Student programme

The Academy Student programme is a series of five internal residential training courses throughout your training contract.

Twenty-one days of residential training. It’s a big investment – but we believe it is worth it. It’s different, because it blends technical knowledge with behavioural skills.

  • Technical skills – accounting, auditing and taxation
  • Core development – advisory skills, commercial awareness and RSM Tenon values
  • Behavioural skills – self awareness and key management skills

'The student courses are excellent – the way they are delivered and the exercises used means that they are not just extremely beneficial but also highly enjoyable’.

Other programmes

Our Skills Boosters programme is a burst of half- to one-day courses. You’ll cover skills from basic presentation skills, through to time management, negotiation and persuasion skills. We run a three-day Supervisory Skills programme for new staff to management. We also love the challenge of building bespoke and tailor-made solutions.

Core excellence

Our core staff often need a different skill-set to excel in their roles. Our Core Excellence programme achieves just that. Targeting administration, secretarial and support staff, it works on building ‘RSM Tenon’ skills – skills that make us different.

Personal excellence

Achieving your potential is extremely rewarding for you – and for us. Throughout the Personal Excellence programme, you get the chance to stand back and think about…you. It’s a very personal and introspective course. And it’s an investment in your most vital asset - your talent, your personality, you.

This programme is constantly expanding. At the moment, it’s a five-stage development course. It starts at junior management and goes all the way through to director level.

Advisory programme

We are advisers, so this programme develops our technical specialists into specialist advisers. A subtle change of words, but a huge change in behaviour.
We want our people to be able to talk comfortably on wide-ranging issues, and to have the tools and knowledge to be successful advisers.
