Once you have completed your first full-time semester of degree study at Sheffield Hallam University, you will move to the FDM centres (and remote working) to learn the foundations of providing IT support.

Initially you will gain experience supporting the computers and IT systems of our office staff and then you will have the opportunity to go and work with one of our clients in their offices.

Your Degree Apprenticeship will continue and, after 3 years, lead to a Bachelor of Science degree.

Depending on which IT specialism you choose, you might be doing IT Support at our clients, working in other areas such as software development, protecting the company from cyber security threats, building virtual robots to repeatable jobs, analysing data, or testing systems to make sure they are ready for users.

You will be learning about the role of a technologist and understanding the environments they work in, which will include:
  • Establishing, building and growing relationships with FDM staff through effective communication, and providing a friendly professional service to them
  • Learning how to carry out your work in line with FDM policies and practices
  • Helping users with their accounts: setting up new accounts, closing redundant ones, resetting passwords and managing the security and privileges the users have on their accounts
  • Ensuring that our IT assets are managed and audited
  • Installing various user hardware across the offices (laptops or display screens or printers)
  • Creating and managing user accounts, especially in relation to making sure new accounts are created for new starters and closed when staff leave FDM
  • Providing important troubleshooting and support for our users when they are using key systems such as Windows 10 and Office 365 to do their day-to-day work
  • Building PCs and laptops from scratch and installing and configuring all of the software our office staff requires to do their jobs
  • You'll also get the opportunity to go 'backstage' and work with the networks and the large servers we use

FDM is a global company which runs 24 hours a day for at least 5.5 days a week. The staff that works at FDM depends on you and your team to have IT systems that work and allow them to do their job.

So, you could be helping a user in Leeds one minute and then, straight after, someone from Singapore, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Australia or North America or anywhere else in our global FDM community.
