Flying Start Degree programme-Placement 1- Leeds Review

I am expected to assist the team on various client jobs. Most days I am assigned a task and recieve coaching for it, so that I can complete it seamlessly. I approach my coach for advise before completing the task and saving my progress. I worked on tasks such as testing and documenting samples and documenting various audit evidences.

Yes I was able to develop my excel skills and also learnt how to communicate with clients

It was very enjoyable, I was able to learn a lot in the span of a few weeks. The office would organize socials and treat us on occasions, which made it easier to network with colleagues.

We are assigned a buddy, a career coach, and a pairing who is on the job with us from the beginning to end of placement. the teams I have worked with were also very supportive.

Yes

Its a great opportunity to complete a university degree and also gain work experience before graduation. We receive free accommodation and also a reduction in fees once we begin placements. The course provides the best of both worlds- a university experience and work experience.

Make sure to be confident in your interviews and take initiative when assigned a task in the group assessment stage.
