I have enjoyed working in a dynamic working environment and learning new skills such as project management. However, as I progressed the working hours are much longer and it can be hard to manage my time between finishing work responsibilities and studying

Very well organised, Mazars work hard to ensure the pathway for exams and studying is available many months in advance
