  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Purchase ledger clerk, mainly inputting invoices onto the kerridge system and reconciling supplier statements. I dealt with supplier queries over email and telephone to ensure invoices were paid on time. I would completely fortnightly payment runs as well as manual payments on a daily basis.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have developed existing skills such as creating excel spreadsheets. Previous to this course, I had achieved an A in Business at A Levels, so was pretty clued up on most aspects of business.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I thought the programme was good, I had an excellent relationship with my tutors. It was just unfortunate for me that I had already completed business at A levels to a high standard so found a lot of the knowledge a little easy.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Can’t fault the structure of my programme provided by LSP. My experience with JCT600 and the apprenticeship wasn’t as great, they don’t seem interested in your apprenticeship at all or even know that you’re still doing it.

    9/10

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • As previously answered, there was little to no support from my employer. Luckily I have a supportive supervisor (who is also completing an apprenticeship with LSP). Apart from this, I have had no support from the company.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • LSP have been great with support, sending learning materials when needed and provided lots of useful feedback to help me achieve the best out of my apprenticeship.

    10/10

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I have learnt some new things that are beneficial for my role, however being a purchase ledger, I felt an accounting programme would have been more suited rather than business administration.

    6/10

  • 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.)
  • No. Nothing

    1/10

  • 9a. Would you recommend JCT600 to a friend?
  • No


  • 9b. Why?
  • Work atmosphere is terrible, no support when you need it. They aren’t interested in your apprenticeship, only interested if you’re completing AAT.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to JCT600?
  • Use them for everything you can get, you can get some good experience from JCT600, and then find an accounting centre that appreciates you and your efforts.
