Good Morning and thank you for your question. There are roles within HR and Finance that you may be able to attain Chartered status as an accountant. In terms of whether or not to apply. I would advise a visit to your local careers centre to go through the application process and fully discuss all roles within finance and accountancy. Depending when your course finishes, you might be able to apply now. However, if your course still has some time left before completion your application may lapse due to inactivity. When you start to go through the application process we will ask you for a PED (Preferred Entry Date), so we can guide you into the military based on your availability.
