Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Liase with management on engagements and ensure documents are accurate and perform testing.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Very much so, the people, company and work are all very nice and enjoyable.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I have learnt how to use many new applications, I have also recently passed my first level 3 AAT exam.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very good, there are tutors and online support if you feel that you are not understanding the content. Everything that you need to carry out is well structured in order for you to complete the learning before your exam.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
They allocate study days and managers are understanding of studying qualifications on the side. They are also there to help you in day to day audit tasks as they understand you are new to the role and don't expect you to know everything in the first few months.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Lots, I have already commented on this.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It helps gain industry specific knowledge and helps me understand general financial information to a better extent.
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
Usually team, department and apprentice socials. Christmas social was also very good.
