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

My role involves working closely with clients to ensure that we provide a good level of customer service and therefore will allow the renewal process to have a good transition. I have had to learn about the insurance industry and the process we need to undertake for a renewal for the year.

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

I have learnt many new skills, as this is a brand new industry to me and never worked in it myself before. I have also developed on skills that have been transferable from jobs that I have had before and I have been able to develop on them more too.

I have endless support from my manager and team as a whole, they have been really supportive especially with me being brand new to the role.The accessibility of the support is crucial for me and has been there throughout!

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

My tutor has been excellent and my training provider too, I have had to switch coaches though and have not yet been contacted by Davies or my new coach? Therefore I am having to reach out myself. The accessibility for support though has been amazing. I have overall enjoyed doing the apprenticeship too.

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

My training provider has really allowed me to succeed within my role at Aon, this is due to the fact that I have had to train and study the industry as part of my apprenticeship. I have learnt so much and developed alot into my role and in the apprenticeship itself.

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 loads on activities that Aon provide, in terms of Christmas events and actiities- there are social events all the time and clubs and gatherings we can join in the most various of meetings. When I am not working I am keeping my body fit and healthy by homeworkouts.

9a. Would you recommend Aon to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I would recommend Aon to a friend because everyone has been so friendly anfd lovely despite working from home. The insurance industry is so interesting and enlightening and therefore I want other people to witness this and I wish it was more easily accessible for everyone. So yes I would recommend.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aon?

In terms of the application process keep your mind wide open and honestly think for the best in terms of succeeding. The assessment day I didn't do as I done it at home, but keep focused and don't stress about it and do what you can do in the time.
