Full days are dedicated to training and development and include classroom-based theory, interactive workshops, group projects, internal and external secondments (onsite with media and clients).

The 18 month programme consists of three six-month modules: Foundation, Executive Management Training – Intermediate and Executive Management Training - Advanced. Trainees have the opportunity for promotion to account executive after passing the initial Foundation module (six-months), followed by a further 12 months structured training offering a fast-track route to becoming a senior account executive.
Training sessions are held at a dedicated training suite in Central London.

The objective then is to open and establish or support a new LEWIS office. The LEDA gives employees the opportunity to fast track their career through a structured six-month training plan, providing the foundations to become a PR executive.
