Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Since starting in January 2024, I have now learnt how to complete and file VAT Returns as well as confirmation statements. I also call HMRC to quickly receive information on clients to help the qualified accountants and I am now starting training soon to handle calls with clients.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme as it ensures a healthy work-life balance and ensures I come across challenges I can overcome and learn from, under pressure to gain deeper knowledge.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Many new skills that I wouldn't have gained in a classroom setting such as teamwork, building professional relationships to help complete tasks efficiently as well as speaking skills etc.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Highly organised with set meetings in place to raise any questions, having unlimited support with questions regarding my apprenticeship from my place of work as well as my learning provider is really beneficial.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot of support in helping me face my own questions and pushing me to use my gained knowledge to answer these.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
A lot, an email aways open to questions as well as in person/teams meetings to review progress if aappreciated. The pointing out of areas I am succeeding and areas which need to be revised to ensure I don't make the same mistakes is highly beneficial.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It helps a lot as my qualification and job are closely intertwined ensuring that not only my work is beneficial for my apprenticeship but vice versa is brilliant.
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
Many, right now for the month of may we have had a month challenge for which team can get the most steps in to win a team prize as well as individual challenges and programmes in place to reward positive feedback.
