Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I work as part of a team doing external audits, specifically for industry PIE clients. I mostly do the audit fieldwork, along with some planning and completion.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the studying and training elements of the programme a lot - I am constantly learning new things and the materials are interesting. The daily work is good experience but is more focused towards corporate objectives than individual ones.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learned a lot of new skills specific to audit. I am required on most jobs to step into a more senior role and do more advanced work. My studies and exams have been very informative.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme is structured really well. I think the study, exams and training are scheduled in good time and fit well around busy times at work.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive sufficient support from my employer to complete my studies but it is not over and above my expectations.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The training provider is excellent and has been key in helping me to pass my exams.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The qualification has given me invaluable practical knowledge and helped me solve problems at work, suggest new ways to test things and identify any issues in good time.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are social and sports events but professional networking seems limited, we tend to socialise with colleagues of the same grade.
