    • 4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    4/5

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I had a lot of responsibility at the start as a few staff were on holiday and near the end as i wasn't sent to a client in england

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It gave me a good taste of accounting, but i felt more training could have been given rather than just thrown in and expected to be able to swim. A steep learning curve but i picked up stuff rather quickly and by the end was reasonably comertable.
