Our training agreement
As we make a substantial upfront investment in accelerating your career, we have an agreement in place that you will spend 2 years after your training programme working with us and our clients, where you will gain exposure to a range of exciting projects whilst continuing to develop your technical and professional skills.
What happens if I am unable to complete the 2.5-year development programme?
In the event that you are unable to complete the 2.5-year development programme, we reserve the right to reclaim the cost of the training provided. The amount you are expected to repay is based on length of time since training. For instance, if you leave 6 months after finishing training, the repayment is 100% of the total cost of training, 80% after 6-12 months, 60% after 12-18 months, and 40% after 18-24 months.
How are the training costs calculated?
The training cost takes into account your salary during the 15 weeks of training, the length of our training, the cost of our training team, and the infrastructure to support you during training and while on client placement.
We would simply be unable to continue operating in our business model, where you are paid solely to train for 4 months, if we did not have such an agreement in place.
Are there any instances where the training agreement may not apply?
We understand that people leave training programmes for a wide variety of reasons, and we carefully assess every individual's circumstances before deciding whether or not to ask them to pay a portion of the costs related to the 15-weeks training they received.
We also have 2-week “cooling off” period in our employment contracts, meaning that if you were to leave within the first 2 weeks of training you will not required to repay any of the training agreement costs.
How transparent are we regarding the training agreement?
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.
