Premier Training

Premier Training is a specialist accountancy training provider offering both apprenticeships and distance learning courses in accounting, bookkeeping and related software. Its apprenticeship provision focuses on four finance and accounting standards: Accounts or Finance Assistant (Level 2), Assistant Accountant (Level 3), Professional Accounting Technician (Level 4) and Credit Controller and Collector (Level 2). These programmes combine on-the-job experience with structured off‑the‑job learning delivered through online and face‑to‑face training and self‑study, and are designed for new entrants, existing staff and employers looking to upskill finance teams.

Alongside apprenticeships, Premier Training delivers AAT‑accredited distance learning accountancy and bookkeeping courses at Levels 1–4, plus short courses in Sage, Xero and other accounting software, supported by qualified tutors, video tutorials, marked assignments and both hard copy and e‑books. The organisation emphasises flexible study to fit around work and personal commitments, and provides extensive tutor and course advisor support, including phone, messaging and email, to help learners progress and prepare for assessments. This mix of funded apprenticeships and commercial distance learning enables employers to build finance capability at different levels while giving individuals clear progression routes from entry‑level roles through to advanced accounting technician study.
