1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I regularly look at the statements from suppliers and check if we have all the invoices to process. I also look at and create some of the reconciliations on the accounts so that we can look into differences and keep the accounts in order

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

The main skills that have been improving are my teamworking and problem solving skills as I have been shown the work that they do and then take on some of that work myself. I then need to liaise with them on work and ensure it is correct.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I do enjoy the work as it is straightforward to understand and complete. This also helps the learning of the theory and terminology as it is interesting to know and easy to learn.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The training provider has a clear roadmap set out that you can find regarding all parts of the apprenticeship, but they could be more transparent on where the information is and how it pertains to you in the beginning of the course.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

So far I have received as much support as I have needed from the employer regarding help, time for studying and extra internal support structures that I can use.

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

It will allow me to gain an understanding of the information that I am going through on a daily basis and will allow my understanding of other areas of work that I do not interact with currently.

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.)

There are many professional networking events that take place that I can join and learn from, regarding how to use business systems or learning about general working life.
