That’s a question Leonardo is keen to answer.
Global high-tech company Leonardo, are one of the key players in Aerospace, Defence and Security and they believe a company's most important assets are its people.
They invest in identifying, developing and rewarding the know-how and merits of each individual, so they can be made available to all.
Which is where Feabhas comes in.
How Feabhas works with Leonardo MW
Leonardo MW wants each graduate to have the best start to their working career and the opportunity to benefit from an ongoing learning journey.
As a training provider dedicated to improving the quality of embedded software, Feabhas is delighted to have been supporting Leonardo MW with graduate assessments and onsite training since 2009.
For the last 5 years, courses in both real-time software design and the essentials of the C++ programming language for real-time applications have been run in Edinburgh and Luton, for each graduate intake.
The results of the pre- and post-course assessments are shared with Leonardo MW. The team use them to help identify further development areas and to spot those with a real talent for particular areas of embedded software development, such as systems design and testing.
Partnership in practice
Today, the relationship between Leonardo MW and Feabhas is one of a valued partnership. For example, Feabhas uses the pre-course assessment results to adapt the course material to ensure the content is best suited to the needs of that year’s intake.
The difference we make
Here’s a taster of the graduates’ feedback about us and their training:
- “Extremely good lecturer, he set a good pace and explained everything very clearly.”
- “One of the most useful courses I’ve attended.”
- “A very useful course. I am currently updating a C++ project. It has highlighted a number of deficiencies that this project has, and has given me the tools to improve it.”
- “Very thorough lecturer, for whom no question is a problem, regardless of how it is phrased. Interesting notes and good to get experience of the compiler environment & target hardware.”
- “Feabhas training is excellent. They have the best tutor I have come across.”
- “The tutor was very good at adapting the course to take account of the fact that several participants, including myself, had not used C before.”
- “Really enjoyed it. Great benefit. Now my brain hurts!”
