I run and make automation tools to assist with audit
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the balance of work life and university life

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I have developed my skill using SQL and Javascript as well as learn to use new software such as Alteryx

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme is organised reasonable well, however I am only in their second intake so I think it is getting better. The main issue I see is finding teams for apprentices to work in that will interest them
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Lots of the support while I am working for them, not so much while at university
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We get weekly emails and have a termly meeting with them while at university but the support doesn't go much further than that
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The programming we learn as part of the degree has definitely helped me to perform better in my team
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Not so much to be honest, however I have been able to make lots of new friends on my intake
