Overview of Role

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

5/5

Throughout my apprenticeship I have rotated around our different Finance teams and spent several months in each team. This gave me an overview of how finance contributes to the wider business, and allowed me to see which areas of finance interest me the most,

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I very much enjoy working at Tui, and plan to stay here after my apprenticeship is completed. I enjoy the work environment, everyone is very kind and helpful.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have learnt how to use Excel formulas, how to raise journals, how to respond to professional emails. I have also learnt soft skills such as communication and teamwork, as well as learning the basic accounting principles and how they apply to real life work.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

Very well organised. I spend 18 months in a Finance role and 18 months in an Accounting role, whilst studying for L3 and L4 AAT.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I have always received time and space to study and revise whenever I need it.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

First Intuition is very supportive and has lots of resources to help, such as tutors, online videos, mock exams that are marked by tutors etc.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

Learning the basic accounting principles such as debits and credits has helped me massively in my role and made me able to raise journals fluently.

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

There are social events, such as nights out, and winter/summer briefings where the entire Finance department (300+ people) gets together for an overview of Tui's performance recently. This is often followed by drinks/dinner, and in summer we have a sports day.
