Commenting on his training with Stephenson Smart, Andrew said, “The firm covered all tuition, travel and exam fees and I really appreciate the investment they make in their trainees to ensure we are successful.”

Sara commented on the support shown by the firm saying, “The Partners at Stephenson Smart have been very supportive, allowing time off for tuition and revision away from work. They have also provided guidance and advice on the courses to ensure I was happy with what was required from me.
