The Broker Training Programme

Tradition is offering candidates a unique opportunity to experience the dynamic and exciting industry of broking by joining our broker training programme.

Our comprehensive programme in the highly competitive world of finance offers an excellent start to your career as a broker. The programme gives you exposure to an extensive range of products and an opportunity to network with highly-experienced industry professionals. You will gain an insight into the day-to-day reality of broking through multi-product work shadowing, formal tutorials and interactive simulated broking sessions.

Tradition’s Broker Training Programme will once again be rotating around London and European Cities. As well as offering opportunities across many asset classes, students will have the chance of being offered a position in any of the locations that are participating in the programme if they are successful.

The programme will run for approximately 4 months, and will give hands-on experience of the challenges that are faced when working in a constantly evolving industry. You will be supported by mentors throughout your journey and we will arrange regular progress checkpoints to provide you with feedback to guide you in the right direction.

Interns will sit formal exams sponsored by the company, and undergo normal checks in line with FCA requirements. At the end of the programme permanent employment will be offered to successful entrants that have proven their ability.

With a competitive starting salary and other benefits such as private medical insurance and corporate gym membership, Tradition is an employer of choice for a future generation of brokers.
