Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Fisher German to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Fisher German
If you are able to gain some more work experience as I think if I had no experience I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much, because the team I was in was quite technical at times. That being said, there were multiple opportunities for asking questions and learning as you go along.
