FDM Group reviews

-You get high-value training from the get-go at no cost (no course tuition) -Time savings: you learn things in a week that you could spend a full semester on in a course elsewhere -Great, professional, knowledgable trainers -Sales team committed exclusively to placement with clients -Very well-connected company; they have contacts at real big-name companies and can get you in the door. If you do well, the client may even take you on once your 2 year commitment to FDM is up. -Lots of great company events; very social, friendly work environment

I seeked employment for five months after I finished university, and failed to gain ONE interview in this time. I trained in Application Support and have just been placed at Barclays after 4 months at FDM. It has been hard on my money, but as a route into the world of finance, it is helped. FDM could improve some areas, the VBA course is one example. But it is a lie to say they mis-inform you! I would like to point out that my experience differs greatly from some of the reviews I have seen. I knew entirely about the salary, when I would be paid, the 2 year commitment. It was discussed in my first interview and on the assessment day! In all honesty, My experience of FDM has been mostly positive, especially now I have been placed. I am personal friends with 3 members of staff and to even suggest that they have "no moral ethics" is very strange. I am sure other mounties will suggest I jump on the bandwagon and write an overly negative opinion of my time at FDM, but the truth is my experience has been what I expected, and I got what I wanted out of it, which was a job and the chance at work in the finance sector. THATS THE MAIN THING!
