Why attend our Accountancy Summer School?
Joining us at our accountancy summer school should help you make up your mind about whether a career in this industry is for you. Students who attend in years 10, 11, 12 and 13 will gain a better understanding of the roles available, the skills needed and the career paths in accountancy. Some students complete the two-day event having realised that this a a great route for them, while others will have concluded that accountancy is not for them, leaving them free to explore other career options.
