Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Day to day could include completing file reviews, working papers, running over financial statemenrs. A very hands on experience with everything, widening my knowledge of business and accounting itself.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme thoroughly, the people I work with make the business day pleasant as well as providing lots of opportunities to get involved socially outside of the work day.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Definitely, I understand the more than just the basics when it comes to my role, I have been abke to pick up knowledge from overhearing conversations or being a part of them myself.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme gives us time in between study and exams to ensure we are prepared. In addition to this there are drop in calls which allow us to raise any queries about our course which may not be answered by the pathway provided.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
When we need time to get ahead of revision, work are accomodating to ensure this is available, dedicated study days are provided so that we may take time off ahead of exams which doesn't use up annual leave.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Every day support is available if needed. We may use the training providers facility during weekend if we want a more quiet study area away from distractions at home
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel as though the training given by the provider is more based at getting us through the exams, I find that working day to day helps me perform at a greater effect in my role rather than studying.
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
Absolutely, every Monday after work there is a 5 a-side football you can attend. At the end of the work wee there is an opportunity to go out with some of your colleagues and enjoy a pint.
