    • It was truly a great experience in the most interesting of times!

    5/5

    • People were helpful when they had time but due to the nature of the work (and the economic crisis) sometimes you had to show initiative yourself.

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

    • It was good but you need to be able to create work for yourself as well.

    • It was fairly balanced.

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

    • As interns we were not FSA regulated so you could not talk to clients but other than that I feel the teams tried their best to give us useful assignments.

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