Studying accounts can be financially rewarding – but finding the right job and reaping the awards as soon as humanly possible can be a bit of a challenge.

Luckily for budding accounting students, Academy of Business Leaders are offering an innovative course that will get you qualified, increase your cashflow – and get you a job from day one. Here are 11 things you need to know…

1. Don’t waste time and get straight down to business

No need to mess around with useless paperwork or a dead-end project – get down to making money from the get-go. And whereas you’ll be looking at 3 to 5 years to complete a university course or the regular ACCA Qualification, you’ll be a fully qualified accountant after just two years with the Academy of Business Leaders.

2. You’ll be learning so much more

Placed in a real working environment and guided by industry professionals, this course is unlike any other; providing an experiential and hands-on approach.

3. They’ve got the equation right to favour your success

Students perform better because they get the chance to actually apply their knowledge.

4. The Academy supports the development of soft skills

Having the ability to hold a conversation has never been more important. After all, technical skills aren’t everything. This program promises to equip you with the life skills and experience that you need to become a fully fledged accountant and stand out from the crowd.

5. The course is endorsed by one of the Big Four

Academy of Business Leaders will be powering EY Malta‘s EY360 – so you know the course must be legit.

6. Your teachers will be industry leaders

Get your lessons straight from the people making history. Benefit from an internationally recognised programme that is delivered by industry professionals.

7. You’ll receive a salary for your apprenticeship hours

Read that again. Yep, it’s still true, and awesome.

8. And the course itself is free – like, totally free

Whereas other courses charge up to €10,000, you get this one for free with up to €8,750 sponsored by your employer. Pretty awesome, no?

9. Best of all, you won’t need to attend classes in the evenings or on weekends

That means you get to enjoy your evenings and weekends, as intended.

10. You’re not just a number

Everyone, from the tutors to the work placement employers, are invested in your growth (literally) and want you to reach your full potential.

11. Upon successful completion of the course you score a full-time job

Like, is there a better bonus than that?
