EY School Leaver Programme

A full time job with a competitive salary, independence and responsibility – without going to university first. The EY School Leaver programme is an alternative to university that can lead to the same professional qualification you’d get as a graduate. You could even qualify sooner than some graduates, all without any fees or debt.

Our five-year training programme lets you join EY straight after school or college – just as some of our Directors and Partners did. From day one you’ll gain valuable experience, earn a salary and build lasting networks.

What you can look forward to:

  • A 5-year structured training programme.
  • Two professional qualifications: the globally-recognised ICAEW Certificate in Finance and Business (CFAB) followed by a second professional qualification linked to your chosen Service Line – Assurance, Transactions or Tax.
  • Challenging work on a diverse range of projects and clients.
  • Study leave – time out of the office to prepare for your exams.
  • On-the-job coaching, your own career counsellor and a dedicated team to support you through your professional studies
  • A tailored induction alongside our graduate recruits to introduce you to senior people in EY and help you settle in to the business.
  • A host of transferable business skills.
  • Competitive salary benefits, that include a pension (up to 6% matched contributions), bikes for work, a subsidised gym membership, season ticket loan, sports teams and annual travel insurance.
  • The same world-class training and experience in all of our UK offices.

To be eligible for our schools leaver programme you should be studying A levels, Scottish Highers, or equivalent.

At EY, academics form part of our overall hiring decision but we don’t screen out any school application purely on the basis of academic performance at A-Level.

We will assess your suitability for a role at using a number of tools including situational strengths tests, numerical ability tests, telephone interview and an assessment centre.
