Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Working on various clients, completing audit testing.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Really good but the modules are difficult.

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
All managers and colleagues at PwC that I worked with were great.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I get teaching during term 1 and 3.

It helps provide a basis of audit. I do not believe business or tax help with my audit work though.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes lots of socials but less this year due to COVID but looking forward to joining activities after lockdown is eased.
