What we are asked about this
01 Do trainees need to know Polish accounting rules?
No. Trainees learn the Polish rules on the job; what helps is the basics of double-entry bookkeeping from their studies. The documents are in Polish, and the mentor goes through them in English or Turkish.
02 Will the trainee work with real client data?
Yes, under supervision. Every trainee first signs a confidentiality undertaking and receives GDPR training, and access to client data is limited to the task in hand.
03 Can the traineeship count as our students’ compulsory placement?
Your school or department decides that. We write the tasks and learning outcomes against your curriculum in the Learning Agreement, so that they can be assessed and recognised.
