Pros

Foot in the door route for many leaving the Military. Able to train and certify and in some excellent areas.

Cons

Flexibility of locations but also the unpaid during the first 6 weeks is not always welcomed and nor is a further 6 weeks after training if no placement is found. However this is briefed and is an individual risk.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I’m glad you enjoyed your journey with FDM and that you would recommend it to others. We have little control over the location of placements unfortunately as these are determined by our clients, which is why flexibility is a requirement. We are always looking for ways to continue improving the programme and welcome all feedback. If you’re willing to discuss your feedback further with me, I would welcome the opportunity – please email me at stewart.sharman@fdmgroup.com Stewart Sharman

Pros

Very nice offices; Very nice people; My recruiter was really helpful and gave me good advice and preparation techniques

Cons

Bad deal: 3 months of NON paid training; After completing the training you have to apply to be placed with their clients and you don't get paid until you get placed. It is basically a mim degree for 3 months and the you have to make application processes The salary isn't great, specially if you go into the London area. And they provide no financial aid if you have to relocated because of a client Even the trainees that were already employed did not look happy and even said if they knew they would never signed the contract

I’m glad you like our offices and rate the people highly. I’m sorry you wouldn’t recommend FDM though. Our business model is based on assisting people launch/re-launch careers. The training period is financially funded by FDM: At that point people are training, rather than working – and the salary begins once they’re placed on a client site. It is also at that point when FDM can begin to make a return on the upfront investment that we make in people. We appreciate that the FDM Careers Programme may not suit everyone, but the vast majority of FDM consultants progress to enjoy successful and lucrative careers, which is what we set out to achieve. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback further if you’re up for it. Please feel free to email me directly, my email address is andy.brown@fdmgroup.com Andy Brown – Chief Commercial Officer
