Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Auditing the financial statements of clients (private and public).
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
It's fantastic, the social side has still been great, despite being in lockdown. PwC have tried really hard to keep us involved but it also hasn't seemed like they've had to try, it's all been very natural.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Excel and personable skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very well, the PQ pathway is set out and we know when exams are and when we are working.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Loads! We have a buddy, a career coach and managers for the jobs we are on - support from every direction!
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Kaplan teach us the content and the tutors are fantastic.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
100% - without knowing the different things across the exams, I would be lost in a lot of the work I do.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Loads! There are lots of committees e.g. social, D&I, wellbeing, CSR and you can get involved in anything you put your hand up for!
