The most common routes to becoming an accountant involve:
* A-Levels: You'll need strong A-Level grades in relevant subjects (again, maths is usually crucial), to get onto a degree apprenticeship or university degree course.
* Degree Apprenticeships: These often require GCSEs but place more emphasis on the apprenticeship itself and the skills you develop during the programme. Strong GCSEs are still advantageous for selection.
In short, focus on achieving strong GCSE grades in maths and English. The higher the grade, the better your options will be. Research specific university courses or apprenticeship schemes you're interested in to see their precise entry requirements.
