ICAEW Apprentices at First Intuition Maidstone perform better in their accountancy exams than those not on programme.

The statistics below support the idea that the ICAEW apprenticeship programme provides significant benefits to learners. Once ICAEW Apprentices arrive at the final stage of their exams, they have acquired numerous skills and behaviours alongside their knowledge which evidently has a positive impact on overall performance.

How does the Impact Skills Programme (ISP) support ICAEW Apprentices?

The ISP is designed to work on these skills. Employer consultation has guided the programme to allow First Intuition apprentices to add greater value within the workplace and in learners’ studies.

These apprentices will attend modules throughout the programme that develop the following skills:

• Integrated focus on teamwork and problem solving
• Integrated focus on risk
• Focus on project management
• Integrated focus on leadership
• Focus on integrated digital technologies and data
• Professional development

Many of these equip apprentices to perform better in their professional exams. At Advanced Stage, skills such as problem solving help them to manage the challenging nature of the exams.

As with the real world, learners are now further examined on their ability to perform data analytics, which provide significant overlap with the ISP.

Apprentices at Advanced Stage are the leaders and managers of tomorrow. The professional exams require them to demonstrate that they have the ability to fulfil these ambitions. Consequently, having built upon these in the programme, apprentices have a greater chance of succeeding.

Finally, our Employer Feedback on the benefits of our ISP

‘The extra courses/ skills modules that apprentices attend during their studies have helped them to work on their ‘soft skills’.

‘One learner was transferred on to the apprenticeship having been a commercial learner. Their improvement has been noticeable.’
