Graduate Training Programme
Our Graduate programme lasts around 2-3 years; however, this timescale is wholly dependent on the individual paths each person will take. The aim of the programme is to give all graduates a structured pathway for the start of their career.

Technical and non-technical education such as presentation skills and time management courses will make up a significant part of the programme. Everyone’s training is individual and tailored to their strengths and weaknesses enabling you to reach your full potential and gain both reward and satisfaction.
