that asks you to provide payment to participate in the hiring process (e.g., purchasing a “starter kit,” investing in training, or something similar). Kerry will not ask you to pay any money at any point in the hiring process with the exception of reimbursable travel expenses. In addition, any payments made by Kerry will be from official firm accounts bearing the Kerry name.
