FDM Group, the global professional services provider with a focus on IT, has opened a new Training Academy in Glasgow.

The company's innovative approach trains graduate and ex-Forces Consultants in dedicated Academies across Europe and North America, with bespoke courses covering the full software development lifecycle.

FDM Consultants receive up to 4 months full time training across Software Development (Java and .Net) Project Support, Software Testing, Business Analysis, Data and Operational Analysis, whilst its senior ex-Forces Consultants work in Project, Programme and Delivery Management, utilising leadership skills learned in the Services, to provide gravitas and experience beyond graduate-level, with the added benefit of security clearance.

FDM currently works with over 130 clients in industries including finance, media, insurance, energy, and government.

Due to growing client demand within Scotland, FDM has opened the Training Academy at Sutherland House in St Vincent Street and already has over 45 Consultants working on site across its regional client base, which includes Morgan Stanley, RBS, Lloyds, Barclays and MasterCard.

In 2015, FDM aims to recruit 150 local graduate and ex-Forces personnel to address the increasing need for IT talent in Glasgow and across Scotland.
