Hi,
Not sure if this is posted in the right place.. or if it should be posted at all..! sorry Neo if its not :roll:

I was just wondering if anyone had any feed back for the graduate trainers/employers FDMacademy... I am looking into many options for when I graduate at the end of this year, and was approached at a graduate job fair by these people at FDM. What they where offering sounded like a very good opportunity to get into the industry and build up my work experience, as long as I was willing to work anywhere and commit for 2 years. The working anywhere is not a problem for me, the 2 years seems a little tricky, so I asked my tutors opinion and he told me to go and do some research on the company. Out of 6-7 forums that I have been on there is only 2 or 3 good comments about FDM, the others are all saying scam scam scam, although many of these are people who walked out at the interview stage after reading the contract and so haven't actually done any work with them.

Does anyone know anything more about FDM? I would really like to hear from someone having worked with the FDM academy and maybe have completed the 2 years, who can give first hand experience.
This is their website http://www.fdmacademy.com/

Thank you in advance,
Trebor :geek:

I'm not sure we can find a member who worked there. But I had a quick look on there website. Just clicked on some links and found that this organisation has gained enough recognition over the past few years from leading institutions including BSC (Medallist - 2009 UK IT INDUSTRY AWARDS). Have a look at them and if possible verify them. If they are recognized as such, I don't see any problem in joining them.

Hi Neo,

Thanks for that, I did notice that they are well recognised but all the negative feedback Ive been reading didn't fill me with confidence. :?
