Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Whilst in audit, this generally involves calls with management to allocate tasks and catch ups with other members of the team. Daily tasks could include: testing invoices, testing bank reconciliations.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the people I work with and the variety of work I do.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes absolutely - especially communication with both clients and colleagues. My analytic thinking has also improved whilst being able to complete tasks under pressure.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The structure of the programme is great, however there have been some interruptions with the organisation of the programme.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Support it always there if needed - it is easy to reach out to someone and speak up.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
BPP have a great training programme, however after the initial college, support is not as strong and the only way to contact tutors/ask questions is through email.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It highly depends on the department you are in - in some situations e.g. audit, the qualifications give a necessary background knowledge.
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, I am part of social committees and netball teams
