Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I audit company accounts to help the team give an opinion on these. My day to day role includes testing certain areas of their financial data.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy the learning and study programmes I have with BPP - these have helped me massively in my role. I also really enjoy the support I get from individuals at Mazars to help me grow.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt a lot of new skills and developed existing ones. When I started this apprenticeship I had no background in finance. BPP and Mazars have helped me to learn quickly and supported me doing this.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
This programme is generally well structured. There has been good communication between BPP and myself. The quality of the programme at BPP is also excellent.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive a lot of support from individuals within my team. I also think that the company supports people in general well. To improve I feel that more study days would be brilliant, as at the moment the time is not enough to cover the full content, let alone revise.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The support from the training provider is really good. They supply good quality materials to learn from. The best thing about BPP is the staff and tutors there - all of them are really helpful, supportive and knowledgeable.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I couldn't agree with this more - I have learnt so much from my qualification so far that helps me in my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes there are a lot of social activities and sports activities. I was made to feel included from the moment I joined and have found the social team really proactive in getting things organised.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Forvis Mazars to a friend?
