In terms of support towards exams / apprenticeship there is definitely room for improvement ie slow communication from relevant help team, and often giving incorrect help

When in person I feel it is very good, much easier to ask questions / clarify things

I feel like there has been very little that has translated over from AAT qualifications into my role
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
Yes there are lots of opportunities - something for everyone
Not very social amongst teams in the office though - lots just keep to themselves
