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

I am a first year so am yet to go on placement. My first year has been just like a normal students in that we have lectures, seminars and workshops throughout the whole year. The only contact we've had from PwC is an office speed dating session to help choose our office and weekly skills sessions where we developed areas such as team work and IT skills

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

We're hopefully going to be exempt from a few ICAEW ACA exams by the end of the year. I've learnt a lot about the law which I previously had little knowledge of and have also had a lot of focus centred around my financial and management accounting skills.

10/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The programme is great, we have a reasonably tight nit group within the course so there's always a friendly face at a lecture or someone to walk to the lecture theatre with.

4. How valued do you feel by PwC?

[This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] who run's the skills sessions has been very fun to work with, the fact that PwC have sent someone in to develop our skills prior to placement makes me feel valued. We also get free ICAEW books from them which is always a bonus!

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

I haven't received any money yet but from what we'e been told about placement it looks like the money will be more than sufficient. This year i've probably saved around £140 on books which PwC have paid for which has been helpful.
