    5/5

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a lot of responsibility, but this was based on the trust that I was able to handle the additional workload so there was a two way interaction for taking on more work- which was always available!

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I am yet to go back to university with my newly developed skills but, undoubtedly, my time management, Prioritisation and problem solving and analytical abilities have improved massively which will definitely help my final year at university!

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • A good balance between working and having some very close colleagues where you could talk about personal topics etc. Atmosphere was great! When time to work, the team came and supported on another which made it so much easier to achieve time deadlines!

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well organised, support network was there from day one. Tasks were also delegated from the off-set which continued throughout!

    4/5

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