Yes I have learnt how to work with people from a different country as they have different ways of completing activates and I have adapted to this.

The progreamme is structured very well, with regular meetings to assess our completion and see if we are facing any barriers.

Fidelity provide a lot of support as we have a mentor and a buddy that we can have regular meetings with, also we have calls at the beginning and end of the week to address any problems we have and see if we are working alright.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Since i have only just started my qualification, it is hard to give a good verdict on this, however, when we did start we had a call with our skills coach
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It has given me a greater understand of the finance part of my role
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
Yes, even though we are working from home, so it is hard to have these activites, there are some that are being put in place over zoom, which has really eased everyone with the workload
