Further Apprenticeship Success for Chamber Training

Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber Training is celebrating another apprenticeship success with accountancy firm, Burgis & Bullock.  Trainee tax specialist Kingsley Rhule has completed his Higher Apprenticeship (level 4) despite the challenges brought on by Covid-19.  

Kingsley is a real advocate for apprenticeships as he joined Chamber Training to study foundation accountancy at level 2 (AAT) in July 2016 successfully progressing through to level 4.

As the leading provider of apprenticeships and business to business training courses in Coventry & Warwickshire, Chamber Training has a strong track record of supporting businesses to design and deliver a plan of learning that meets their specific requirements. Apprenticeships are designed around the needs of employers and enable businesses to grow their own talent and become more productive.

Commenting on Kingsley’s success Sean Farnell, Partner at Burgis & Bullock, said: “Since joining our personal tax team over four years ago, Kingsley’s confidence and knowledge have developed significantly. We are sure he will continue to develop into an excellent tax professional.

 “We have worked closely with Chamber Training for many years in order to shape the future of our trainees.  Recruiting the right apprentices is vital in maintaining the right level of skills we need to remain competitive. Chamber Training’s apprenticeship programme continues to offer our trainees the platform to gain a real hands-on experience, whilst enhancing their skills and gaining qualifications.”

Nicky Cheshire, Account Manager at Chamber Training remarked: “We are delighted to have been able to support Kingsley in his training and development.  We are currently working with a wide range of accountancy firms to provide a structured pathway to training and developing qualified accountants.  Apprenticeships offer an exciting route to attract new talent and are a real investment for the future.

“We would urge employers to take advantage of additional Government incentive payments for supporting businesses to create new jobs and apprenticeships. Until 31 January 2021, employers can access £3,000 for each new apprentice aged 16-18 recruited into a new job, £2,000 for 19-24 year olds and £1,500 for those aged 25 and over. 

“So, if you are looking to recruit an apprentice or train new staff, it is worth taking advantage of the grants whilst they are still available.”
