Flying Start Degree Program, FS1, Newcastle office Review

I worked on multiple clients, being able to visit client site regularly. I was given a range of tasks across different FSLIs, increasing in complexity as my placement went on, being coached through everything very effectively.

I learned a lot through my placement, my technical understanding of audit has improved massively. Aside from this, I've developed other skills and attributes, such as my communication skills through talking to clients frequently, and my knowledge of excel, in order to work more efficiently.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement, and will be looking forward to coming back next year. I wouldn't have anything bad to say about my experience at all, I learned a lot, and everyone that I worked with were brilliant.

It was very organised through most of the placement. Towards the end, resourcing became a slight issue, leaving me unbooked to a specific client for a couple of weeks, but despite this I was still provided lots of work, so it didn't affect me extremely negatively overall.

I learned a lot. I understand the culture a lot better, and can see that socially, the office seems very close. I think in the short time we were there, I was brought into the social bubble very effectively also.

I think that it's given me a much greater understanding of the office culture and the job role, so has definitely helped me in deciding what I want to achieve in the future.

Yes, I think it was fair payment.

Definitely, I have really enjoyed the social aspect of my placement.

Yes

Great environment to learn and develop, and great social environment.

Be enthusiastic and open to learning, and everyone will be happy to coach and work with you.
