Mainly internal audit based, occasionally advisory and controls work. Booked to different clients in all different sectors.
Definitely developed by Excel skills as i've had to work a lot with large data sets. Improved my communication skills as i'm involved in talking to clients on a daily basis.
At times the programme can be tough because balancing worklife and exams can be quite stressful. However, overall i've quite enjoyed the programme and I feel i've learnt a lot from it.
It's very structured, as soon as you join the programme all exams have been mapped out for the three years.
I receive a lot of support from the employer, the firm is very understanding during exam periods and they are understand that exams take a priority over work.
I receive a substantial amount of support, the provider organises calls every 6 months to check in on me and provide me with any additional guidance or support I may need.
Overall, I don't think the qualification helps in my role very much however, I have learnt a lot from undertaking it.
N/A
Yes
