5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I receive a lot of support weather that's from managers my performance manager or even colleagues. I feel no matter what I'm doing or how much I'm struggling I can always turn to someone for help and I wont be judged.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

There are always recourses available to self study online as well as physical copies to revise and practice. Also the college experience has been good so far and I have learnt a lot, however sometimes I feel the teaching can go a little slow so we don't finish everything and have to cover it ourselves.

7/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I feel I have learnt fundamental areas of accounting that help me better understand my day to day work in my apprenticeship. It helps understand the reasoning behind the work you're doing.

8/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are always calls scheduled that are optional to join which can help as a way of networking or gaining knowledge. Also there are many social events that get planned to help meet new people.

9a. Would you recommend KPMG to a friend?

Yes

It is an amazing company to work for with all employees willing to help. Also I agree with all their social and ethical values.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to KPMG?

First of all to do a bit of research into the company to try and develop your own understanding of what you're applying for. But most of all just be yourself.
