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

On a day to day basis I help my London brokers with tasks such as producing legal documents, finding information on Reinsurers and data analysis.

9/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I've learnt a lot about team work which was an existing skill. New skills involve things such as; laws involving insurance, Reinsurance as a business, London markets.

8/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I've not enjoyed the programme. It was advertised as a very appealing scheme, but since I joined it's been a disappointment and lacked a lot of support and organisation.

2/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The structure has strict time frames, which don't cater to everyone's needs. If you fail 1 exam, you are still enrolled on to a new syllabus even though you have one outstanding. This causes a car crash of events and leads to multiple failures due to not being able to organise / put your time in to 1 exam at a time.

2/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

The employer has made efforts to help me with my studies by guiding me in the direction of experienced colleagues, however I haven't had my 80/20 % at all.

2/10

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

The training provider gives sessions, which have been somewhat beneficial, however the gaps between the sessions were long periods of time and often the sessions felt like they weren't as useful as my own study time could have been; due to my preferred way of studying being solo.

2/10

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

The qualification does help me with my role. It is very insurance based and a lot of what I've learnt does come in helpful on a day to day basis.

5/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are currently no extra activities.

1/10

9a. Would you recommend WTW to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

It's a very good company to work for, I'd recommend them to join but I wouldn't recommend that they join the apprentice programme.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to WTW?

Research a lot in to your role beforehand
