What is the programme?

The Benedix City Professional Programme has been developed by leading investment banks and financial institutions to make sure you are able to stand out and compete in achieving the Banking and Finance career you dream about. It is broken down into four steps to ensure maximum results.

Step 1 – Banking & Finance Psychometric Testing

We put thousands of students and graduates to interview with financial institutions each year. From years of experience we find that those who don’t know what career they want find it difficult to persuade employers to give them an opportunity. You will be psychometrically assessed so you know what career is right for you. You will then be given your own personalised banking and finance career plan for your ideal role so we can mould you into the ideal candidate. We don’t do this for fun, we do it so you can compete in these tough times for the role that suits you best in Banking and Finance. We have laernt a thing or two about what works and what does’nt work and this is your first step…
