Apprentice Review

In my role i work on the pro rata team for europe and i am being taught everything there is to know about pro rata while also processing accounts on a daily basis. I am given many different accounts to process whether thats treaty accounts or cash losses i do anything that can help the team

I have learnt many new skills and also developed a lot of skills whether it may be more technical or more of a physical skill as i have developed my team work skills from the day i have started while also learning lots of new skill everyday using the sytems while work.

The program is really good as i think it is a very friendly environment especially with the other apprentices as we all get along and do a lot of team building activities. I also think that the direct management is really helpful as my boss is there to help at any time needed.

Overall there is full structure of what is needed in the apprenticeship and the steps that are taken are quite detailed month to month through the outside program, however i would say that there has been times where a few of the steps are a little complicated or confusing regarding the tasks near end of the apprenticeship.

My manager is great at helping with as much as he can when we need it which helps us develop our knowledge within the company while also helping us to pass our exams, we have regular meetings as a team and individually to ensure everything is going well and to see if there is anything needed to help us in the future.

My coach reviews all of my work and gives feedback on whether it fit the criteria needed to be met or if there is a few more things needed to be added which is a lot of help for the davies activities. where as for the CII qualification there are a few things that are given to us like videos and seminars to watch but the main revision is done by my manager.

There is alot of external work that needes to be completed for the apprenticeship which i thnk can be alot sometimes however the books that we have to read to complete our exams are very benificial as it gives us a much better understanding of the industry we work in and how we fit in the the financial sector.

There are quite a few extra curricular activities offered at work from company/office events to us as apprentices doing days/nights out together. There are also a few sporting events offered to those they may like to attend and also team boning days through volunteering to fun dyas together.

Yes

I have already recomeened it to a few friends and 3 of them are joing in the coming months. Id recomend Guy Carp apprentice sceme as it does provide a good qualification that has help throughout while also being paid for for you as well as some good benefits and ok pay which can all eventually lead to a better position.

Just be yourself, there is no point trying to be someone you are not as you have to work with the people around you 5 days a week. I would also say be confident and on top of your time management so that you dont get over run with things all at once.
