Very well structured, we are provided with a course programme with clear dates and courses are automatically booked for us and planned well in advance. They make sure they order course materials ie books, folders, question banks to be sent to home addresses prior to studies starting and making sure we are well equipped for the studies ahead,

I receive alot of support form the employer ie if i have an exam they would let me finish at 5pm so i can carry out my revision in evenings also able to provide us with study/ annual leave ahead of our exams to have ample time to revise regardless of client commitments and understand that our exams are first priority.

They provide direct access to a 24 7 hub whereby we can ask questions and normally have a next day turn around for our queries. They are regularly monitiored and have a quick turn around overall. They have tutors email addresses for us to reach out to for any direct queries and they always help and go above and beyond to make sure they address our query.

The exams are very relevant for my role and they provide technical knowledge which i can implement in my day to day work and improves my understanding overall. They teach relevant topics which tie in with daily tasks which ultimately help my overall progress in the field and industry of work.

great place to work with promising future prospects and providing a strong background in the financial sector which is more valuable than anything. Teaches you key techniques on how to operate effectively and promotes inclusivity whereby everyone is treated equally and fairly regardless of their beliefs, colour or religion. It is a meritocracy where people are rewarded for their actions when they do good.

understand the role you are applying for and research the nature of daily tasks that will be required of you. Understand the work is intense but with it being the big 4 it is to be expected and in order to work with the best you need to perform at your best so making sure you give 100% commitment
