  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Have been at college for most of the last three months studying to be ICAS qualified. When in the office I have mostly been supporting others with their work and doing admin type tasks, whilst trying to gain a greater understanding of tax and the way the company operates in general.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes plenty of new skills. I have learnt masses from college, and then feel like I learn something new every day at work. Furthermore, I have learnt general office skills such as excel and other similar programs, as well as how to use more specific software for my role only.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Pretty good support - although in my opinion too much of the teaching is provided online which makes it more difficult.

    6/10

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • It helps a lot. Before I joined I had no relevant knowledge, so learning at college has made working possible.

  • 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.)
  • Yes - there are networks, sports clubs and socials. The networks and sports clubs tend to be more prevalent in London.
