About
First Intuition embarked on its journey in 2007, born from a simple yet powerful idea: to place the learner at the very heart of everything. What began as a single study centre has since blossomed into a respected name in professional education. The founders, a group of experienced accountants and tutors, envisioned a training provider that would become the premier choice for both aspiring students and discerning employers in the accountancy field. Their commitment was to create a learning environment that was not just instructive but also warm, inviting, and supportive, treating each individual as more than just a number. Over the years, First Intuition has expanded its footprint significantly, now boasting a network of over 20 study centres strategically located across the United Kingdom, including major hubs like London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Bristol, as well as offering comprehensive online learning options. This growth has enabled them to reach and support over 10,000 students annually, guiding them through rigorous professional qualifications such as AAT, ACCA, CIMA, and ICAEW. The company's dedication to quality and student success hasn't gone unnoticed, earning them numerous accolades, including being named PQ Magazine's 'College of the Year' multiple times and receiving an 'Outstanding' rating from Ofsted. In 2019, they further extended their reach by launching First Intuition Learning Solutions, an international subsidiary providing bespoke online training to partners in over 65 countries. More recently, in April 2023, First Intuition secured investment from Apiary Capital, facilitating a management buyout and paving the way for accelerated growth and development, while ensuring the core values of learner success and customer service remain paramount. This new chapter promises to enhance their ability to invest in new centres, innovative programmes, and central services, empowering their team and continuing their mission to develop financially fluent professionals ready to make an impact.
