I am currently in the Dublin office at the moment on training. Every year we go to training to prepare us for the next level of responsibility and audit work which we will have to perform during the upcoming year. The training lasts for two weeks and it is a nice change from the usual day to day. The trainers are from PwC and have worked on the various areas that they are training us on, so there is a lot of practical knowledge to be gained.
PwC put us up in apartments near Spencer Dock when we have to travel up for training or work. This makes things a lot easier as we don’t have to try and organise accommodation as well as having to travel up and get our work completed. Often times there are a few of us travelling up from the south east and as we usually stay in the same area it can be a bit of fun without the pressures of tough jobs. It can also be a good chance to catch up with people from other PwC offices.
However it’s important that you get your work completed before attending training as it can be a lot of hassle trying to tidy things up whilst up here. Also it creates a lot of problems for people back in the office trying to follow up on things for you.
Prior to attending training, I had been working on the planning area of a number of jobs. This is usually the time of year for this kind of work as we try and get these areas completed before going out on the client’s site. It gives us a chance to start to request items from the client, especially with a lot of large jobs it can take time to get the necessary information.
I’ll be back in the office after my two weeks training and then I’ll be getting started on some tougher jobs to keep me busy up until Christmas.
