Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Completing audit work. Participating in team meetings. Picking samples. Documenting evidence onto the audit file. Helping other team members with their work.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoyed this programme as I met a variety of different people and was able to travel to the London office and work there for 4 weeks which was a positive experience

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I am a lot more confident in completing work on my own to a high standard. I am also able to speak up more in team meetings or client meetings. I know how to complete a variety of tests to a good standard without asking for any help.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme has a good structure, sometimes I feel like I could have more structure when on a job but every job is different and everyone works differently. Also being put on jobs for a week and then changing to another job isn't too helpful for my personal development
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
There is plenty of support and everyone is really willing to help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We have lots of support while at uni and again everyone is willing to help
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My qualification gives me the background information that I need to perform in my daily 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.)
4/5
Yes there are many social events and clubs to join
