Question: Once I select a programme can I choose to change?
You will have been recruited and assessed for a specific programme and business area. Whilst all our student programmes are of equal value, there will not be an opportunity to change route once accepted. Therefore, it is especially important you investigate what you want to gain throughout your career at KPMG and how the qualifications you'll work towards fit within this.

Question: What happens if I fail my exams?
KPMG values its people. We work with training experts to provide you with market-leading programmes providing you with all the resources, teaching and support needed to ensure your success. This support further extends to resit examinations. In the rare occurrence that a student exceeds the number of permitted attempts at an examination, they may see their employment contract end. KPMG is committed to your education and future success; through our dedicated Early Careers Team you will be supported all the way through. That's why it is so important to choose an employer like KPMG who invests in getting you through your exams and provides proactive, tailored support to help you achieve success.

No. All costs associated with your qualification/accreditation will be paid by KPMG. This extends to any second attempt examinations for all. In addition, KPMG will cover the cost for joining membership fees at the point you qualify.

We encourage applicants to use these channels available. Please also be advised that we conduct periodic reviews of applications to identify any fraudulent candidates or activity and there are elements of our online assessments that are retested. Candidates who are found to have acted dishonestly during any part of the assessment process, including sharing or copying assessment content or using assessment content shared by others, will be withdrawn and further action may be taken (including reporting to professional bodies, law enforcement or relevant fraud databases) as deemed appropriate.
