  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • My training provider did not provide much support. QA apprenticeships did not help me to complete my qualification and I would not recommend them. I had a switch in tutor many times which mad eit hard for me to complete my work and keep up to date.

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • Yes there are. There are many options to choose from in what ever type of opportunity you are looking for and they are advertised on our internal page.

    9/10

  • 9. Would you recommend Fidelity International to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because I feel as though the opportunity I have been given has allowed me to mature and adapt to a working environment, something University could not provide. On top of this I have gained skills in my department which I could take to another job and build my CV.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Fidelity International?
  • The on boarding process can be quite lengthy so be prepared and really put yourself out there because there are so many opportunities that could arise from it.
