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

    5/5

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

    • A fair amount but a lot of the work I received was business development rather than client focussed.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • If an accounting backgroud is one that I pursue then the skills learnt here will be give me a great headstart in future.
