APC Training
The Graduate Training Programme is geared to guiding you to the successful completion of the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). The programme is structured around providing you with sufficient breadth and depth of professional knowledge and experience during the minimum two-year period. This is achieved by way of the following courses:

• An effective 4-day Induction programme incorporating speakers from all areas of the firm
• Rotation between departments / disciplines normally on a 6-9 monthly basis
• Allocation of a nominated APC Supervisor and Counsellor for the duration of the training programme
• Invitation to attend core Business Skills training courses
• Structured Training Agreement between candidate and employer
• In-house programme of Professional Development seminars
• Financial assistance to attend external CPD seminars
• External APC Preparatory Course at Kingston University or other recognised University as appropriate
• Round of APC mock interviews
• In-house APC revision day
• In-house seminars throughout the training
• Advice and support from Training Manager as required

In addition to the training and support outlined above, your progress is monitored throughout their training through:

• 6-monthly Question & Answer sessions to assess competencies achieved and to provide practice throughout on questioning techniques
• End of Rotation Monitoring – each time a graduate rotates through departments, managers will be asked to provide feedback on general performance.
