  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I work alongside full time employees at a client location. The team make me feel welcome and never treat me as an apprentice, rather one of the team which is amazing. I work on client systems on a daily basis, analysing and reviewing their systems and improving the way it works.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • QA ensures that I have two 2-day Uni days at least per module within my course. I'm supported with quizzes and content, which is provided each week for independent studies. My company allows me to take time away from work to complete any outstanding work or revision - they're extremely understanding.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • As above, the company wants me to do well in my studies and make sure that I'm learning something every day during the week & course. Anyone is more than happy (when not too busy) to run through any queries I may have and help me with coursework if needed.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • What I learn in my university course quite often appears, or will appear, within day to day work at client site. I may use skills learnt in University to aid me with coursework or exams at QA, and vice versa for anything I may learn while on the job at work.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • I can work with a variety of teams in a variety of locations and situations - we're actually pushed in the direction of events that involve networking with employees or clients and going to other events is often very easy, as they're publicised via websites and emails for employees to see.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • The company is amazing to work for. I've improved so much since starting, and I've learnt so much too. The support is outstanding and I'm made to feel like any other employee within the company - not an apprentice. The salary is competitive unlike other apprenticeships paying minimum apprentice wage.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Accenture?
  • Make sure you look at our core values, what we do as a company. Look at the apprenticeship pathways and ensure that you choose the one that best suits what you'd like to achieve in the 4 years with the company. Be yourself during the interviews and show that you're eager to learn and work for Accenture.
