Actuarial Technician Review

On a day to day basis at Aon, It is a changin environment, as an Actuarial technician your role includes doing calculations as well as supporting other teams this can range from using excel models to problme solving to simple admin stuff. I really enjoy working at aon as it motivates me day on day.

I have learnt some modelling skills, time management and meeting deadlines. Also communication effectively. In terms of development my understanding of pensions and how they work has increased a vast amount from starting. Another skill of mine which has developed is accuracy within calculations. This is key for the role at aon.

I really enjoy it my programme at Aon. Its a fast moving envrionment very different to any other you can think off. Working with different people on different cases each day it never getss dull or boring. The exam structure is also very good and there is a lot of support for studying.

As mentioned above i fell it is structured really well and i think the support available is amazing within the office and outside. You are given a mentor who will do frequent catch ups with you and ensure you are on top of all things. I really enjoy it and think its structured very well.

In terms of support it is very good. You get Study days for each exam. Regular manager catch ups it is all really good. Also your mentor is available for additonal support to your employer in case of any struggles. Your collegues at Aon are usually very helpful too due to the ethos implemented at aon.

Study days, materials and on this programme you are given time in the office to do toawrds your programme: this can be learning, studying, revising or comeplteing log tasks. You also have the opportunity to resit exams so there is also flexibilty in the programme. Aon does support you to develop and acheive your qualification.

I feel it helps in the sense of understanding what you are doing and understanding the calculations and work youre undertaking. It also makes you motivated to ensure you are doing things correctly. However I feel the first exam of this module is pointless as your a level results should reflect in this.

At my office there area many extra curricular activites. We have a football night where the office has a kickabout. A social committee for the whole office which arranges things like pancake days and other activites also we have another team which plans social outgoings for each team such as bowling etc.

It is an enjoyable work place where you don't feel like OMG i have work tomorrow. The people you meet are enthusiastic and there are many opportunities to develop and strive in your role. The support is fantastic and will help you as much as you need it, Aon is an amazing place to work.
