Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The studying and working aspect is structured very well, because we study the content in blocks, rather than throughout the entire year. Each rotation is 6 months long which I think is long enough to gain experience in each department.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive a lot of support from everyone at the company, whether it be the apprenticeship team or the actual team I am working with on a daily basis.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Heaps of support - they're the best! The tutors are so helpful and always answer questions, and we get given loads of resources to study for the exam.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Most of the stuff I learn for exams applies to tasks I do on a daily basis so I feel the qualifications do help me perform better in my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes, heaps of social activities and professional networking events.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend KPMG to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It is a pleasure to work for KPMG, and the skills you learn and experience you gain whilst on the job are invaluable. The support we get throughout our entire apprenticeship is great and I would definitely recommend KPMG to a friend.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to KPMG?
- Be yourself in the interview, they know you're going to be nervous so they're super friendly and don't expect you to give the perfect answer to every question
- Be prepared to be thrown in at the deep end, you're not treated like an apprentice - you get proper work from day 1 which is great
- Everybody is a lovely, so don't worry about making friends or liking your team because you 100% will!
