Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Day to day i am involved in the audit of numerous insurance companies - this involves checking the figures that they are stating in their annual accounts are true and fair. Therefore it involves a lot of testing of supporting evidence to confirm the balances are correct.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The main joy of the work is the people you work with. The work can become repetitive and sometimes less enjoyable however I work with many like minded individuals my age who are going through exams with me and this makes it truly fun.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt lots of skills including analytical skills, professional scepticism, time manatement, people management
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is very well organised and structured with everything set out for us so we only book our exams, the rest is done for us
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
We receive a generous amount of support from our employer, however occasionally queries can be dealt with slowly which can be frustrating.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
BPP have been excellent in providing an adequate amount of support to us - the tutors all go above and beyond to help us. Sometimes the marking team can let us down in terms of providing very little feedback on our mocks which is vital for us getting better.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The qualification helps in every way to perform better in the role. without it i would not have progressed how I have.
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
There are numerous social events and sports teams - it really is a choice to pick your favourite since there are so many
