Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role includes communicating with clients and advising them on their insurances placed with us, it also involves meeting and communicating with insurers to place the insurance and search for quotations.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the work aspect of the programme a lot and felt I received a great level of support throughout. However, I found the studying aspect of the apprenticeship was stressful.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed my knowledge within insurance massively and created good internal/ external work relationships in the process.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Our early careers team was well structured and easily accessible if we ever needed help.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive a very good level of support from my managers and the early careers team at Aon.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
I feel Davies could have supported more at certain points of the programme as myself and other apprentices often felt stressed by the level of studying required on top of our full-time jobs. Furthermore, I often felt that I struggled to feel comfortable communicating these issues with Davies.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The exams I completed throughout my apprenticeship helped me develop my knowledge in insurance and therefore helped me to understand my role better.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
I occasionally attend social events with work.
