"No Strings" Free Training Offer For New Finance Recruits

With more than 80% of training budgets cut or frozen1, Reed Finance has teamed up with one of the country's leading learning providers to offer a free training course to employers that recruit a new, qualified-level finance professional on a permanent basis.

With many of Reed Learning's courses accredited by ACCA and CIMA, the free training can count towards the attendee's Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.  There are no strings - any one, two or three-day course is free - and the training can be attended by either the new recruit or the hiring manager.

"By partnering with an established learning provider and offering free personal and professional development training courses, including 50 different CIMA Mastercourses, Reed Finance is helping organisations to make their HR & Training budgets go even further," commented Reed Finance Director Tim Vye.

"Bringing in a new, senior-level finance professional is a significant investment for any organisation.  In an uncertain economic climate, our offer of free training helps this investment deliver even greater return."
