What to expect
This program is designed to equip you with the relevant skills and knowledge to build a successful career as a Technical Analyst.

Maria Harris
IT Consultant
University of Queensland
I decided to join FDM because they understood the difficulties graduates face when finishing their degree and trying to gain experience. They are supportive of this and provided resources and access to better improve skills not just in technical skills but also personal development. Other reasons were because they were invested in helping girls learn tech and bridging the gap between genders.
