    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Relatively well structured, with talks and lunches at appropriate times. Occasionally clashes with site visits and planned talks meaning some were missed, but this was generally unavoidable in such a short time frame.

    5/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • As far as possible my mentor explained things and helped me with codes of practice. The talks laid on were very good, for example explaining the APC process to us.

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • The structure and way people worked was very clear.

    5/5
