Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I usually work on what more senior members of the team send onto me, this usually is drafting letters for HMRC, filling out and sending forms, doing more basic admin work, filling out tax computations and completing spreadsheets with figures received from around the business.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love it, I never thought I'd end up in this industry within finance, but it's really nice and every day brings something different to work on.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I've gotten more proficient with Microsoft Office, and learned how to use basic tax software. I also have improved my teamwork skills and eye for detail
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It's great, the other people in the team know about my study days in advance and don't send me work on those days, and they've also taken the qualification before so they know what's going on.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer gives me the right days off, my colleagues are willing to tutor me for difficult questions, and I've been told to take as much time as I need to study before exams as long as I have no urgent pending work
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training provider is great, and just today solved a query for me in under an hour that was causing a bit of stress for me and my manager in terms of study days
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I've learned a lot of stuff that I use on a regular basis at work, so really well, and everything is structured similarly
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, there are societes to get involved in, and the apprentices are regularly involved in greeting new apprentices or going to career events. There are also volunteer days
