The finance sector is one that benefits greatly from apprenticeships, as the day-to-day work requires a great level of both theoretical knowledge and hands on experience. LMP Education offers a range of apprenticeships for the Finance sector, from Level 2 to Level 4.
One of our learners that benefitted from the finance pathway is Dhruv Vaghela, a Level 3 Assistant Accountant apprentice at Worldwide Logistics Group UK.
Dhruv decided to start an apprenticeship as he said, “it is the best opportunity for me to continue my accounting career as well as gain my AAT professional qualification.”
He continues to explain the benefits of apprenticeships in his sector saying ”I believe apprenticeships are the perfect way to get into the accounting industry as you gain real world experience along with industry standard qualifications whereas at university a broad agree is given and it hard to find jobs after as you have no experience.”
Dhruv benefitted greatly from the work experience an apprenticeship programme provides and added that he is most proud of “applying my theoretical knowledge to my job. An apprenticeship programme gives me real world experience and developing my skills and knowledge which allows me to be a better accountant.”
LMP’s finance programmes are run in collaboration with Mindful Education that provide a unique blended learning experience. When talking about his learning experience Dhruv said that he most enjoyed the “weekly support through mindful and teacher support when needed to go through topics I have struggled with.”
Through the Level 3 Assistant Accountant programme learners get a well-rounded education on a number of skills. When asked about the most important skills he’s learned in his programme Dhruv highlighted “excel knowledge, communications, working well within the team, and workload management.”
Discussing the future, Dhruv stated that after finishing his apprenticeship programme he would like to “go on to my AAT Level 4 to become a qualified accountants then go onto my chartered exams with ACCA.”
Well done, Dhruv, and best of luck in the future!
