What is it like on our apprenticeship scheme?
With Foxley Kingham’s apprenticeship scheme, about 20% of the student’s time is spent in some kind of structured learning.

Throughout the duration of the apprenticeship scheme at Foxley Kingham, you’ll be coached and supported by our staff, who are experts in their field.
This is a fully funded professional qualification, so students won’t need to pay for any courses, exams or study materials.

Profile of some of our apprentices
Alice McCracken
AAT Level 3
“My journey joining Foxley Kingham straight after Sixth Form has been so beneficial for my personal development, not only academically but the office work environment teaches you a lot of working life skills you just can’t learn at university. When studying AAT Level 3 with the firm I found I was always able to find support as many of my colleagues have also studied within the firm, so help is always accessible. I’ve found working here alongside studying was a massive help as I learnt many things whilst doing the job prior to learning it in study, which allowed me to understand certain topics a bit easier.”
Luke Smith
AAT Level 3
“Since arriving from Sixth Form onto the apprenticeship scheme I have seen both my accounting and core competencies develop considerably with support from numerous team members, who are always happy to help and contribute. I found studying AAT Level 3 alongside working day to day extremely beneficial being able to implement my studies knowledge into practice.”
Taylor Lydon
CFAB Level 4
“During my time at FK, I feel like the work environment is great and that everyone is willing to help. When I studied for AAT Level 3 there was always someone to ask about the course as most people working here have done it. Also, there was no set exam dates so it meant I could study at my own speed.”
Luke Saunders
ACA Professional Level
“Working at Foxley Kingham is great, the team are incredibly supportive and always there to lend a helping hand. What I find brilliant is that as an apprentice there is a genuine care to how you’re coping with the work/study balance and how you are getting on with your courses. “
Ryan Ireton
ACA Professional Level
“From the moment I arrived at Foxley Kingham I felt like part of the team with everyone being so willing to help with my career progression. Whilst studying I have found that the courses I have studied have helped boost my progression and knowledge at work. With the course being very similar to the work I do at Foxley Kingham, it has benefited both my study and my work.”
