I have developed my communication skills and also my confidence. I have learnt to speak up and ask questions whenever in doubt.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

My qualification and training helps me to perform better in my role through teaching me standard practices and the principles of accounting.

There are a wide range of extra curricular activities I can get involved in. There are plenty of Stretch activities and teams I could join such as hiking or climbing.
