Hello, I have got an assessment with FDM Academy on the 24th Febuary. The assessment includes a presentation, 2 written test and interview. Although I have been told the interview is more of an informal (getting to know you) type. But a bit wary on what the recruiters are looking. Has anyone attended the assessment? Please provide your experience and are there anything I need to demonstrate.
Cheers

Hi Thanks for getting back. I had my yesterday at their Manchester office. The interview was very short about 10 mins and I was asked only two questions, but the interviewer kept cutting me short. Well I am waiting for know if I was shortlisted for the next interview. Did you make it to the next technical interview?
Thanks

I also had a very easy assessment in London, although as it was explained to me, it was more to make sure that it was the right thing to do before having to book 5 days off for the next part of the process (still to come!). My interview was short, but sounds like it was a bit more forgiving than the one posted above! I was also asked numerous odd questions about where I live, how much rent I pay etc. too. I have been invited in for the next stage, and been advised on some background reading, but I would certainly advise anyone to just turn up for the first stage and you should probably pass if you land on the mystery correct answers. If it helps, I said that I live at home with my parents, 20 minutes from the training centre, and they were going to fund me through the training. Apparently next part is pretty tough, friend of mine works there who went through an old process, and he says that a lot of new candidates come in and struggle with the technical assessment. Fingers crossed!

I went through the process with FDM.-- they are a scam!!!!!!
They make people apply making them believe they will offer training but in reality they just keep you at their centers for a few weeks incase you want to leave early,,, if so they can than charge you £20000 for the training,,, so whot they doing is traping you in for a long period of time.
what they really looking for is: people with very high proffetional programing skills which they can take onboard and than send them to jobs worth £70 000 per year but will only pay you around £20000 They are just a very carefully formulated to their advantage employment agency.
Hey I have done it 2 wks ago...I wouldn't worry about it at all.They are mainly simple corrections and a few questions..You can answer them in your sleep.. The interview is also very very simple..Very informal and I dont know why they ask people to wear a suit.. All the best.
