  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role is to work with colleagues to complete audits and pass my exams - as the exam periods are in blocks day to day it is mostly working on tasks in excel or documenting work sent from the client etc.

    8/10

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I've become more confident and communicative - I've also gotten much better at studying, managing time during the exam periods

    8/10

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy the task I work on, being involved in several companies and learning how they operate - free lunch/ coffee culture is also good

    6/10

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Unfortunately not well. despite having a structured periods for exams this is the only area organised. I had a lot of trouble with my travels ( as being 16 there were issues with hotels allowing me to stay etc but nobody thought of this despite it being a school leaver programme)to Manchester which weren't informed to me until 2 days before and booked till the day before - lack of prep time for exams and internal training haphazardly placed between key study time

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • the only support I have been given is from charismatic colleges who helped off their own sense of duty there was zero support from the company itself - sometimes they are actually quite threatening about finding out if works not being done and letting people go etc.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Some. was very helpful in the classroom however there was little after that but helpful tests throughout

    5/10

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Somewhat ive only done on exam so theres not alot that relates so far

    4/10

  • 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.)
  • None that i can attend as they are drinking parties (or i can attend and only drink coke) - again not ideal for aa school leaver programme

    3/10
