Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Currently in a placement in Private Client tax where i am talking to clients and completing tax returns for clients. I have worked in audit for a year making workpapers and have been given a lot of responsibilities for both these placements.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the programme but there is a lot of stress and I do not feel that the apprenticeship team support as much as they could. But the placements I have been in the teams are kind and I love the variety of work.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
There are lots of internal training courses available which I have been able to utilise, I am also completing AAT Level 4.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
I have found that this year has not been very structured and there has been very little support with all the pressures of the past year.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
1/5
I find that the Managers I work with in the teams I have had placements in are always very supportive but the apprenticeship team I have found to give very little support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I get lots of support when behind on where I need to be on the apprenticeship and are always there if I need support with something.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel that if gives me a more indepth understanding of the tasks that I complete from doing the exams that relate to the tasks.
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
Due to covid there has not been much available.
