Completing the Business Administration Apprenticeship supported by Four Oaks Financial Services has served as a great stepping-stone in my career progression. The course has allowed me to gain a good level of understanding in a wide range of procedures throughout the financial services industry, as well as a level 3 qualification.
Working alongside my studies has given me great exposure through the business in different departments such as Finance, Administration, and Paraplanning, and this has allowed me to further plan my career path, as it has shown me what parts of the industry I would enjoy.
Experience within the business has shown me the different processes that take place within a Financial Services firm and has also allowed me to understand how different departments work. I have also had the opportunity to attend network meetings, which has given me an expectation of what I may be getting up to in future and further broadening my knowledge of how the business world works and what I need to do to succeed.
I have since began to study the first of 6 exams to gain a Diploma in Financial Services, allowing me one day to become a Financial Adviser. In the meantime, I am looking forward to gaining more knowledge and experience whilst working at Four Oaks Financial Services.
