Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Completing bookkeeping, VAT returns, accounts and tax returns for clients.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoyed my apprenticeship, everyone was supportive.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, maths and english.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme was self study so an element to this was building on my own organisation skills. The modules were put in a helpful order and my tutor checked in with me regularly and marked my mock tests and portfolio.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
They were really good, whilst in work, I'd be given work specifically to try and help with the modules I was learning to strengthen my on-the-job experience and knowledge.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Great support in celebrating exam results and checking in regularly.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I would not be able to complete my work as I currently do without the apprenticeship.
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
The office is very social and there are always social activities going on. We also have a football team and compete against other professional firms in a league for charity.
