Hi all,<BR><BR>I have just come into the accountancy world from something totally different, so I am new to this forum.<BR><BR>I have started evening classes in NVQ 4 (Technician due to exemptions) which I am enjoying. I have some academic knowledge of accounting but no hands on expereince.<BR><BR>I have applied for, and been offered, a job at a local accountants office as a Trainee Technician Accountant. I am in Cornwall, South West.<BR><BR>I have been offered £12.5K with a review after 6 months - considering it includes training do you guys think this is about right??<BR><BR>I am also worried about how tough it is going to be and the consequenses of making mistakes! Is software like Sage easy to use??<BR><BR>Any other advice on preparation would be usefull.<BR><BR>TIA

    As an manager in business in Cornwall we would start a trainee of this level on £11,750 - so £12.5 K sounds good.<BR><BR>As long as you make sure that they supervise and train you properly you should make too many mistakes and Sage is very user friendly, again with the proper training.<BR><BR>Good luck!
