Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I am a senior associate on audits, which involves carrying out planning and test work, coaching junior team members, speaking to managers and partners about queries, and speaking to the client.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I do in general, every apprenticeship has good and bad points

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt so many skills since starting, I have a high level of ability in excel and my client communication, teamworking and coaching skills have improved a lot.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
For the first two years it was well organised, but as a higher level apprentice the guidance has dropped off
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I am neurodiverse and my employer has gone above and beyond to help me with this
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
Most of the tutors I would give a 10/10, but BPP are so chronically disorganised it is unbelievable. Half the time you don't get course dates, or they're wrong, or they don't send you materials or give you online access. Never seen such a poorly run organisation.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I am doing accountancy qualifications and I work in accountancy
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
Yes - lots of options and widely supported
