Crowe UK hires school leavers and graduates onto apprenticeship training contracts, usually at Level 7 (equivalent to a master's degree); school-leaver contracts last four years. Most trainees study for the ICAEW ACA (Audit and Business Solutions), while Tax trainees follow the ATT/CTA route, with tuition from Kaplan and First Tuition and paid study leave. Crowe recruits 100+ trainees for a September intake plus a smaller January intake.
