  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I spend my time in a mixture of studying at times but mostly I spend my time performing accountancy admin tasks to clarify client information for accountants to perform their jobs. As well as submit VAT Returns and confirmations statements for businesses to Companies' House and His Majesties Revenue and Customs

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I had no prior skills in accountancy and since starting here I have in my own opinion flourished in a job in which I had no experience. The opportunities to develop my existing skills, such as math and English, have also improved exponentially.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy my current course as a whole although the amount of information can be daunting at times it's not hard to take a moment and approach it from another angle making it easier to interpret.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I receive a lot of support from my employer through monthly 1-1 meetings to discuss how the prior week has gone and what I felt could be improved on. When working if there are any parts I am unsure of, my managers always take a minute to see what the issue is and help me work out the issue.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Through studying with the training provider I am able to get a more whole picture of what accountancy is and what my job, once training is completed, will be like. It really helps bring a real sense of the role I am aiming towards.
