Account Manage Review

I am an aviation account handler based in Chelmsford. My day to day role consits of managing my renewal book along with dealing with new enquiries. Towards to end of my apprenticeship, i have been allocated a charity to fundraise and raise awareness for, called out corporate social responsibility project.

Since joining Aon in September 2016, i feel that i have developed my communicational skills very well, especially via email and also verbally. I have expanded my knowledge on the Aviation industry and feel that in the last 12/14 months i have absorbed a lot of information.

I enjoy my job role and the apprenticeship very much. I feel that I am treated as a member of the team. The apprenticeship has given me confidence and knowledge development. I have engaged with my colleagues who are not in my division as a result of my apprenticeship programme which is great.

I feel very valued at Aon. I am included within the team meetings and have an opportunity to bring my own ideas to the table. Each apprentice is given their own work laptop and individual responsibility within their teams and alos, most importantly, the apprenticeship. We have weekly meetings with our apprenticeship groups to ensure everyone is keeping up to date.

I feel like my apprenticeship project is well structured. We are told well in advance when our training days are, the phone calls are booked in advance too to ensure all apprentices are free. We have a 12 week project towards the end of our apprenticeship, which was prepared and distrubted at the beginning of our apprenticeship. This is well structured and well organised.

I recevie a lot of training from our external training providers, the growth company. They ensure that all apprentices' have sufficient training and materials to complete the appreticeship. We are provided with the CII text books and also a lot of external training that consist of presentations and mock exams.

I feel that i receive a lot of support from my employers. I am offered study days for my exams as well as extra time during the week to revise or complete any documents for my apprenticeship. Within the team i receive plenty of guidance and mentoring from the senior members of the team.

I feel that my salary is very competite in comparison to other broking houses within the marketplace. We are offered competitive benefits within the company along with frequent team nights out. These evenings allow us as a team to engage on a social level.

Yes, i have made friends with many other apprentices and have socialised outside of working hours. My team and I regularly attend the local pub quiz, we interact with other employees from Aon and this is a great opportunity to network.
