where and when to apply for a training vacancy in accounting in Bristol - Uk?
I am looking to study AAT in January and go on eventually and study to be a chartered accountant soon after my completion of AAT. Getting Training vacancies though is the trouble. Can anyone suggest which chartered accountant firms to try applying to and when is the best time to send my application? Thanks.

Answer 1 :
I assume you have registered with the AAT, if not you can still go onto their website (link below). Click on students and then resource centre, there is a careers support paragraph with another link. The other thing to do would be to go to the local job centre and get a list of local accountants and write to them. Don't try the big firms as they do not want AAT trainees, go for small one or two partner firms, they usually give the best training as they have a diverse client base which is great for learning. My firm is a three partner firm and we have 4 AAT trainees at the moment and they all sail through the exams with no problems. With regard to the timing I would do it as soon as possible, we normally take on trainees in Sep and Oct so we get a good choice of school leavers (A level). Good luck and I hope you find the right job for you.
