It is an excellent way for returners to restart their careers. As part of the programme, we will provide you with seven weeks of fully funded comprehensive training to equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to continue your successful career. The training covers professional skills, SQL, Excel VBA, Financial Industry Awareness and Project Management, amongst others. Once you have completed your training through one of our academies in London, Leeds or Glasgow, you will start your two-year placement with one of our leading clients, working on site as a fully integrated member of their teams. The FDM Returners programme offers you much more than just training and experience: we will also provide comprehensive support throughout.
