Audit Apprentice Review

Working in NM audit so spend my days doing audit work for various clients, working alongside a team.

Yes - developed much more confidence, especially to ask for help. Also feel I am continually learning new things about audit methodology and standard practices.

Really enjoy the program - think the experiences are invaluable meanwhile you have the opportunity to make contacts and earn a salary at such a young age. I think this is much more valuable than a university degree.

The departmental aspect is very organised however there has been several issues in the past with PQA regarding information communication, response rates and exam bookings so I think this needs to be focused on as these complaints have been mentioned for years now.

Receive a lot of support between my department people leader/performance manager and then additional support from apprenticeship team and BPP staff.

High level of support provided from BPP - detailed tuition, extensive notes and lots of question practice (including achievement ladder steps) have been very beneficial to exam success so far.

The content is very relevant to my daily job which helps when working and also helps with regards to revision.

Yes - ordinarily there are plenty of social events (pre-Covid) and various virtual attempts to encourage colleague interaction.

Yes

Invaluable experience which provides great career opportunities.

Believe in yourself and put a lot of effort into preparing for the interview. Must act mature and set yourself up well for entering the professional working world.
