    • Very well organised, You are well supervised from the start, and are never left unclear as to what is occurring.

    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 academy was very generalist. It does lead you to want to work in that sector perhaps, but does not do a great job of specifically informing you on what the different divisions in the company actually do.

    2/5
