Pros
Great trainers who are willing to help Account managers trying to find you a job - remember for FDM to make money you have to get placed and so it’s in their best interest to get you placed I got placed at a good company in my 3rd week Without FDM I wouldn’t be working in IT
Cons
You might not get placed - if so you would have wasted a large amount of your time. In my time at FDM this happened to 1 person I knew and FDM offered them employment with FDM but they decided to leave If there is a period of time between your sign-off and placement start date you still may have to come in everyday to basically show face . A lot of the training for my course was online and I didn’t see why we weren’t able to work from home because for like 4 weeks I was - in essence - just going in to use the WiFi, which for that matter is less reliable than the internet I have at home. The course is only as good as the trainers and quiet a few of the trainers simply didn’t seem that bothered on the other hand some were really nice and really wanted to help you succeed The biggest con is you don’t get paid throughout the training but you knew that when you signed up. Pay is not amazing for the sector however if you haven’t been able to get a job through the usual methods it’s a great opportunity to get your foot in the door, just know what you’re getting in to
