Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Work with another business to check what their financial position is whilst checking many other documents to see if they are well regulated and not breaking any laws.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I think the course is challenging but extremely rewarding, you have to be really disciplined with yourself to make sure you set time aside for exams as you are also working. But everyone is extremely lovely and creates a great environment to work in.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
My excel and computer skills have increased massively whilst also being able to calculate sums a lot quicker than before.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
There is a lot of support and training for these courses it is thought out really well. There is a lot of support from colleagues as many have done the same and they are always there to help and make sure you finish at 5 to go and study.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My counsellor has been really helpful with this process and so has my client managers and colleagues, it was sometimes hard to get in touch with the student team when i did need help but it was a shared mailbox.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
the tutors at Kaplan are always there to help is get through the course and provide a lot of support if we come to them with help and they will help us understand this a lot better.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The work is a lot more understandable as you learn more as it can easily be applied to the work you complete. And now i feel i can complete my role to a higher standard.
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
For the socials that have happened i have been to pretty much all of them, but because of lockdown that has become very hard, but outside of work i have enjoyed my cricket on the weekend.
