Apprenticeships and End Point Assessment (EPA)
Apprenticeships are a great way to earn an internal audit professional designation while gaining experience working as an internal auditor in England. The Chartered IIA is passionate about supporting the apprenticeship routes available within internal audit.
The apprenticeship programs are developed through groups of employers, training providers, and other stakeholders and the Chartered IIA was proud to be part of this group developing the newly launched Level 4 Internal Audit Technician and the Level 6 Certified Internal Auditor coming in early 2027.
