Overview of Role

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

5/5

Working in audit and accounts involves high levels of communication with colleagues and clients.
I analyse data and sometimes present my findings to others, or detail the results in paper documentation.
I also take part in local community events as a representative for my company raising money for local charities.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I enjoy learning and being able to link this to my role.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have developed my communications skills over many platforms even being a panelist on a webinar to secondary schools in Hertfordshire. This has therefore helped to develop my presentation skills.
I have increased my time management skills as we have deadlines to work on as a team and therefore need work together to achieve the task.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

My programme is well structured with both tuition and revision courses. There is always on going support outside of these weeks if required.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

My employer is always around to support my skills and knowledge development. They offer help with my studies as well as providing on the job training.

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

5/5

I have both tuition and revision courses, quarterly review meetings and know who to call if I ever require help. They also offer ongoing development through podcasts and news letter to talk about real world situations.

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

5/5

I have learnt the foundation of my role through my qualification and have then been able to apply this to my day to day role. As my qualifications have furthered I have been able develop a higher level of understanding and sue this to explain client queries also.

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

I frequently attend professional networking events as well as organising them. I take part in community events in the local community on behalf of my employers and have taken part in charity sport events run by my training provider.
