Finance higher apprentice Review

So my role changes every 6 months to give us the most exposure to different areas working within accounting, from invoices to governance to working alongside projects. So depending on which area I am working in my day to day work can be totally different.

I have definitely become more confident within my work and I am now able to understand actually accounting issues and how to fix them. My knowledge has become a lot better. I have also passed 4 exams so far and we do regular training courses inside the business.

I enjoy everything about my role as it changes every 6 months I get to meet loads of new people and work in totally different teams. The company culture is also really good as everyone has a good work ethic but also gives time for your own mental heath as working from home.

From the induction at the start of my scheme was well structed but very long. There is lots of training throughout the whole course. I would say the scheme is well organised such as with the support.

I have a lot of support from my placement manager, my scheme manager, skills coach, team members and mentor. There is a huge variety of people I can go to for support.

So there's lot of ways to get support from them such as with live online chat, emails of tutors and other support teams on the online systems we use for our studies. They are really helpful whenever you need it and get back to a question very quickly. I also enjoy the context I cover.

So it depends on what area I'm working in. Because each topic I cover in my studies relates to a different business area. Sometimes they match up and others times they don't. This is due to the topics in the course being such a wide variety also there's no job which would cover all the areas.

There is always something new coming through my emails to get involved in. At least once a week there's something new. I have done volunteering work, taken tours, organised events such as bake sales and driving to different sites in the business with a team of people.

Yes

There are so many different things to get involved in and the work place is a good place to work. I feel confident and happy within each job role. We do get worked hard but that is also benefited from the pay.

Research everything you can about the company they love that. Be confident in what you say and do and show you are willing to be involved or take charge of an action.
