I have enjoyed working in my team along with completing my qualifications

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme involves a 3 month update with my learning coach, along with 5 separate courseworks and exams. I feel it would have been better with more support with the exams.

5/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

My team offer me a lot of support and are always willing to help with questions. They have also given a lot of understanding for my time needed for exams.

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

My training provider does not offer a lot of support with the qualification. Other than the 3 monthly check ins, I have no contact with my training coach who also does not often respond to emails.

3/10

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

My qualification provides a basis of understanding to my role, however does not necessarily help with the specific concepts I deal with on a day to day basis.

4/10

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.)

At christmas, we have a christmas party. I have also attended a quiz night in the office.

9a. Would you recommend Aon to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I think that the apprenticeship has been a really beneficial way to gain experience and knowledge without going to uni.

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

I would recommend not being too concerned with how much prior knowledge you have as they will teach you everything you need to know.
