Pros

Access to good placements here

Cons

Sometimes time off placement is extensive and then you are made to feel like its your fault also not much support in if a placement isn't going well, could be mitigated if they at least considered your thoughts on the placement

Pros

FDM is great for people wanting to launch their tech career without much directly relevant work experience. Being placed gives you the opportunity to shadow colleagues who are very experienced in their field of work.

Cons

On the grad programme you have minimal say on where you are placed, I was made an offer to join one stream before entering FDM and ended up on a different stream entirely. Can be intense interviewing for placements alongside training and the exams while at the academy.
