My role was as an auditor. As I was in 3rd year I joined as an AS2 so I mainly worked through testing FSLIs and coaching occasionally.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

We do get a lot of support from our uni, occasionally we have a bad lecturer, but I feel as though everyone gets this. On all the modules involving the ACA however our lecturers have been amazing

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Massively, having done now 12 of my 15 ACA exams, I felt a lot more confident and knowledgeable throughout this placement. Being able to apply your knowledge in the real world is also a huge help

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

We have loads of socials and also a lot of social clubs to get involved in. Unfortunately, only joining for 3 months a year (during busy season) it is a bit harder to get involved but once we join permanently there's a lot available
