About this course

Level 7 (EPA) Accountancy or Taxation Professional Course in Gateshead. Classes run at Access Training Gateshead, part-time during the day. This is a Level 7 apprenticeship, funded through your employer's apprenticeship levy or through employer co-investment. The course runs over 36 months and leads to the ACCA qualification, a globally respected credential in accountancy, audit, and tax. If you hold an AAT Level 4 qualification, you may be able to start at the applied skills level. Graduates with an accountancy or finance degree may be eligible to begin at the strategic level.

Who this course is for

This apprenticeship is aimed at those seeking to progress their career and become a certified chartered accountant, or work in an accountancy, audit or tax firm.

Completing the ACCA qualification offers many benefits both personally and professionally to include: enhancing your job prospects, salary, professional development, and career progression, all while providing you with a globally respected qualification.

Entry requirements

If you're qualified to AAT level 4, you're exempt from the applied knowledge level and can start at applied skills straight away.

If you’re a graduate with an accountancy or finance degree, you may be eligible to start at the strategic level.

You will need to provide your certificates to apply for exemptions directly on the ACCA website.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop advanced technical knowledge in financial accounting and reporting.
  • You'll apply strategic professional skills to complex accountancy and taxation scenarios.
  • You'll demonstrate competence in audit principles and practice.
  • You'll analyse and advise on tax planning and compliance.
  • You'll show professional judgement in real accountancy and finance contexts.
  • You'll meet the standards required for ACCA membership and chartered accountant status.

How you will learn

The end point assessment is the final stage of the apprenticeship standard. Assessment is conducted by an independent assessor and includes a portfolio of evidence, a professional discussion, and a case study or examination, depending on the apprenticeship standard requirements. Classroom-based sessions at Access Training Gateshead support your preparation throughout the programme.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Access Training Gateshead will confirm anything else you need before you start.
