Training programme FAQs
We are fully transparent about our model and training agreement. We will ask you to read a clearly explained FAQ sheet and sign the agreement prior to joining, to ensure you have all the knowledge and information required before deciding.
We also understand that our model may not be for everyone so please consider this carefully before applying to join Kubrick.
All candidates that join our training will be required to remain with us for the full duration of the development period, in return for the salaried training. This will be outlined to you in the training agreement prior to you signing any form of contract.
As a consultancy, we are driven by demand, and this means there may be periods where we are demand constrained. During these times, it may take us longer than normal to place you with a client and you may experience extended periods on the bench. However, we are continuously enhancing the bench experience to ensure you get the most out of your time between client placements.
Our training syllabus is continuously updated to reflect the market, meaning we can’t always provide full details of the four-month training period in advance.
You will be required to pass a series of assessments throughout the four months which are designed to test your knowledge and abilities, plus an additional assessment post-training. If you fail to pass the assessments, your contract with Kubrick will be terminated, however you will not be expected to repay any of the costs associated with the program (as outlined in the training agreement).
You must be available for the full length of the training period as there is a lot to cover in a short duration, and any content missed during your absence will need to be covered in your own time whilst you are learning the new materials. Time off may be allowed however you must obtain approval from a member of Kubrick beforehand.
Your client will be assigned to you by Kubrick rather than self-selecting your own client. We also have clients in various locations meaning you may not be placed within an organization or industry that you would have selected and must be willing to relocate for a role. Whilst we take your preferences into account regarding client placement, we will decide your placement based on demand and where we think you are best suited.
You will be required to interview for your client placement, however we will help you prepare for it.
When you begin your client placement, it will be your responsibility to ensure you get to know the organization, understand the clients’ needs and desires, understand your role, and the team you will be working in. Although our Consultant Success team will be available to support, it will be your responsibility to ensure you hit the ground running from day one.
Whilst on client placement, your hours and work culture etc will be dictated by the client rather than by us.
It’s your responsibility to seek out development opportunities and forge your own career path within Kubrick. You will need to make it known to your line manager where you would like to take your career, rather than expecting it to be mapped out for you.
