Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Supervisor audit jobs and manage clients, whilst helping juniors and completing my own work. Mostly company statutory audits
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
It is mixed, some days better then others. It is a high stress job, which can be a lot at time, but I do generally enjoy the work.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I am much better at teaching others and have gained alot of confidence when dealing with professional people
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Fairly well structured, I know roughly when all my exams will be for the entire programme.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive as much support as any employee would, and a decent amount of time off to study. It would be nice for it to be more, so I felt more confident about the exams.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Paid time off for study and the exams, which is very nice, however doing two exams at once sometimes feels like unnecessary stress
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Some of the exams link better then others, but that is the nature of ACA. I have utilised college at work fairly often
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are, they vary in quality, and more often then not they involve drinking which isn't great for everyone.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend RSM to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It has it's problems, but it you want to study ACA, and get thrown into the deep end to learn quickly, it's a decent place to start
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to RSM?
Be prepared for the amount of work it is, and just be ready to feel like you don't know what you are doing for ages. You'll figure it out
