Welcome to the Fast Track Consultant Programme
Fast Track Consultant Programme
12 MONTH COURSE
Our Fast Track Consultant (FTC) programme is designed to accelerate graduate careers through providing hands on experience, study time and one to one coaching over a 12-month period. In this way, our FTCs rapidly build knowledge and experience to confidently contribute as part of our client facing and internal teams.
We take on graduates from any level of study or discipline, where experience in project management is not necessary to start your career with us. Instead, we seek individuals who can demonstrate transferable skills, who are motivated and highly ambitious.
FTC - 12 Month Fast Track Consultant Programme
Academic Focus Areas
P3M | Controls | Marketing & Sales | Digital & Technology
FTCs are encouraged to experience all aspects of the business from Architecture and Service Management to Project Controls, Marketing and Sales. This is achieved through completing rotations, which individuals may select based upon current client opportunities, existing skillsets and areas of interest.
To compliment this experience FTCs are also provided with introductory lessons about our services and key methodologies during their first three months with us. These are taught by our own SMEs to provide real insight into applying best practice approaches with our clients, and to bring together both the technical and soft skills required to be a successful consultant.
Throughout the programme, individuals are also assigned a coach who will work with them to create a tailored career plan and to get the most out of their time as an FTC. Coaches also provide a safe space to discuss ideas, reflect on problems and to learn from others in the business who also started out in junior roles with us.

A Few Words From Our Course Leader
“Our FTC Programme has been tailored to give each of our graduates a truly unique experience. With guidance from our coaches (who have been through the programme themselves), we work with our graduates to support them on their way to becoming fully fledged consultants. I’ve been involved with the programme for several years now, and it’s been amazing to see everybody go from strength to strength!”

"I joined the FTC Scheme three months out from graduating university and immediately understood the ethos of i3Works through the support structure they provide their graduates. Early on in my career, I was trusted to support our delivery to a key client in the defence sector to rapidly up-skill myself and help shape the direction of my career. This was alongside the opportunities to study for industry-recognised qualifications and delivery of a project for a local, charitable organisation - two aspects of the scheme which drew me in initially. Having now graduated from the scheme, I am well equipped through the consultancy and technical skills I’ve gained to continue delivering value to our clients."

"The i3Works FTC Programme has provided me with invaluable experience. After completing a degree in Business & Management and working recruitment for a year, I have joined the FTC programme to pursue something I wanted to do and reach my potential.
During my first year, I have participated in numerous projects and have done rotations in Business Change & Transformation, and Architecture. Both provided me with great knowledge and experience and have improved my career in consulting tremendously. I am very much looking forward to my future!"
