Your formal training will be the ICSA qualification that you will study for, normally by correspondence course via Campbell's College. You will be given extensive study leave to prepare for and complete your exams. The combination of the ICSA qualification and the practical experience on the job will provide you with great experience to prepare you for your career as a chartered secretary. You will also receive internal training in softer skills and also specific in-house company secretarial technical training sessions run for the team as a whole.
Long-term prospects
On completion of your training contract your career progression to consultant grade will be discussed with you. There is opportunity to express your interest in a particular area of the company secretarial business and we will do our best to accommodate this in line with business needs. As a consultant we would continue to offer exposure to a wide range of client work and there is also continued emphasis on training, in particular on softer skills to complement the technical knowledge you have already gained. Your responsibility for client relationships would naturally increase with your progression, as would your opportunity to develop business development skills.
