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

Yes. I picked up new technical skills and learned how to work in audit better.

10/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy it decently, however it can get tiring and repetitive. Luckily I have good people on my team that kept me engaged.

9/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is ok. There is often times you get allocated to short staffed teams or don't have a client because the resourcing has not been great, leaving you with too much work. Besides that it is pretty good.

Great support. I had issues at the start of my placement and got all the help I needed in great timing.

Yes, lots of socials each week you can attend with your team or social group.
