Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

It is a very interesting facility to work in, and no two days are the same. You are constantly learning.

I have been on multiple courses developing auditing skills, communication skills and risk management knowledge.

Both the university side and placement side of the degree are well structured.

There are many things in place to ensure you are fully supported. We have regular check ins with our coaches and the company itself has many in house benefits in place to ensure you are supported with personal and professional issues.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

The tutors offer regular drop-ins, and make it known that their inbox is always open should you require extra assistance or if you have any queries.

The modules we study at university can immediately be put into practice on the placement.
