My qualification, in summary has been about introducing me to the world of finance and Investment, so this help me understand a lot of the jargon that is said during meeting or presentation.

Yes, because we are in lock down their are mostly held on zoom or Microsoft but they are a lot of extra curricular activities that is being done mostly every week, its a brilliant way to network as well
