      Does Not Get Most People a Job

      Java trainee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The training is mostly good. The Unix training skims some topics. SQL is intense and the Java training is top notch.

      Cons

      only 25% of java trainees get a job as a java developer. the training is 3 months and they make you wait another 90 days. So you have to be ready to have no salary for up to 180 days! They don't pay any expenses, no travel, no lunch. They expect you to come in when training is done. If the sales people don't think you look good, you never get placed! Most people I trained with found jobs on their own or are still waiting!! They are an English company that does not understand how we work in this country. The sales people are mostly British and don't close any deals with New York companies. They want to send you to Canada! They make you sign a contract and you are stuck.. This is indentured servitude. Beware!!!!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      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!

      Cons

      The salary could be bigger in London. We are left to independantly learn Training is difficult at points
