Premier XP (Practical Work Experience Programme)

Recognising that distance learning students benefit from practical experience as they prepare for roles in accountancy and finance, the Premier Training team have developed an industry-first practical work experience programme. Introducing Premier XP.

Our research and feedback tell us that accountancy students need, and benefit from, practical experience for a range of reasons – whether it’s learning how to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios, or through building confidence and problem-solving skills by handling actual transactions.

Most importantly, in such a competitive job market, practical experience can significantly improve employability. Employers value candidates who have hands-on experience as it reduces training time and demonstrates readiness for the workplace.

Premier XP, provides students with real-world experience in the day-to-day responsibilities of an accounts assistant or bookkeeper, helping them bridge the gap between theory and practice, and gain hands-on experience in purchase and sales ledger tasks. Upon completion, students are awarded a work experience certificate, job recommendation letter and guaranteed a verbal reference.
