  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Bpp are good at providing the course content and they tend to schedule extra revision sessions and drop ins if you are struggling with anything.

    7/10

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Becoming a chartered accountant is very useful for my day to day role because we often review valuations for financial reporting purposes - e.g. provisions so if we didn't have the accounting knowledge it would be harder.

  • Yes I am part of two sports teams at EY and we also have networking events with other teams in the business.
