In order to secure an apprenticeship, you must first secure a contract with an employer. You must apply directly to an employer rather than to the training provider. Once you have found an employer to take you on as an apprentice, your employer must then register you as an apprentice with SOLAS. Your training will then be organised through the local ETB, Institute of Technology or Higher Education College. All apprenticeship courses are run subject to demand.

Course Summary

Accounting Technician Apprenticeship is a fantastic route to a career in professional accountancy. This work-based programme is delivered through KCETB Training Services, in conjunction with Accounting Technicians Ireland (ATI) which requires the apprentice to attend college onsite one day per week (off-the job training) at Carlow Institute, and work with a local employer (on-the-job training) on the other four days during term time.

Everything you learn will support and inform your work with your employer, providing you with the opportunity to apply newly gained knowledge and skills on a daily basis.
