Apprenticeship Programmes
If applying to one of KPMG's Apprenticeship programmes in the UK, please be advised that you must have and be able to evidence the right to work in the UK before the start date of your programme. KPMG welcomes applications from everyone, however there are Government restrictions on who can be sponsored and unfortunately, we are unable to provide sponsorship for our Apprenticeship programmes.
Entry Requirements
To be eligible for the Apprenticeship programme, you must satisfy all eligibility criteria for the levy funding, as set by the UK Government.
This includes having permission from the UK Government to live in the UK (not for educational purposes only) and having lived in the UK or Islands for at least the previous three years before the start of the Apprenticeship programme. During this three-year period, your main reason for living in the UK must not have been to undertake full-time education. Please see the UK Government funding rules for apprenticeship guidance for more details.
Furthermore, your eligibility to work must be valid to cover the entire duration of the Apprenticeship programme.
If you have any questions on this, please do contact us.
Qualifications
If you’ve studied overseas, you’ll need to have qualifications equivalent to our UK requirements. On your application form, you must state your qualifications as they were awarded to you - there is no need to tell us the UK equivalent. If you’re unable to find your exact qualification in the academic dropdown, please select “other” and free-type your exact qualification results. If you would like to apply to KPMG as an apprentice with international qualifications, please use the links below to find out what you may need to include on your application form.
Qualifications from outside of Europe
All grades are verified as part of our pre-employment screening process, and any discrepancies will be taken very seriously. If you're unsure how to complete your application form, then please let us know via the Contact us page.
Gibraltar
If applying to the KPMG Apprenticeship programme in Gibraltar, please be advised that you must have an in-date passport of at least a year to support with the Gibraltar application work permit. We will check this, including relevant documentation, as part of the offer process.
KPMG’s ability to make and honour any offer to you will be subject to the Gibraltar government immigration rules applicable at the time. Any offers will be made subject to immigration status and right to work being confirmed.
Discovery Programmes
If applying to the KPMG's Discovery programmes in the UK, please be advised that you must have the right to work in the UK. We will check this before we make any offers. You can find out more about working visas from Work in the UK - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
