Apprentice Review

My role is to carry out admin tasks and simple accounting work. My day to day role would be ticking certain documents and checking many other documents. I prepare excel documents and gain information to complete them.

Communication Excel knowledge Client interaction Organisational skills (existing) punctuality (existing)

I enjoy my programme at a medium level. I feel the apprenticeship was not advertised correctly and was misleading. This is because to rotate as a 360 it is extremely difficult to get to the departments you wish to work in.

The programme is organised at a poor level. The rotating seems to be more of a pain for other teams and for yourself than it is worth. My Performance Manager can not properly maintain knowledge of my performance and does not sit in on my BPP calls.

Educational support is fantastic with numerous resources to hand. However, the support from my PM is very limited as I have been told from her replies are very slow as she has a lot of apprentices to be PM for. For me personally this is not a reason.

Extensive support from my training provider. BPP are excellent in giving such support and I feel I have everything I need for my exams.

My qualification helps me to gain a better understanding of the work I am doing.

There are so many extra activities to get involved in. KPMG really thrive with the social side of the apprenticeship.

Yes

Because it is a great way to gain strong work experience while gaining qualification. I would not recommend the 360 apprenticeship but to work at KPMG is a good opportunity.

Speak to current employees if you can to gain a true understanding of the role you are applying as it may not be what it first seems.
