Yes my excel skills have improved massively while on placement in addition to my networking skills.

The programme has been extremely enjoyable as it has mixed in University learning with on the job experience. My responsibility even as an FS1 is very important in terms of contributing to the firm wide audit goals.

The programme is extremely well structured as once you complete you semester 2 university exams you come straight into the workplace where you can utilise that learning on audit engagements. The structure of the placement as a whole was extremely well done.
