Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Pwerforming reviews of client's accounts, completing and submitting VAT returns, Confirmation statements and other various tasks needed to submit tax and accounts
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Very much so, I'm regularly learning new skills/information and my teachers provide well structured and informative lessons.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Excel skills have greatly increased, and my time management skills have certainly improved. A regular 9-5 has also taught me discipline and good teamwork, as my colleagues rely on me to complete various tasks.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Well organised, regular lessons on Monday mornings are just the right length for me to maintain concentration throughout and my teachers regularly provide 1 to 1 meetings discussing my progress, and how well my apprenticeship is going.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Lots of support. I am allowed a good, significant portion of dedicated time to revise/consolidate my learning, and my manager is helpful and very open. My work also relates heavily to my apprenticeship learning which helps a lot.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a reasonable level of support. I have many learning resources available to me, mock tests etc. My teacher provides me with lots of example exam questions and is responsive when contacted.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel the learning on my apprenticeship helps me to better understand the tasks I perform at my job. Similarly, the tasks I perform at work are essential in consolidating my apprenticeship learning. They work well to support each other in tandem.
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
Already at my company (I've been there 4 months) there have been 2 major social events. There are hikes, bingo nights, bar nights etc. Christmas parties are coming up later in the year, so yes, I would agree that extra-curricular activities are more than adequate at my work.
