Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Improved communication skills and report writing skills. Developed a better understanding of financial services industry and different areas within the business, through conducting various audits.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Programme structure is clear, with monthly assignments to complete.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Huge amounts of support from employer. Receive 1 study day per week to focus on apprenticeship work and my line manager is always eager to assist in any way he can.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Communication can be a bit slow, however all queries do get resolved in the end and they are very understanding.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
The qualification doesn't help me perform better in my role. It asks me to evidence work that I have done in my role, so in a way it compounds any skills I have gained through my role, but does not provide me with any new skills.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Many. There is always things going on.
