Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Assisting senior associates with client work. Being involved with client calls and taking ownership of certain areas of the audit.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
The people an overall atmosphere was lovely however the working hours can be tough when you first start. You could be working 30 hours overtime but you do get paid. This won't always be the case unless you are unlucky with the client you get.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have really learnt how organise my time as you can be given a lot of work depending on how intense your client is or if there is a deadline which is tight. There is also a lot of independent learning but making sure you ask for help is a must.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Decent structure however it was harder with the online experience
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I was lucky and received great support from peers, however some haven't been as lucky. Its really dependent.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Decent
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Great help as I could apply my knowledge from my learning from first year
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Not much as it was online
